The Tulsa County Election Board’s assistant secretary is under investigation on allegations of possible “double-dipping.”
County officials are investigating whether Shelly Boggs violated any state laws or county policies when she failed to take time off from the county while doing outside work for the state.
Election Board Secretary Patty Bryant said Wednesday that she notified Boggs of the investigation Wednesday morning.
“She is absolutely adamant that she believes she was doing the right thing upon instructions she was given from the state, and she is collecting information,” Bryant said. “In her mind, she was benefiting the county by doing the work for the state.”
