The FBI is investigating Newton County officials for $200,000+ in questionable expenditures of federal disaster funds and county road funds. Some of the money seems to have gone to companies owned by a quorum court member and his families. Former Newton County Judge Harold Smith made $214,097 in unauthorized and undocumented payments to several firms, including an excavating company owned by Justice of the Peace Mike Tabor, and to a farm supply company owned by Tabor’s stepfather.^[2]
