A recent audit of the state-run Alabama Music Hall of Fame found 29 significant issues with spending, including thousands spent on travel and meals, an improperly awarded bonus and other matters of noncompliance with state laws.
The Tuscumbia museum’s executive director, Sandra Burroughs, was originally asked by the Examiners of Public Accounts to repay $114,637. That amount was reduced to $64,719 after Burroughs submitted additional information about expenditures. The report was referred to the state attorney general for collection.

Burroughs was put on administrative leave without pay by the board in early March pending the state audit, the TimesDaily in Florence previously reported.
Burroughs, who also goes by Sandra Killen, could not be reached on Friday.
