No comment is Mautino response to being asked to step down

It doesn’t look like Auditor General Frank Mautino has any intentions of giving up his job.

In response to State Senator Sue Rezin calling for the Spring Valley Democrat to step aside while an investigation into his campaign spending is ongoing, a Mautino spokesman simply says “we’re offering no comment on the senator’s statement.” Mautino has hired Ryan Keith of RK PR Solutions to handle all media questions since he’s come under fire for how he spent money when closing out his campaign fund as a state representative.

The Illinois State Board of Elections has given the longtime Illinois Valley politician until July 1st to provide more details about money spent at a bank and gas station in Spring Valley. Mautino’s spokesman told Classic Hits 103.9 WLPO that “the process continues for the Board of Elections ahead of July 1.”
