Republicans welcomed the investigation as a way to determine if Dach misused his vehicle.

“That’s the important reason as to why the investigation is necessary, because there’s certain things we’ve seen from that report that are extremely alarming,” Sen. Stephen Harding (R-Minority Leader) said.

Harding said he wanted more efforts to provide transparency around how state employees use state-owned property.

He pointed to audits that have also found misuse.

“This is hard-earned taxpayer money, there needs to be significant transparency in it’s usage,” Harding said.
