WILMINGTON, Del. – Delaware Gov. Carney on Thursday announced that he will appoint Dennis Greenhouse to serve as the state's auditor of accounts. Greenhouse will serve in this role until such time as the person duly elected at the upcoming election on Nov. 8 takes office in January 2023.
Greenhouse's appointment comes a day after embattled state auditor Kathy McGuiness resigned from the post after she was sentenced to one year of unsupervised probation and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and complete 500 hours of community service for official misconduct and conflict of interest convictions.
“We’re grateful that Dennis is willing to serve the state of Delaware as the auditor of accounts, an office that he previously held,” said Carney. “As auditor, he will be tasked with completing the annual comprehensive financial report over the next several months. Because of his experience, I’m confident that Dennis is right person for the job and can hit the ground running.”
Greenhouse has previously served as the auditor of Delaware, elected in 1982. He later served as New Castle County executive, assistant associate director of the Bureau of State and Local Affairs at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, and various positions at the United States Department of Justice including deputy director of Community Oriented Policing Service, deputy director of the Office of Victims of Crimes, and Director of the Community Capacity Development Office.
