VALPARAISO | FBI agents made yet another visit to Porter County government offices, stopping Tuesday at the auditor's office.

Porter County Auditor Bob Wichlinski confirmed one agent was at his office about 1 p.m. Tuesday.

Wichlinski said the agent requested and was given payroll records involving the Porter County Expo Center.

Wichlinski said the agent was also asking about a long list of other records to determine whether they are public information.

FBI agents have visited county government several times since last year, visiting numerous departments including information technologies, plan commission, highway, clerk of the courts and the county's insurance servicing agent.
