I wonder if the city auditor would recommend a city auditor department...if the purpose is cost savings.
“I think that people who are paying their taxes and fees have a right to know if their money is being spent scrupulously,
It's pretty pathetic when individual self control and accountability needs to be assigned to a department, because no one else has it.
I'd vote for something like this - if it was funded by firing every single department head the city has.
BTW - the cities pointed out in the article, are still having spending issues - even with an auditor. Case and point, Portland.
