No, I want an elected auditor because:
1.  Our city charter prevents the council from even holding the manager politically accountable (much less financially accountable.  Our Mayor and council are purely decorative.
2.  Because our absurd city charter specifies that the city manager hires every other city employee (except him or herself), we have zero financial accountability in Eugene City government.  
3.  Even in a well run city, a professional performance auditor saves far money than he or she costs.  The less than one tenth of one percent of the city budget proposed for the auditors office is a pittance comparatively.
