Can someone tell me why his office, and others, were not included? I know he gives the canned reason in the article, but for 2M, I’d like to see the alleged waste of all offices.

The easy answer: An audit department conducting an audit of its own department wouldn’t be seen as good as one conducted by another group.

Edit to add:

The Brett Favre and Mississippi welfare scandal took a twist Thursday when Attorney General Lynn Fitch sued Auditor Shad White.

When you’re running for Governor, you aren’t necessarily wanting your own record discussed.

I’d think he’d rather the other candidates talk about his record rather than just pointing out Shad’s from Jones County…

That explains so much…

I just wonder if it’s ever crossed his mind how obvious this looks.

Just scanning the article, I think it's a pretty good and non-partisan report. Hard to argue against any of the recommendations mentioned in the article.

Abolish the elected transportation commission. They have no authority to tax/spend on transportation projects. Only state in nation with such a board.

So Shad went to law school…. in Boston…. And he used $2 million of taxpayer money to pay a consultant…. That happens to be Boston Consulting Group….

Somebody call Anna Wolfe

In looking at his suggested cuts, most of his findings don’t impress me very much, and are extremely speculative. The ones that are pretty obvious are that the state should move toward paperless offices and e-filing, when possible. Also the state’s procurement code needs an overhaul and competitive procurement should be the rule. 30% of procurements being on an “emergency” basis reeks of laziness, incompetence, and possibly conflicts of interest.

I could’ve saved the state 2 million bucks on this one.
