Good Idea
Tennessee Republicans want independent audits for government agencies. I think it’s a great idea (full disclosure: I’m an accountant with extensive government auditing experience – ka-ching):
State government needs to be audited annually by independent outsiders and voters should get more say in choosing certain state officials and judges, state House Republican leaders said yesterday.
As a run-up to the Jan. 13 start of the General Assembly, GOP leaders unveiled more initiatives yesterday. It was the fourth in a series of press conferences this month for the minority party.
The proposed legislation calls for a more efficient government and a more accountable legislature, said Rep. Tre Hargett, R-Bartlett, leader of House Republicans.
