Blunt should stop impeding audits

[kweerwolf]

(Editorial from the Kansas City Star on "Skippy" Blunt)

T he public deserves to know how tax dollars are being spent in state and local governments. So Missouri Auditor Claire McCaskill must be able to do her job without interference.

Unfortunately, Gov. Matt Blunt has interfered.

Blunt, a Republican, has directed state agencies not to cooperate with the Democratic auditor’s office except under limited circumstances. His stance keeps the public from being better informed about state government operations.

At issue between Blunt and McCaskill are so-called “performance audits.” McCaskill is good at those — she digs deep and gives ideas on how to improve management practices as well as save tax dollars.

1. Amazing

This is the same guy that with a stroke of a pen, the day after he was inaugurated ended collective bargaining for MO state employees. He destroyed Public Employee Unions in the state and now he wont allow his state auditor to see what kind "accountability" there is is the management offices.
