From the News-Gazette:
House Republicans on Wednesday called for a “comprehensive, top-to-bottom audit of state spending,” a review that a former gubernatorial candidate predicted would uncover more than $1 billion in waste.
“During a time when every family, every school and every nonprofit organization is assessing their own budgets and finding ways to make every dollar stretch a bit more, it is only appropriate that we ask the same of government,” House Republican Leader Tom Cross, R-Plainfield, said.
Cross said his proposal for a forensic audit, which would be conducted by Auditor General Bill Holland, would review state spending, hiring, procurements and contracts during the administrations of Govs. Rod Blagojevich and Pat Quinn.
