We held hearings on a number
projects
One of the issues that we spent a lot of time discussing is the
half a billion dollar
accounting error apparently made by the department of revenue
When the first error was discovered in December the Senate Democrats,
John Broden
made a motion to have an external audit
review all of these procedures by Department of Revenue
that motion at the time in December was defeated
This time however I think that they could not ignore this any longer
and so I made a motion this time that we do we have an external audit and
that it be both
on programming which
is the IT portion of this mistake
as well as all the operations and procedures used by the
Department of Revenue
and the OMB
this time the motion was accepted and passed
unanimously by the budget committee so hopefully we're going to be able to
reconcile
this problem to make sure that we have good numbers
