Statement from Auditor of State Dave Yost

The following may be attributed to Auditor of State Dave Yost regarding Rep. Todd Snitchler’s (R-Uniontown) introduction of House Bill 2 concerning performance audits.

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Columbus - “I applaud Rep. Snitchler for the introduction of House Bill 2 requiring performance budgeting and audits for state agencies.  Performance audits can help produce skinny governments – from the schoolhouse to the statehouse.  I predict Rep. Snitchler’s bill will pass quickly, with broad bi-partisan support.  I look forward to working with him, the Speaker and other members of the House as the legislative process continues.”
