Put State Auditor on this Case

Travel expenses, and dinner expenses paid for government workers? I wrote three days ago that they should all be listed on a website, before the monies are even issued, in a kind of public notices type of thing.

I'd have the state auditor's office run the website, and also be charged with approving or vetoing any personal expense of any government worker. The auditor wouldn't need to take a close look at every little expense, if he or she did not want to, but his or her sign off on them would be required.

Seems to me I've heard the auditor could use more responsibility. This would give the office that, and would give us an elected official to answer for government money being spent on trips and lunches. Checks and balances are the wisdom of good government, let's do this.
