So I was Wrong

Some of the audits are on-line and in some cases at least the overviews are on-line. I misread the story and thought it was a couple audits, but it is several that have been realeased. It’s different than the Missouri system which I use quite frequently so the mistake is mine–The Auditor’s Office could make things clearer, but does make most available in some form.

The point made throughout the audits that I’ve already picked up on and why Holland and his people focused on it is quite simply, taking money allocated by the General Assembly and putting it to other uses is a violation of the State Constitution. It’s an usurptation of Legislative Power, but in this case there doesn’t appear to be a willful effort to subvert the law, but an incredible fumbling from the CMS that is supposed to provide support to the other agencies. Improperly spending line item appropriations is specifically what the Illinois Auditor is supposed to watch for and he found it in multiple agencies because of this poorly implemented system.

The CMS comments are on page 9-10 of the printed document, the 12th and 13th page of the .PDF file. The e-mail from GOMB, which was dated two months prior to the law taking effect and four months before CMS actually billed the agency, is referenced on the 12th page of the .PDF file.
