Example Of Waste
Posted by:WOMFING TOM Rating 10 10 `Helper`The results are in and it turns out that the State Of Oregon has thrown away $588,000 of your money. That's a conservative number based on a state audit.
This is a hard number based on audits of how Oregon agencies failed to track cell phone usage by just two of three providers. The audit did not include all companies providing the service.
It's the tip of the iceberg.
The audit revealed that in some cases former employees continued to use state issued cell phones racking up high data charges and going well over allowed monthly minutes.
The audit revealed that these agencies could not account for more than a handful of the cell phones they issue.
The audit outcome estimates that if all vendors were included in the survey for these two agencies alone the waste would amount to some $1.3 MILLION DOLLARS.
Just keep this in mind as you consider giving the state more money to throw away in the special election this month.

This report on Oregon's government throwing away $588 million dollars of our tax dollars comes just in time to shed more light on why we must vote NO on Measures 66 & 67. In addition to the possibility of losing 70,000 more jobs in our state, our legislators would be back in two years to ask for more in order to feed the insatiable tax appetite of government. Please stop them now with a NO vote on Jan. 26th, and send them back to get it right--no more job-killing, business-destroying taxes!
