Re: "Auditor: Legislature finances 'really bad,'" July 27.
NDP house leader John Horgan thinks the findings of the auditor general's audit on legislature finances are an embarrassment for all members of the legislature. It goes far beyond that.
According to the auditor general's report, it appears there is systemic malfeasance within the B.C. legislature. It is noted that after years of work, the auditor general still has not been able to even meet with MLAs to present his findings.
Secrecy, mismanagement and arrogance seem to trump public accountability and the fundamental principle of earning and keeping the public's trust.
