THE SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE tasked with handling Auditor Diana DiZoglio’s quest to probe the Legislature agreed Monday to meet with her office but outlined a string of issues, including concerns over constitutional separation of power and the time period that her audit is allowed to cover.
In a five-page letter to DiZoglio, subcommittee chair Sen. Cindy Friedman and Sens. Will Brownsberger, Jo Comerford and Paul Feeney proposed three potential times to meet on either Jan. 29 or Jan. 30. The senators say they’re looking for a “comprehensive and productive discussion” with the Office of the State Auditor about DiZoglio’s proposed performance audit of the Legislature.
“There is no historical precedent for the OSA’s proposed audit,” the letter, shared by Friedman’s office, said. “Therefore, appropriate scope is very much an open question and one that raises unprecedented constitutional issues.”
