Notable Quote

As an employee of a small city (pop. < 3K) the difference between Auditor Anderson and Auditor Otto has been amazing. Anderson used every chance she could to embarrass local officials when they made what were nearly always honest mistakes. You had city clerks afraid to call the auditor's office to ask questions for fear they would be put under a microscope. With Auditor Otto, the staff works with local governments to ensure they are conducting themselves in accordance with state statutes. They try to stop problems before they arise, not wait in ambush in order to issue a press release later.
