Auditor who ran for office

Previously I said if I were running for office I would talk to the auditor. In Kansas City the auditor ran for mayor. I guess he got tired of no one taking the office's advice or asking. His campaign focused on financial stability and transparency. Here is a recent story with a great quote at the bottom. The office of the Kansas City Auditor has audited tax incentives many times in 1998, 2002, 2003, and in 2007 released after he retired and announced his campaign for mayor. So I think he has a good understanding of the problems. He has not been without controversy.
