Gary Comegys to Salisbury - "This Audit Thang Has Been Blown Out of Proportion"

That's right folks. Mr. Comegys thinks that losing over $10 million of taxpayer money just isn't worth much of a bother.

Mr. Comegys also claims that equating the city audit to a family balancing their checkbook (as Councilwoman Debbie Campbell has asserted) is not a fair comparison. Comegys claims that the city does this on a regular basis. Well, if he had bothered to read the audits since he has been on council he would know that the city's finance department IS NOT balancing their checkbook on a regular basis. If our local Nobel laureate bothered to do a little digging he would know that many of the city's financial problems would have been solved if the Tilghman administration had kept their word and accurately reconciled accounts on a regular basis.

I think Salisbury taxpayers need to start worrying about how bad things have to get before Comegys feels that getting a timely and accurate audit is something to be concerned about.
