Dave Vaudt once again looking out for Iowa

State Auditor Dave Vaudt released a report today revealing yet another way that Iowa Taxpayers have gotten the shaft from our state government. Our esteemed leaders have paid A.T. Kearney, a consulting firm roughly $4.5 million dollars over the past two years. Their task was to find cost savings in the state budget.

The justification for this $4.5 Million expense: Find $10.6 Million in savings.

But that's just where the lunacy started. Not only did they fail to give us value for our $4.5 Million, they found only $3 Million in savings. We lost $2 Million on the deal. Nice.

So, our leaders in another brilliant move, decided to bring these guys back for round two. Not only did they again fail to pay for their services, they only found $50,325 a year in savings.

Is anyone paying attention besides Dave Vaudt?
