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.
