The Associated Press offers up today's must-read piece on what it means to be a Republican. They offer us an in-depth look into State Auditor David Vaudt's investigations, markedly up from his predecessor, where he has rooted out nearly $7 million in taxpayer fraud in just five years. That's astounding. His office has conducted nearly 100 special investigations, and in too many instances, they have found that your tax dollars are being misspent, misused or worse. Think about the thousands and thousands of unchecked ledgers out there, all purporting to effectively manage your tax dollars.

I have recieved a number of e-mails and even listened to some
kolleague pontifications as to why certain names like Iowa State
Auditor David Vaudt were not listed in the Krusty 12-Pack. Certainly a
strong argument kould be made as to why he would be a formidable
kandidate konsidering his work to bring the CIETC scandal to light and
a few "Go directly to jail and do not kollect $200 as they pass Go"
tickets to the La Machina members. More recently he exposed the
charade of state government konsulting kontracts that promised to save
taxpayer money but ended up saving far less than the konsulting
kontract fee as was the kase for A.T. Kearney.
