“We stand behind my report and my auditors’ conclusions.”-April Renfro, Certified Public Accountant for Idaho’s Legislative Audits Division

The latest audit of the Idaho State Treasurer’s Office revealed widespread abuse of state taxpayer funds.  The Office has been headed by Republican Christian Ron Crane since 1998!

Legislative auditors discovered that Crane oversaw the loss of $10.6-million USD in bad investments of taxpayer money! Auditors expect the loss to climb to $27-million!  The long overdue investigation is late to the game, because such claims of huge loses came as early as 2008!

The investigation says Crane ignored state laws meant to reduce financial risks!  Crane is currently playing around with $2.9-billion in state funds!

Of course Crane denies everything, and even questioned the state auditors’ competency saying they “…second guess our decision by using ‘hindsight’…”

And this guy keeps getting re-elected!  Like George Carlin said, “You voted them in. You caused the problem.”
