Siegel/WasteWatchers Ad Campaign

Foxes shouldn't guard henhouses. And state spenders shouldn't audit their own spending.

But they will if we let them.

KTTH 770 am radio host Mike Siegel is joining forces with EFF's WasteWatchers project to fight waste and mismanagement with true, independent, comprehensive performance audits. Not the current version, where lawmakers scrutinize their own spending.

Help us place this ad! Make sure legislators know you want true accountability. Mark your contribution "Waste Campaign." All funds received will be used exclusively for this purpose.

Contribute now!

Don't forget to call your representatives! Tell them you want them to untie the hands of the state auditor so he can conduct comprehensive performance audits. (Find out who your legislator is.)

1 Part Honesty; 2 Parts Arrogance

At a March 23, 2005, House Appropriations hearing on a bill to gut the voter-approved I-601 spending limit, Rep. Jim McIntire (D) asked a supporter of I-601’s two-third supermajority requirement for the legislature to raise taxes the following question:

"Can you name a time when we [legislators] have actually not just set it [supermajority requirement] aside by majority vote? I mean, this is in many respects a procedural motion that has no bearing. It’s a statutory constraint that cannot constrain any legislature that chooses as a majority to set it aside . . . have we ever used a supermajority [to raise taxes]?"
