State Audit of City of Pacific began Apr.5, 2011

STATE AUDIT for CITY of PACIFIC the State Audit officially began April 5th, 2011 If you have a concern about Pacific government questionable spending you can arrange to meet privately with the auditor, Carl Zilch 314-340-7575. carl.zilch@auditor.mo.gov It is estimated the audit will take 6 - 12 mos for completion. At that time the audit will be presented to the city and its citizens with the recommended corrective actions, if any. We really have already paid the expense of this audit(est: $35-$50,000): Pacific pays taxpayer dollars to be a member of the MML (Mo. Municipal League) ($225/yr plus 95 cents per person) MML got Pacific a settlement with AT&T, which $112,437 has been deposited into Pacific’s rainy day fund. AT&T is now charging its customers for that litigation with the MML, on your monthly bills. So, even with the possible cost/estimate of a State Audit, YOU have already paid for it thru your taxpayer dollars and now your AT&T bill. Respectfully, Chief Petitioner, BJ Lawrence, 1207 W. Congress, Pacific, MO 63069 636-271-7817 beejayl@peoplepc.com Contact if you wish to be kept advised.
