Black, Wright, the cooking of the books of the Black Caucus, and now this. Anyone just want to change the states name to North Louisiana at this rate?

Less merit

The duties and responsibilities of the state auditor are listed here in the state statutes. His role in auditing nonprofits that receive state money is described here.

What exactly are the responsibilities of the auditor? Does he get to investigate anyone that does any business with the state? Does he get to just pick and choose what he wants to look at?

Does anyone find it weird that he has such high profile investigations of big news stories? Does anyone else find it incredibly questionable that the auditor had his own ethic problems earlier this year?
