Ind. Gov't. - "State audits, slams Lake County books"

A long story today in the Gary Post-Tribune, reported by Andy Grimm, begins with this:

CROWN POINT -- State auditors had a few simple suggestions for Lake County to do a better job of handling taxpayer money. Keep ledger books. Reconcile them with bank statements. Close the door to your safe.

Financial practices in the county received sub-par reviews in a host of State Board of Accounts audits for 2008 that were released this week.

A side-bar instructs:
To view the audit reports online, go to the State Board of Accounts Web site, www.in.gov.sboa, and look for Lake County reports posted Nov. 19.
What you are looking for is reports B35145 through B35155.
