Foster bill seeks new state controller of public accounts
Representative John F. Foster of Somerville will introduce a bill to abolish the county accounts office and replace it with a state controller of public accounts. The controller would audit town city and county books every three years or more often, expand deputies from three to six, and allow emergency audits of collectors or treasurers with a request to the Attorney General. Foster argues local officials resist questioning accounts, urging a state law to compel regular examinations.
