Spending Overseer Proposed to Watch State Spending
A North Carolina House bill by Rep. R. Frank Everett seeks an independent state auditor to curb extravagance and prevent unauthorized expenditures. The measure would free the auditor from gubernatorial budget control and assign system standardization duties jointly with the State Department of Administration. Everett favors a later comptroller proposal but says it would need a constitutional amendment. In the Senate, a drunkometer bill was sent to a judiciary committee for study, halting debate.
