Unusual Lame Duck Auditor Casey Slams State Work
Auditor General Robert P. Casey, ending eight years in January 1977, defies the typical lame duck pattern by continuing aggressive audits. Since his December 1975 decision not to seek office, he has targeted waste and mismanagement in Pennsylvania state government, highlighting a $150 million in savings and probe findings. He accused Governor Shapp of inaction on electric power rate adjustments and called attention to uninvested cash in state funds and a $29 million idle fund concern, plus hospital spend without patient care since 1973.
