State Auditor Blasts Wasteful BUC Spending
Ohio state auditor Joseph Ferguson charged the Bureau of Unemployment Compensation with wasteful spending on branch office leases, urging lawmakers to fund Director Raschig’s office and curb BUC expenditures. A Toledo audit showed escalating rentals since 1944, rising from 25,000 to 27,500 square feet and monthly payments from 2210 to 3210 dollars, with funds tight in Ferguson’s own office.
