Convention Backs Watchdog Office in Rhode Island
Providence delegates at the Constitutional Convention voted to create a legislative auditor position to oversee all state agencies. The auditor would be elected by the General Assembly for a 15 year term, could not run again, and would be removable only by the grand committee. The role mirrors a federal accounting function, aimed at performance audits and ensuring proper expenditure of funds. The plan, introduced by former Gov. Dennis Roberts, seeks stronger financial control and governor power balance, with other proposals rejected by the convention.
