It's hard to disagree with the City Council's decision to restore the position of auditor for the City of Lincoln. I won't go so far as to imply that the firetruck mess wouldn't have happened had we had an auditor on staff, as Ken Svoboda did. But it sure wouldn't have hurt.
Once we have an auditor, it will be interesting to see how well the City Council, Mayor, and others play with him or her. As representatives and employees of the public, they should embrace the auditor and make her job as easy as possible. Unfortunately, government often doesn't work that way, with inertia, turf battles, and other barriers getting in the way. Cross your fingers.
