Today Deena Winter notes that a volunteer audit board is ready to put City government under the magnifying glass. The question now is what areas they should tackle first. One of the ideas floated so far is for them to review the city's use of tax increment financing (TIF). That sounds like a good idea to me, though I'm concerned that a board of volunteers wouldn't have the resources or know-how to do the studies and evaluate the data in a way that will truly be useful. Still, I'd like to know what they could find out.
What areas of City government would you audit?

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
I’d like to clone Mike Foley’s auditing skills, and rip the clone(s) loose on the overall city budget, county budgets, and each department one at a time.
I’ve heard first-hand a couple of stories about city and county employees, by people that were there, that would make your heads explode. There certainly is waste that needs to be exposed and eliminated.
Not sure we can make up $6 million, but there’s definite some excess.
