Raleigh likes to talk about accountability in November. This campaign wants it written into the appropriation itself.
When a spend clears $1 million, a small, automatic set-aside for an outside audit is not hostility to government — it is respect for the people paying the bill. It says: we are confident enough in this work to let someone who does not report to the spender look at it.
That is the spine of the Accountability & Government Spending Act. Read the full proposal, come to a Saturday fireside, and tell us where the draft is soft.
