She Otto know better

"As a good Democrat she learned early in her career, money she wants to spend belongs only to the government - it is free money!"

What in the world is wrong with this woman? Okay - let me take a stab at it. She is a Democrat. She is a Progressive. She is a statist. And after finding out what she has been doing, she is a knucklehead. Yes, I am talking about our esteemed State Auditor, Rebecca Otto. The woman who has an elected "non-job" yet can still spend our money like a drunken sailor.

Wa, wa, wa. It seems that Ms. Otto does not like our political process. She would much prefer a monarchy instead (like we have in Washington). During the last legislative session, a bill was was voted upon, passed, and then signed into law by our not-so-healthy Governor. The new law gives counties the option of hiring their own auditors instead of using Ms. Otto's office. Seems like the democratic way to do business.

Right after that happened, Ms. Otto went into a full blown melt down. A tantrum some say. She was pissed at everyone. The legislature for coming up with this bill. The Governor (a former auditor) for signing this POS into law, and the voters for electing these stupid Republicans to begin with!

Just like Obama, when the system does not work for you, make up your own rules. She had her internal lawyers in the Auditor's office look into this matter for some time now. (Why do we have lawyers on the government payroll in the Auditor's office to begin with?) Anyhow, this job was way too big for them. You see, our esteemed Ms. Otto now wants to sue the legislature. Yes, that is right. She wants to sue them to have this law overturned.

To do so, Ms. Otto needed to hire some outside guns. Not hard to do since 95% of all attorneys are hard core Democrats. And they are not cheap. Ms. Otto has already spent $100,000 on legal fees. But who cares, right? Good lawyers cost good money after all. That is until you find out it is the taxpayer's money. Our money. Being spent (or wasted) on a fool's errand. But what does she care? It is not her money - it is free money!

Only a Democrat, a Progressive, a statist, would do something this brazzen. What in the Sam Hill is wrong with this woman? Why did we re-elect her in the first place? The Republicans had a perfectly normal candidate for this position. And he could have done a fine job without crying over spilled milk. 

What I am going to do is ask my representatives to ensure this money, this total and inappropriate waste of money come out of DFL coffers rather than have innocent taxpayers pay for it. Next, I would love to see a recall petition started to get her out of office. In my view, she is unfit for service. Maybe she could find a job in the real world so she could learn the true value of money.
