Tell the Buckeye Institute when you see Statehouse waste

CLICK THIS TEXT TO VISIT THIS BLOG'S CURRENT SITE

Hattip to RAB for informing us of a nonpartisan effort called Eye on the Statehouse to watch for waste in the Statehouse. I'm sure folks from all points on the political spectrum can make probably daily contributions to the page and the effort of examples. I would urge all of us to post comments there and email the effort each and every time we note something.

Great idea.

Here's the "About" page:

Mission Statement

The Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions is a nonpartisan research and educational institute devoted to individual liberty, economic freedom, personal responsibility and limited government in Ohio.

About the Buckeye Institute

The Buckeye Institute assists policymakers, scholars, entrepreneurs, the media and the public by providing objective analysis and sound solutions to state and local policy questions, particularly in the areas of taxation, government spending, regulation and education.

Our work challenges government intervention as the default solution to Ohio’s needs. We offer a compelling vision of how policies that maximize the freedom and independence for our citizens also bring more prosperity to our state.

The Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions neither seeks nor accepts government funding. It enjoys the support of foundations, individuals and businesses sharing a concern for Ohio’s future.

No one is more concerned about Ohio's future than me.

Again - thanks. Looking forward to contributing!

I found some waste! it's in the Secretary of State's office — not the current one, but the previous one. $80,000 in bonuses — the only state office that paid employees any noticable bonuses at all. Then there's the cost of hiring lawyers to drag their feet about a series of voter-disenfranchisement lawsuits where they should have just solved the problem instead. And what about purchasing a program to remove social security numbers from the website that didn't do the job? Or hiring people on overtime in the last days of the year to do jobs that should have been getting done all along? I'll bet the Buckeye Institute crew could find waste by the bucketsful if they looked at how the SoS office was run in recent past years! Go for it, guys!

Hah! Hilarious! Ohioans could bury the BI in investigating waste -- of their own making! D'oh!

Thanks, Anastasia - that is precisely the spirit. I actually sent in my first tip over the weekend! The $250K set aside by Husted and Harris for outside counsel to fight the Gov's veto.
