Thanks @wcax for your coverage of our recent report on the oversight of law enforcement. Everyone wins when we know officers are informed by the right training and are guided by appropriate policies. wcax.com/2022/09/08/no-…

Our latest report on VT homelessness spending was featured on @wcax wcax.com/2022/07/29/is-…
This article references the audit my team released this week re: the state's Health Care Stabilization grant program. We found approximately $7M of awards we reviewed were too high or shouldn't have been made at all per state statute and federal rules. sevendaysvt.com/vermont/as-cos…
Yesterday my office released a new report on the state's Dam Safety Program. You can get an overview in this @wcax story. wcax.com/2022/02/16/aud…
Thanks @vermontbiz for sharing our work with your readers. vermontbiz.com/news/2022/janu…
The latest work from my office asks if Vermont's performance measurement efforts "Measure Up" wcax.com/2022/01/24/vt-…
“They reported some estimates of financial and economic benefit that are not supported by the facts,” Hoffer told VTD. “There’s a great deal of speculation and qualifiers in that report, which is understandable because there isn’t a lot of hard evidence.”vtdigger.org/2021/12/21/aud…
Thanks to the @RutlandHerald for capturing the takeaways from my office's latest report. Head to my website to read the full report rutlandherald.com/news/auditor-m…
Thanks to @wcax_Cutler and the crew at @wcax for going in-depth on our new report about Vermont's largest job training and career services program. wcax.com/2021/10/11/is-… #vtpoli
Last week my office released a report that evaluates Vermont state government's largest career services and job training program. You can find it here... auditor.vermont.gov/sites/auditor/… #vtpoli

Coverage by @vprnet of our office's recently released audit. vpr.org/vpr-news/2021-…
Did you know that depending on where you live in VT you may pay vastly different amounts for the same medical services? With new hospital price tools, Vermonters no longer have to pay just any price for quality medical care, they can pay the best price. us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=ecafde909c0…
New audit report finds numerous schools and other entities failed to check the Child Protection Registry when hiring. Failure to do so could put children at risk. vtdigger.org/2019/12/18/aud… #vtpoli
Hey kids, the business climate bogeyman is back. The Governor said Energizer is leaving Bennington because VT creates “unique burdens & barriers to growth.” But there’s nothing unique about losing manufacturing jobs. See my comment at the end. vtdigger.org/2019/10/31/fac… #vtpoli
Are you confused by all the talk about migration to and from Vermont? Who can you believe? The Joint Fiscal Office recently published a report that is very helpful and debunks some myths. If facts matter to you, check it out. ljfo.vermont.gov/assets/Publica… #vtpoli
The issues my office spotlighted during an audit of the St Albans TIF District are a matter of legal compliance, not policy. Was the law followed or wasn't it? Here's an overview of the ongoing issues: vtdigger.org/2019/09/04/dou… #vtpoli
Lake Champlain cyanobacteria alerts at all-time high vtdigger.org/2019/07/28/ear…. As we pointed out in recent @VTstateauditor report, the State needs to focus on the greatest phosphorus reduction for the dollars spent. auditor.vermont.gov/sites/auditor/… #vtpoli
