Due to growing concerns among citizens regarding the management of city
finances, I, as a resident and taxpayer of the City of Racine, hereby
demand an audit of three of the key components of our government. The
City Attorney's office, for an accounting of lawsuits and fees the city
has had to pay, The intergovernmental Revenue Sharing Account, through
which a significant portion of program and project financing flows, and
the Management Information Systems Dept., which spends 2.3 million
dollars annually with a staff of 8 employees. This audit must be done by
an independent and reputable accounting firm as soon as possible, but
no later than Jan. 31, 2015
The silence from city officials continues despite the clear questions we have raised about their spending. It is exhausting to keep pushing for simple transparency when they seem determined to look the other way. I am going to keep digging into these records because the public deserves to know exactly where their money is going.

Reaching this point has been draining but your recognition of these financial issues confirms why I started this. The momentum is finally building and I am not stopping until we get the transparency we deserve.

Transparency is everything. If they have nothing to hide then let someone look at the books.

I don't think we should limit it to (3) accounts; as there could be other accounts where items could be mis-applied......I think an audit should emcompass ALL accounts.
