My thoughts on the audit

Hi, everyone. This is Jessica Bradley Rushing. I'm just popping in here to answer a question that I get asked a lot, and that's what is my opinion on the audit? I can keep this really brief. I am in support of it. I am one of the 72% of people across the Commonwealth who voted to audit our state legislature. Now, I also know that if an independent auditor had been appointed way back when we initially had this vote, the audit would probably be done already. I think that that would have been in the best interest of everyone. I don't think it's a great look at all when we have elected state officials in the legislature and the executive branch politicizing something like this. People deserve to understand what their state legislature is doing, and an independent audit would accomplish that. And at least if not, it would move us in the right direction. I hope to see that happen sooner rather than later. I definitely support the audit, and I think we need far more transparency in our government. So that's my opinion on the audit. That's where I stand. Thanks for listening.
