California lawmakers are accused of ignoring a decade’s worth of warnings from the state auditor. A report from CBS News says that has cost the state billions of dollars. The warnings have cautioned lawmakers about government waste, fraud, cost overruns, and broken oversight systems across state government. Audits have called for changes in state law to correct those problems, but many of the recommended fixes have not happened. An analysis of state audit recommendations dating back to 2015 shows lawmakers failed to act on three out of every four recommendations that required legislative action. A recent report also shows lawmakers ignored years of warnings from the California State Auditor about hidden traffic violation fees.
