YOU ASKED: Ward 8 ANCs Spent $46,661.12 On 'Telephone Services' In Fiscal Year 2010 - The Highest In The City

Man, Twitter was on fire this morning! "Accountability" was the word of the day for several tweeps and there was a lot of references to past DC Auditor reports, namely the Advisory Neighborhood Commission Audit Report for Fiscal 2010. Some folks have serious concerns about how their tax payer dollars are being spent, specifically as it relates to the use of "telephone service" (including cell phones) by some ANCs.



As my name was referenced in some of the tweets I got a lot of DMs (Direct Messages) inquiring about the report. Instead of replying to each seperatly I thought I would just repost the report again.

If you have questions please go to the source because frankly I don't have any answers but feel free to comment on this post. :)

Go HERE to read the original post --- the commentors were NOT forgiving.
