Salmon for Auditor
“Politicians, If you want to lead by example, part of the game is being brutally honest about what is
productive and real versus politically correct, immaterial and fear-based. Politics is calling for warriors. Step
up and tell the truth with civility; people are starving for it.” -T.M.S.

| In 2007, Auditor Salmon and other State Auditors, regardless of party affiliation, fostered a concerted effort to breed awareness of the fiscal impacts of legislative actions. Auditor Salmon testified in Montpelier on the fiscal impact of potential decisions such as paying Bennington Sick Building claims under Workers Comp. Auditor Salmon met with David M. Walker, former Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office who preached loudly that the US is on an unsustainable path we can neither grow or tax our way out of. For more information on David Walker, please watch this 9 minute video: David M. Walker CPA on 60 Minutes |
| In 2008, Auditor Salmon successfully restructured the State Auditor's Office to have true performance audit capacity in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards. Governmental organizations at the federal, state and local levels have found that a commitment to fact-based measurement of performance can have significant benefits. Such "increased financial communication" can provide critical insight into whether specific programs or activities merit additional funding, deserve less funding, elimination, or have their actions directed to more fruitful lines. |
