League of Women Voters of Wisconsin: Importance of our nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau

The nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau (LAB) should not be weakened or replaced with political appointees—that’s the view of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, and the League is working to educate the public on this issue. The nonpartisan LAB—which does financial and program audits of state agencies—is part of the system of checks and balances that protects us, the citizens, from government waste or fraud. A current proposal is to replace the LAB with a committee of political appointees.
