Since the 'auditor', if authorized by the voters, and paid over half a million per year has no power except to tell the voters what they already know (City of Eugene is unable to properly manage the taxpayers' money) this 'Locomotive' is going to actually  produce little more than steam and smoke.

I recite again the experience of the audits in Portland and the fact that they have had little effect over the years except to sell news and produce sound bites for the next election.  

But, Eugene voters continue to elect and re-elect the same people who are wasting their money, so maybe they just like the entertainment!
