Birthday: Rep. Amy Sangiolo
Quote of the Day
“The auditor does not have a proper place in determining what the Legislature does," she said. Bump accuses DiZoglio of trying to play politics with the office. "By looking at things like how committee assignments are made, who gets what office space, how people deliberate," she said. "That would be an abuse of power.”
State Auditor Diana DiZoglio is asking voters to approve her plan to probe the state Legislature, while her predecessor Suzanne Bump opposes the plan.
