Like We Needed An Audit To Tell Us This
The SJ-R is reporting that the Governor is fudging job numbers... Actually it's more like he's telling whoppers:"The Blagojevich administration's count of how many jobs it has created is filled with errors and loose definitions that inflate the total, state auditors reported today.
Chad Shaffer of the Illinois Policy Institute put the new job numbers at 26,000 during the Governor's tenure.
Auditor General William Holland said Gov. Rod Blagojevich's commerce department counts jobs it expects will be created through grant programs instead of tracking the number actually created.
The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity also changed its methods so that people undergoing training are counted as new jobs, even though the trainees are people who already have jobs, auditors said.
Auditors also found errors in the department's math and a lack of documents to support some figures."

The story is that the governor is fudging stats for his own benefit? Isn't that about as shocking as having the newspaper post the time of local sunrise each morning?
