Excellence vs Errors Alert

Rebecca is relentlessly focused on excellence. She keeps her nose to the grindstone and works to insure the integrity of the numbers in the $20 billion of taxpayer money spent each year. That's why she's earned the national Excellence in Accountability Award, making her a national leader among State Auditors.
Rebecca's opponent, former State Auditor Pat Anderson, has a different approach. She wants to be an "activist" State Auditor, and to use the office as a "bully pulpit" to push for her political agenda. But before you can talk about activist agendas of restructuring or deconstructing government, there is a more important job qualification - math.
Anyone can make a mistake - even Rebecca. It's not Pat's mistakes that matter, it's the ongoing pattern of them, going back nearly a decade, that shows she's careless about details - which is not the best quality in a State Auditor. Who do you want watching over your tax dollars?
