SAINT PAUL – Two of the four republican candidates
for State Auditor have made financial errors on their 2009 campaign
finance reports. Candidates Pat Anderson and Randy Gilbert have
filed reports that don’t add up.
Pat Anderson’s gubernatorial report misstates her
ending cash balance. The reporting form instructs candidates to
subtract the total campaign expenses of $26,420.99 from total
receipts of $29,659.00. Pat Anderson says that number is $3,584.66,
but actually doing the math gives a different number: $3,238.01.
Randy Gilbert’s state auditor report misstates his
total expenditures, saying that $6,699.08 plus $30 equals $6,713.08.
The correct answer is $6,729.08.
The office of the State Auditor oversees more than
$20 billion spent each year by local governments.
