Attorney General: the chief law officer of a nation or state who represents the government in litigation and serves as its principal legal advisor

Auditor General: The auditor general is responsible for ensuring that all state money is spent legally and properly (probably Ted Stevens biggest enemy in Alaska , right now)

State Treasurer: The State Treasurer serves as chief executive of the Treasury Department. The powers and duties of the Treasurer and the Treasury Department are delineated for the most part in The Fiscal Code and generally involve the receipt and disbursement of funds by the Commonwealth, as well as the deposit, investment, and safekeeping of moneys and securities belonging to the Commonwealth.

Thanks Puella! :-)

Then I think I will peek at state finances...first. overall- I am pleased with how the state is run. im very satisfied with state rep...for the most part the governor is fine .... the thing on budgets tho is it is usually 18 mos later that we know the budget effects.

Good on you pa! I wish more people did a bit of research before voting. I know some in my family just vote party line, and that is NOT always the way to go, for sure!

http://www.budget.state.pa.us/budget/cwp/view.asp?a=3&Q=219768&PM=1    check out- "nutient trading" ? huh?

I do not want the water privatized.   a 400 mil bond issue is on the ballot.   but i had voted for an earlier bond issue for parks and the money was used in frivolous ways.

//   Maybe I take the vote too seriously.   Tho- voting is a serious, matter ....I trust the registrar.
