A state auditor with a fake master's degree? That's like finding out you were baptized by the devil.

"I have a contract with Vermonters," she said Monday. "And I'm going to keep that contract."

What a fraud. She tries to fall back on some pseudo legal instrument that was generated under false pretenses.

Story from 2 years ago when she last ran:

Lots of people were talking about the $8,000 cell phone bill which Auditor of Accounts Elizabeth Ready ran up over the first sixteen months of her first term. Sources close to the Governor’s office implied that their pushing the story was payback time for what was believed to have been cheap shots by Ready, particularly her criticisms of the tax department’s woes when she took not one or two but three good shots at Dean’s management.

Ready disagrees, however, telling DPR that the story is being "shopped by Republicans." Fingerprints fingerprints. The facts came to light according to Ready when Philip Dessureau of Washington, VT petitioned her office with a Freedom of Information request which included "most everything we have which is on paper, including all our expenses, phone bills, cell phones, contracts, budget, etc. And we produced them all."

Ready said, "My problem was that we were on a bad cell phone plan and I did not know it until Mr. Dessureau’s requests. I should have seen the bill but I didn't. Our usage was $8,395, $2,298 of which were personal calls for which I reimbursed the state."

Probably thanks to Mr. Dessureau’s request if she never had seen a bill as she told us.

"Under the old plan, we had two cell phones in the office averaging over $350 per month. With the new contract we have cut that rate to just of $100 per month. There are over 1,000 cell phones in state government costing us $40,000 a month. Cell phone usage is a valid issue and I have raised that question with other state agencies. My office has learned from this. We are trying to pass on those lessons to the rest of state government. I am sorry about our contract. I did not know. I should have known. The buck stops with me," she concluded.

She asked, "Will you being doing a hatchet job?" What do you think?

Hmm. Good luck unseating a D incumbent in Vermont.

That said, might we actually hold onto the Governor's seat? I've heard we got it in 2002 (VT and NH elect their Govs every 2 years) because of a green. Any chance we're gonna keep it?
