Hopefully Governor Ducey will give legislators and supporters of the MMM equal time and also will take the time to read both Sunset reviews of AHS and of AZGS. The porformance level of the two agencies is startling. Right now AHS has complied with only 5 of the 45 audit exceptions. This agency get millions of state dollars each year and doesn't have to follow the rules. Worrying about holistic use of buildings fades as an excuse when one takes a look at AHS. The facts that the building is empty, could be used with little remodeling if any by the MMM, and the only use AHS can come up with violates their statutes and is very ex-<br />pensive. The new president of AHS wants the mess to go away. Well for starters, he could show leadership and integrity and actually work with the frustrated auditors who cannot complete their work because of AHS staff antics. Wouldn't that be a switch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
