Amador County – The state’s Joint Legislative Audit Committee, chaired by 10th District Assemblymember Alyson Huber, will hold an informational hearing today in order to review the state auditor’s compliance reports related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). “To date California has received an unprecedented amount of federal funds through the American ARRA of 2009, but some state agencies are still struggling with insufficient internal controls and these funds are at risk,” said Huber aid Jennifer Wonnacott in a release Tuesday. She said the hearing will “focus on oversight of ARRA funds and what is being done to prevent the waste and misuse of ARRA funds, as well as the implementation of ARRA funds by two state agencies.” The California Energy Commission recently came under fire after the Auditor found it lacked adequate controls in place to prevent misuse of federal stimulus dollars and may be in jeopardy of losing the money altogether because it is not being spent quickly enough. The hearing will be televised and takes place today, Wednesday, January 20th in the State Capitol. Report by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots.
