Washington County residents have a say in how their government runs, and it's not every day that such an invitation lands in the inbox. County Auditor Kristine Adams-Wannberg is reaching out to the public for suggestions on what county government programs, services, processes, or policies should come under the microscope in 2025.
While participation in governmental processes is often metaphorically open to the public, this call for audit topics is asking for citizen input. A form has been made available on the Auditor's website, and those with ideas have until February 17th to submit their suggestions, as detailed by Washington County press release.
The endeavor could shine a light on untapped areas of the county government's operations that might benefit from a closer look. Audits are a key part of keeping government transparent and accountable, and involving citizens directly in choosing audit topics emphasizes this commitment to open governance. Auditor Adams-Wannberg will review all suggestions and announce the selected topics for auditing in March.
