Thank you for placing your trust in me by re-electing me as your Erie County Comptroller. It is my privilege to serve as your taxpayer watchdog - your independent county comptroller - and I am honored to work on your behalf.
I am proud of my office's record of accomplishment during my first term and I pledge to continue to do the same going forward: ensuring the stability of Erie County's finances, identifying ways to provide needed services as efficiently as possible, exploring new cost saving initiatives with our partners in government, and exposing the waste, fraud and abuse of your hard-earned tax dollars.
You can help me in these efforts by anonymously contacting my office, 24 hours a day, to report any waste, fraud or abuse of your tax dollars through my Whistleblower Hotlines by calling 716-858-7722 or by filling out a form on the Internet at http://www.erie.gov/comptroller/report_abuse.asp. Every report is reviewed and prior tips have resulted in the discharge of employees abusing their jobs.
The Comptroller is the chief financial, accounting, reporting and auditing officer for Erie County. My office acts as an independent check on the rest of county government. There are four main divisions of my office working on these issues:
