 Here's the key quote:

“We must give the State Auditor as many resources as necessary to do an effective job,” Martinez is quoted as saying. “We should know where every penny of taxpayer money is spent.  It is inexcusable that any government agency or organization goes unaudited and their expenditures unaccounted for. Properly accounting for expenditures should be a requirement for receiving additional appropriations.” [Denish, Martinez support more funding for state auditor, New Mexico Independent, Trip Jennings, 8/24/10]
