Response of State Auditor Zeigler to failure of state financial software, thousands of unpaid bills:

Zeigler:  “We have known for some time that the Bentley administration had major internal problems, but we really did not know just how bad those are. Now, they have become dysfunctional.  The new state financial software does not work.  It has not worked in months, and they have hid that fact. The state’s bills are not being paid.  Tens of thousands of bills.”

“I wish this software was under my authority.  Those who do have authority are fiddling while Montgomery burns.” – State Auditor Jim Zeigler
