Oklahoma state representatives issued the following statements today, renewing a call for a public audit of the Emergency Medical Services Authority:
“Our constituents still have concerns and yet no public audit has been initiated which could begin to restore the confidence of taxpayers. A public audit is needed to learn if there are serious problems with how EMSA is conducting itself and, if it is conducting itself appropriately, to reassure taxpayers.” – State Rep. Seneca Scott, D-Tulsa
“An audit should take place in a timely manner which is both open and accessible to the public.” – State Rep. Eric Proctor, D-Tulsa
“I think a public audit is critical and I am disappointed that one is not already in the works.” – State Rep. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy
“If there is even a slight chance that taxpayers dollars have been misallocated we owe it to them to call for a complete and exhaustive audit.” – State Rep. Leslie Osborn, R-Mustang
“The public deserves to know where their tax dollars are going. An open audit will give transparency and allow openness to see where those dollars are going.” – State Rep. Josh Cockroft, R-Tecumseh
Other lawmakers expressing concern included state Reps. Glen Mulready, Richard Morrissette and Rebecca Hamilton.
