- Shortsleeve would tie legislative funding to audit compliance
Republican Brian Shortsleeve threatened to veto $110 million in legislative funding unless lawmakers comply with an audit by Auditor Diana DiZoglio.

DiZoglio accused the Legislature of violating separation of powers by restricting the audit.
