Our collaboration is a very powerful tool and truly a great avenue to help insure each of our successes. This type of tool does not exist in most industries. Given this, I sincerely hope you will ALL join me in responding to OASBO’s request for input for their upcoming February 26<sup>th</sup> meeting with the Auditor of State. I will be letting them know that it is beyond time for change with regard to the unreasonably onerous connection each of us must manage when it comes to the connection between licensure, findings for recovery and our personal assets. We don’t own the place, therefore should not be held to this this unreasonably high standard that no one else in the organization is held to. I have not done a cost benefit analysis, however I am confident the money and time wasted by finance offices (us) across the state chasing this sometimes elusive animal far outweighs and “recovery” the state will ever receive from any of us.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><u>Please</u></i></b> take this opportunity to be heard from and let the Auditor of State know how big this issue is for so many Professionals in every corner of the state. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Regards,</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Dave Fleming</p><p class="MsoNormal">CFO/Treasurer</p><p class="MsoNormal">Wauseon Exempted Village Schools</p><p class="MsoNormal">419-330-2009</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></body></html>
