The audit was quite extensive and on the City Auditor’s web site – The findings were, “We conclude that overall, the EDC was allocating the City and Colorado Springs Utilities’ contributions to
programs that support job attraction and retention efforts, as stated in the annual funding requests.” As for the miscount error – the audit included the follwing statement at the bottom of page two. “Hence, the data supplied to Summit Economics, LLC by EDC appeared to be accurate.” A bit more positive than the headlines would make you think.

I agree with the first comment…so what’s the big deal? There are far more important isues to pursue like real sustainable job creation rather than small arithmatic errors.

11%? Hardly enough to worry about.If the rest of the city and county government could take credit for counting the increase in population, car trips per day (thus claim for bigger road budget) within 11% we would be cheering.
