Hot-Line For Reporting Abuse Or Waste Of State Resources In Service State Auditor Edward Renfrew recently announced plans to im plement a “hot-line” effective Ju ly 1 to report fraud, waste or abuse of state resources. Mr. Ren frew said, “As State Auditor, it is my duty to constantly seek im proved methods of discovering in stances of fraud, waste, or abuse involving state funds, property or state employees’ time. My staff is specifically instructed to be alert for such instances of potential or actual wrongdoing or mismanage ment. Beginning in July we will also have in place a telephone line in the State Auditor’s Office specifically designated to receive calls from state employees and citizens who wish to report in stances of fraud, waste or abuse. I have discussed this hot-line with Governor Martin and the legislative leadership and all are very supportive of the concept. ” Auditor Renfrow continued, “The hot-line will provide a safe means whereby those who observe abuses can report them without fear of placing their careers in jeopardy. Abusive practices diminish the resources we all have to do our jobs and their elimination is, therefore, in the best interest of state employees as well as taxpayers.” The hot-line number is (919) 733-3276. It will be answered bet ween the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Friday by designated personnel. The caller will receive a report number in the event he learns of more in formation or calls again to learn of the status of the report. Auditor Renfrow said, “My staff will review all reports and deter mine whether or not the allegation is of a serious nature. We will ask the agency involved to respond to allegation(s) of a minor nature and report back to us. If the allegation(s) is serious in nature, we will assign the appropriate staff to investigate and report back. In accordance with G.S. 147-64.6 (c) (12), we will inform the Governor, Lieutenant Gover nor, Attorney General and Speaker of the House of serious allegations.” Mr. Renfrow stated that while the initial hot-line will be a local number only, a statewide toll-free line may be. installed at a later date. He stated, “l am committed to fiscal responsibility and fiscal i accountability in state govern ment. I am excited about this new hot-line project and believe it will become an important tool in the State Auditor’s Office to identify fraud, waste and abuse.” Dr. Robert LaVlctoire, chiropractic physician, and bis assistant, Carolyn Clayton, demonstrate problem areas, the neck and lower back, that cause the most-pain in pa tients.
