i believe him.. really do we think Bush approves expenses and check coding. in my years of working very few managers ever checked a coded expense bill. they always relied on other supervisors or clerks to handle those things. that may be why they get into trouble.

Seriously... do you really think that ALL of these separate City departments would 'accidentally' adopt all of these expenses into their budget lines --- unless some higher-up functionary from the City's administration told them to? The Assigned Counsel Administrative Office (who's task is to provide poor defendants with free lawyers) would cut it's own budget by $400,000 to pay for police over-time out of town that it never used or ordered? The Office for People With Disabilities? The New York City Loft Board? Etc., etc.... Are you kidding me? (If you're buying that line, I'd like to talk to you about this bridge over the East River that just came into my portfolio!)
