Auditor: Cutting Back & Improving Service

The Lake County auditor’s office is cutting back and improving taxpayer service — following the suggestions of the Good Government report.

Cutting back and improving service!

The Lake County Auditor shows that cutting government spending can work if technology and cross training is used to improve effectiveness.

Reports Christin Nance Lazerus in the Post-Tribune:

The Lake County Auditor’s Office is undergoing changes, including job cuts, in response to the Good Government Initiative.

Six part-time positions were eliminated in 2007.

Six full-time positions are being phased out this year.

Better technology will help increase office efficiency, as both the tax sale and property records will soon be available online.
