State Auditor Shad White is urging lawmakers to prioritize the reduction of government waste and the enhancement of education reforms during the upcoming 2025 legislative session. In a recent statement, White emphasized the importance of addressing inefficiencies within government spending, which he believes could free up vital resources for more effective programs.
White's advocacy for education reform centers around improving the quality of education in the state. He argues that investing in educational initiatives is crucial for the long-term economic growth and development of the community. By reallocating funds from wasteful expenditures, White believes that the state can better support schools and provide students with the tools they need to succeed.
