The state Department of Transportation released a statement responding to an auditor's report which found the department had overstated its funds by $1.1 billion (Here's our blog post about the report). Executive Director Amadeo Saenz was quoted in the statement:

“I appreciate the diligence of the State Auditor’s Office in compiling their report. We’re pleased to see that the audit report recognizes many of the same concerns we had identified and confirms many of our prior plans on addressing them. Implementation is already well underway for several of the recommendations. I am committed to increasing the department’s transparency, and the recommendations identified in this audit put us another step closer to realizing that goal."
