Nebraska state Sen. Amanda McGill-term limited at 34-is ready to bring energy and enthusiasm to the state auditor's office. At the time McGill took office to represent northeast Lincoln eight years ago, she was the youngest woman to work in the Nebraska legislature in 25 years. "Since I'm term limited, I was looking at ways to further continue efforts of reform and digging into government mismanagement and waste and felt that the state auditor's office was the best way to do that," McGill said...

Oh, how I wish that I could begin this with a nonchalant “once upon a time.” It was many years ago, to be sure. In Erie, Pennsylvania, for some project during my television days, I read that the city’s minor league baseball team had a game that evening and headed to the ballpark.
