Bill Wells took a shot at Denver Auditor Dennis Gallagher yesterday, according to the Denver Post. From the article, "The challenger in the race for Denver auditor gave incumbent Dennis Gallagher a failing grade Monday. Bill Wells said a survey done by a government auditing organization showed Gallagher's office performed below best practices in 15 of 17 auditing categories. 'Were I auditor,' Wells said, 'this is where I would start. I would use this as our measure of professionalism.' But the Association of Local Government Auditors said the information Wells used was not intended to assess performance. 'That's definitely not how this information was put together,' said Jeff Litchfield, the Colorado Springs city auditor who compiled the survey for the auditor's association. Litchfield said the survey cited by Wells asks auditor offices to self-report efforts they think are noteworthy and worth sharing industry-wide. Gallagher issued a statement saying 'it is unfortunate that political purposes are driving wildly irresponsible attacks on the professional audit team of the Denver Auditor's Office.' The auditor noted that his office received the 'highest standard of evaluation' during a peer review by the same organization."
