The nonpartisan Idaho agency responsible for promoting accountability and confidence in state government is seeking a 4.2 percent budget increase.
The Office of Performance Evaluations Thursday made its $940,000 budget request to the Legislature’s Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee.
The spending plan includes $18,000 to increase the pay of two employees, and $2,400 for a laptop capable of handling large sets of data.
Several lawmakers on the committee thanked the agency for its work.
The office this year made public an audit of a state-run treatment center for people with severe disabilities and mental illness or other issues that found systemic problems leading to trauma for staffers and residents alike. (AP)
