Cook County Workers Don't need receipt to get repaid?

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
It apparently doesn't take much for a Cook County government employee to get reimbursed for an expense.

Sometimes employees provide no proof of their actual expense, while other times they produce handwritten notes instead of receipts, according to findings of an internal county audit.

It's not known how much that lax oversight has cost the county over the years, but Board President Todd Stroger says it's ending.

"All departments will be audited moving forward," said his chief of staff, Lance Tyson. "Accountability is really one of the major elements of this year."
Are these the morons you want to run a health care system??
