Broward Schools Auditor Becomes Special Agent

Auditor Who Dug Up Waste And Mismanagement Goes To Inspector General's Office

Posted On Nov 30 2011 11:50:06 AM EST

As an auditor, has uncovered a whole lot of mismanagement, waste, and wrongdoing at the Broward County School Board.

But won't be there to dig into the schools' hornet nests anymore. His last day at the district was yesterday.

No, protective school board members -- since-criminally charged Kraft especially didn't appreciate his auditing skills -- haven't given the ax. He's onto bigger and better things as a special agent.

has been hired to work as an investigator with the new Broward Office of the Inspector General, where he'll be expected to root out corruption across the county. He'll join a team that with him now totals five special agents.

"We're pleased to have Special Agent coming on, as we are pleased to have all of our special agents, each of whom have already displayed initiative, ability, and integrity," Inspector General W. told Local 10 this morning.

The school board, however, will lose one its most diligent watchdogs. Back in 2007, I wrote a story on ' work in which he made a rare public comment.

"They beat me up on a daily basis," said of school board officials who didn't like to be questioned. "But I don't respond to their beatings the way they want me to. I just keep doing my job."

Let's hope he keeps doing that kind of work at the IG's office. © 2011 © 2011
