Correction: No Forensic Audit Required By Budget Bill

On Tuesday, we reported the state budget included a requirement for a forensic audit of the MTA. That information was incorrect. The document we took that information from was the State Senate's one-house version of the budget bill, not the final version approved by the full legislature. The budget bill that ultimately made its way to the governor's desk did not include any audit requirement.
