Our report on the 2008 hiring freeze waivers was based on the 104 requests on file at the Department of Administrative Services. The DAS report last week stated that there were 106 requests. We would like to thank the Department of Administrative Services for its continued cooperation with our investigation.
After reading our report, they found the two missing waiver requests, which had been misfiled at the Department. They are:
H-17 A request from the Office of Energy and Planning to hire an Administrative Assistant. The estimated 2008 cost was $2,880, and the annualized cost was $19,284. This request was approved.
H-57 A request from the Office of Information Technology to hire a Director of the Agency Softare Division. The estimated 2008 cost was $3,953, and the annualized cost was $36,232. This request was approved.
DAS is also drafting an official response to some of the other discrepencies between their 9/2 report to the Fiscal Committee and our analysis. We will gladly publish it in full. In the meantime, we are continuing our investigation into how New Hampshire has implemented its General Fund spending freezes over the last year and a half.
