Members of an oversight Senate committee were yesterday shocked to learn that unscrupulous county officials had been forwarding fake budgets to the Controller of Budget (CoB) for approval.

The revelations were made by the CoB, who told members of the Senate's Public Investments and Accounts Committee that county officials in the executive plucked out the signed pages from approved budgets and attached them to sham budgets that were then sent for approval.
