Jeff, did you ever get a reply from the State Auditor's office for this excellent letter you wrote to them?

I did (happy to forward it to you). It was disappointing, but educational. She warned me, from the beginning, she was only interested in "if the money departed point A and arrived at point B." And it did: it left DOE, and it went to the floodplain restoration. She did not find any language requiring a road, only that it "meet the community's needs." Strangely, she only audited $7M of the $20M, and I don't know why. If we have questions, I wouldn't hesitate to contact the SAO again... she was prompt and patient. Just give me your email if you want to see the report (it's a little dry for the average reader -me-).
