“Politicians, If you want to lead by example, part of the game is being brutally honest about what is productive and real versus politically correct, immaterial and fear-based. Politics is calling for warriors. Step up and tell the truth with civility; people are starving for it.”  TMS                   from Myspace Archives
Future Leaders are problem solvers: Unafraid of any issue or person

In 2007, Auditor Salmon and other State Auditors, regardless of party affiliation,
fostered a concerted effort to breed awareness of the fiscal impacts of legislative
actions. Auditor Salmon testified in Montpelier on the fiscal impact of potential
decisions such as paying Bennington Sick Building claims under Workers Comp.  
Auditor Salmon met with David M. Walker, former Comptroller General of the
Government Accountability Office who preached loudly that the US is on an
unsustainable path we can neither grow or tax our way out of.

In 2008, Auditor Salmon successfully restructured the State Auditor's Office to
have true performance audit capacity in accordance with Generally Accepted
Government Auditing Standards. Governmental organizations at the federal, state
and local levels have found that a commitment to fact-based measurement of
performance can have significant benefits. Such "increased financial
communication" can provide critical insight into whether specific programs or
activities merit additional funding, deserve less funding, elimination, or have their
actions directed to more fruitful lines.
