Auditor Finds State DOT $456-M In The Red

Some bad news has been delivered to the State Department of Transportation.  

The department has a 456-million-dollar deficit.  

Earlier this month when state auditors were wrapping up their work, the deficit seemed to be on the decline.  

Then, some contract and change orders amounting to 350-million dollars were discovered that had not been entered into the state's accounting system.
