Statistics cited in the audit show a precipitous drop in targeted inspections and underage compliance in the fiscal year beginning in July 2020 — when the pandemic was upending day-to-day society — and that they haven’t quite recovered to pre-pandemic levels.“I’m glad that (auditors) pointed the finger at the department in that they dropped the ball,” state Sen.
