On May 16, 2008, activist Paul Jacob, in his Common Sense publication, shone some light on Commissioner Oberquell's outrage at being audited by the state in the fall of 2007. The exercise was done in order to see how responsive local officials were to requests for public records. According to an article in The Olympian, Oberquell referred to the audit as a "sting operation."[3]
