Mainecat Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Millions in Mississippi welfare funds misused on vehicles, concert tickets, and Brett Favre: audit Source: The Hill An audit released Monday by Mississippi's state auditor found that officials had misused millions of federal dollars intended for the state's neediest families. The report, from Mississippi's Office of the State Auditor, found that $94 million in total could either not be accounted for or had been spent on questionable purposes, more than 90 percent of what the state has received over the last three years. The report is part of the largest investigation into misuse of welfare funds in state history and has already resulted in the arrest of the Mississippi Department of Human Services' former head, John Davis, in February. The money came as part of the federally-funded Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, which provided state officials $98 million over the last three years to be distributed at officials' discretion to state programs and nonprofit groups supposed to help Mississippi's poor. Nearly all of that money was misused, according to the audit. One of the prime beneficiaries of the misused money, according to the audit, was Nancy New, the founder of a chain of private schools who used the funds to pay a speeding ticket and received as much as $6 million from the program, which her family used for a wide range of purposes including the purchase of three trucks.
