A review of how the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) spent the money showed stunning levels of corruption that could endanger future federal funding for anti-poverty programs in one of the poorest states in the United States, state auditor Shad White said.
“You see a pretty grotesque example of misspending of taxpayer dollars,” White told reporters at a news conference, when the audit was released on Monday…
The audit shows that two non-profits – the Mississippi Community Education Center and the Family Resource Center of North Mississippi – were the recipients of most of the $94 million it alleges was misspent.
Neither responded to emailed and phoned requests for comment.
Family members of those working at the non-profits were paid lump sums for work that was never detailed – nor carried out, according to the audit .
