Another $1 Billion of Taxpayer Money Down the Government Rathole
Yesterday’s Indianapolis Star reported on an audit by the Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General. The newspaper said that “(m)ismanagement of a $1 billion technology contract by the Transportation Security Administration resulted in the expenditure of the entire budget long before all of the needed computer and telephone equipment was installed . . . The $1 billion was supposed to be enough to finance the project through 2009, the audit said, but most of the money ran out this year before many projects were complete . . . The audit found that much of the work on the contract proceeded without normal oversight.” And these government bureaucrats want pay raises? Sheesh! [Hat Tip to Virginia News Source]
