Mississippi auditor demands payments in human services fraud

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The Mississippi auditor said Tuesday that he is demanding repayment of $77 million in misspent welfare money in one of the poorest states in the nation. This includes $828,000 the auditor is seeking from retired NFL player Brett Favre and an employee of his business, Favre Enterprises.

The initial allegations of misspending came to light in early 2020 when former Mississippi Department of Human Services executive director John Davis and five other people were indicted in one of the state's largest public corruption cases, which the auditor characterized then as “a sprawling conspiracy."

Favre is not facing any criminal charges, but Auditor Shad White said in May 2020 that the former Green Bay Packers quarterback, who lives in Mississippi, had repaid $500,000 of the $1.1 million in welfare money he received for multiple speeches for which he did not show up. The demand Tuesday is for the $600,000 balance, plus $228,000 in interest.

White issued the demands about two weeks after a Maryland-based CPA firm issued an independent report about how the Mississippi Department of Human Services spent federal money from 2016 through 2019 through Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. The report found nearly $41 million in “questioned costs" for items including travel and programs to support college athletes.

5. I've read that years ago, so...

He is not close with family members because of personal reasons, so what, neither am I or millions of others that might not want to break the bread regularly with people you might not get along with although you are related.

Maybe he didn't go to his grandfather's funeral, people greive in different ways or handle their personal lives in different ways. My husband hasn't been close to his brothers for a decade, he has his reasons but it's not on the five o'clock news.

Celebrities are people that have personal lives, not unlike you or I. He's not taking money from the poor to benefit his self like other scumbags, that should serve jail time.
