Well, my state (NY) is in the news again but I'm not sure it's how we'd like to be newsworthy. I heard the story on the radio this morning. Wonder how many other states will have similar news when they audit their books?

An example of government inefficiency and waste. Now, of course we have to waste more government money investigating the why, who, how, where, and the number of boners behind this thing. In the end, of course, the mistake will not be corrected. YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK.

Yep...I am pretty sure that this country's gonna burn.
I mean...that's just plain stupid that loopholes like that exist and go unnoticed. Reminds me of the loophole that the courts found only recently that if you are in a car and hit a person...and you have a passenger with you that has a license...you can ask your passenger to get behind the wheel and drive away...and therefore the crime could not be called a "hit-and-run. But I digress. By the way, that law has been fixed now I think, so don't go trying it. |

It has apparently been going on for five years (at least!) but what I'm wondering, is what actually prompted the audit of that type of information? And why not sooner?
