He Ain't Heavy He's The President's Brother
I feel like shit today. I feel like I should have been 3 sheets to the wind last night and in my bed with one arm holding onto one of the bedposts for dear life. So here is a quickie.
Florida Told to Repay $517 Million in Excess Contributions
HHS Inspector General Janet Rehnquist, the daughter of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, is under fire from members of Congress for alleged professional misconduct, announced last week that she will leave the IG post June 1
According to a draft report of the audit findings, federal officials have recommended that Florida repay the $517 million in excess contributions or accept reduced future federal contributions to the pension fund until the overcharge is made up
An audit of a Florida state government pension fund was delayed last year while Gov. Jeb Bush (R) was seeking reelection.
The Florida audit was delayed at least three times at the request of state officials as Bush prepared for what appeared to be a tough reelection fight. The delays in starting the audit were allegedly designed to shield the Florida governor, President Bush's brother, from any embarrassing findings until after the election
One of the documents was an internal HHS e-mail that said that, before the initial delay in starting the audit, a draft report of the findings was expected by Sept. 30, more than a month before the Nov. 5 election.
Does anyone have any doubts, that Janet Rehnquist will find herself a real nice job in the private sector. perhaps a Rebublican private sector?
