You act like Illinois is at all alone in those rates of fraud.

Not to defend Illinois but there were a lot of states in on this obscene party.

IIRC, California confirmed last year it was closer to 2/3...that they knew of.

Here’s a very early estimate from when they thought it might be 10%. (still many Billions, for just one type)

Fraud article from last year.

And this is before you even get to the funds directed to Democrat-allied political groups.

Arranged kickback to the Mob for their political support.

Bingo. And the politicians got their kickbacks to be sure.

That’s nuttin.

NYS makes IL look like a piker.

Heck, the state was allowing at least one major metro to use CoupFlu funds for sidewalk shoveling.

SNORT.

Yikes! “Illinois’s inspector general reports that the level of fraud it experienced was “unprecedented” and amounted to more than $1.8 billion lost.”
