MONTPELIER (AP) >> Vermont is applying a fresh round of scrutiny to its contract with Jonathan Gruber, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology health economist who got into hot water for talking about what he called "the stupidity of the American voter."
Vermont State Auditor Doug Hoffer has been reviewing the contract under which Gruber got paid $500 an hour and his assistants got $100 per hour. Hoffer said Friday Gruber provided insufficient documentation to support his invoices to the state.
Hoffer said officials in Gov. Peter Shumlin's administration had been in close touch with Gruber throughout his work, but that the contract called for detailed documentation of the work, and Gruber didn't deliver that.
"We know what was done; it's not like the work wasn't done. But the invoices ... provided no detail at all. That's more my focus," said Hoffer, who is in his second two-year term and who runs under both the Progressive Party and Democratic labels.

Under scrutiny??? The man admitted he committed fraud. He did more than admit it, he extolled it. If extolled is a word.
I bet it’s “under scrutiny”
Just like Lois Lerner has been under scrutiny. Pfft...these assholes will never be punished. And it will continue.
One of these days someone is going to ask to see these mysterious "assistants". I'm betting this crook was billing his idiot customers for everyone but the janitor and was pocketing it for himself. I'm thinking a little Gruber-Audit is well past due.

If American voters really were as stupid as Gruber thought, why did he and Obama have to work so hard to trick us?
