The level of corruption amonst the GOP's leadership is just unbelievable. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, a company owned by Minnesota GOP Chairman Ron Carey is under investigation by the state's AG for bilking millions out of the state
Minnesota's largest autism center may have overbilled the state more than $3 million for medical assistance, according to a report by the Minnesota attorney general's office. The center was chaired at the time by Ron Carey, who is now chairman of the state Republican Party.
The center allegedly billed the state for treatment that wasn't performed and double-billed services for children, and the Department of Human Services (DHS) paid the excessive charges, the report said. One former state prosecutor has recommended an audit of the department to examine its reimbursement practices.
The state attorney general's office reviewed two dozen cases in the autism program and found $865,000 in excessive charges in 2004 and 2005. The improper reimbursements to the entire program for those years could exceed $3.4 million, the office said in a lengthy report obtained by the newspaper.
So, we have the state's GOP chair in charge of a company that bilked Minnesota taxpayers out of over $3 million.
So, you might ask, where are the feds on this issue? Well, look at this nugget...
U.S. Attorney Rachel Paulose declined to comment on the case Thursday.
The real issue here is entitlement. These folks believe that the levers of government exist not to benefit the public, but for their own personal gain.
