[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there were allegations of criminal malfeasance, fraud or theft on the part of a city employee or contractor the DC Attorney General could take action. But all Patterson's report found was a lot of mismanagement and lack of adherence to best practices. It's galling but not criminal.[/quote] True, the criminal aspect is far from proven, but there's clear misuse of public funds. Mostly local, but I'd guess federal too, since the Department of Ed pays Title I and other funds. Who at the federal level is in charge of fiscalizing stuff like this?[/quote] I'm no lawyer, but there are sins of commission and sins of omission. The money doesn't have to be outright stolen to result in liability for mismanaging public dollars. Having no documented approvals for millions of dollars spent should raise a lot of red flags with the AG.[/quote]
