State Auditor's report finds millions of misspent funds by agencies
SUMMARY: A report by Mississippi State Auditor Shad White has uncovered millions of dollars in misspent funds across 13 state agencies, including the Department of Education and the Division of Medicaid. The initiative, called Project Momentum, aims to save taxpayers over $335 million by identifying inefficiencies and eliminating unnecessary services. White plans to apply methodologies from national experts to improve government efficiency and will focus on smaller agencies, such as the Institutions of Higher Learning, in the future. His office seeks to enhance fiscal responsibility in the state administration over the next several years.
