Inspector General finds the state of California approved free phone and internet service for more than 94,000 dead people
New report from the Federal Communications Commission
81% of the fraud nationwide for this program comes from California
“California misused $3.8 million in federal funds meant for low income Americans so that deceased Americans could have free internet. Of all the fraud found in this program, 81% came from California.
Due to our state's proven lack of management and leadership expertise, the FCC has now revoked California's authority to manage this program”
“Your tax dollars at work, folks”
