Audit: Texas Improperly Spent Terror Funds

Sat Jan 8,10:17 AM ET


AUSTIN, Texas - An audit of the state's spending of nearly $600 million in federal anti-terrorism funds found that some of the money was spent improperly, including to buy a trailer that was used to haul lawn mowers to "lawn mower drag races."



The state auditor's office pointed out several cases in which poor monitoring by the Texas Engineering Extension Service may have allowed abuse.


One county bought 18 radios and other communication equipment from a company owned by one of its county commissioners, according to the report released Thursday. Another jurisdiction used a trailer ostensibly bought as emergency equipment to haul lawn mowers to races, the report says.


State auditors have forwarded the case to their special investigation unit, which handles fraud, abuse and other criminal allegations.


The audit's findings mirror some of the weaknesses identified in a September report by The Dallas Morning News. The newspaper found that some cities used anti-terrorism funds to buy equipment for traffic stops, drug investigations and even community festivals.


The extension service said it agreed with many of the auditor's recommendations but that overall it had done an excellent job overseeing grants. It has begun requiring some grant recipients to report how they use equipment.

The scary part was Maggie Thatcher saying if you want a truthful account of Gov't/Politics , watch that show , its totally accurate
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was so taken by the Yes Minister series, that she wrote a sketch herself (together with her Press Secretary Bernard Ingham). In it she played the Prime Minister, Paul Eddington was playing Jim Hacker (Minister of the Department for Administrative Affairs) and Nigel Hawthorne played Sir Humphrey (Permanent Secretary of the Department for Administrative Affairs). It was played on the National Viewers and Listeners Awards 1984. Below is the script of this sketch and some excerpts in RealVideo.
