Easily becoming the worst Administration in Wisconsin history.
State regulators pumped $25,132 more in taxpayer money this week into the pockets of Latasha Jackson, the day care provider who bought a Jaguar convertible and built a million-dollar mansion in Menomonee Falls - all while officials ignored red flags that she was conning the system for more than a decade.
Now get this:
"There's no impropriety there," said Laurice Lincoln, administrative coordinator for child care for Milwaukee County "They didn't do anything wrong."
This week's payment was for child care that Jackson reportedly provided the week before her license was revoked, said Angela Russell, a spokeswoman for the Department of Children and Families.
A new computer program launched on Monday would have prevented the payment, Russell said. But because the dates of care were for August, Jackson's case fell under the old system. As it was, there was no red flag to stop the payment, she said.
THERE WERE HALF A DOZEN NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, DUMMY!!
"This is what we're trying to fix," she said. "If it happened as of this week, we would be able to click a button and she would not have gotten anything," she said.
Russell also blamed the problem, in part, on Milwaukee County and said if workers there had entered the $103,000 overpayment into the computer system sooner, the state would at least have been able to keep 50% of Tuesday's payment.
THERE WERE HALF A DOZEN NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, DUMMY!!!
Doyle's Department of Corrections "forgets" to collect DNA from 12,000++ prisoners.
Certainly Doyle's DCS could "forget" to issue a check to a known fraudster?
Nope. Incompetence rules.
