Funds for a job and skills training program to benefit those released from prison as they made the transition from incarceration to productive members of society were instead used to benefit this politician and her family.
In this instance, a grant was obtained for a class on how to upholstery. A sign-in sheet revealed that attendees of this class included not only the politician in question but almost every other attendee had the same last name as this politician. In addition, an very expensive sewing machine was purchased with funds from this grant; whereabouts of the machine is unknown.
When confronted by the reporter about this, the politician said, "It's government money. It's not like I was taking it from anyone."
Friends, this problem is widespread. These politicians don't realize, or don't care, that 'government money' is OUR money!
