Shad White

State Auditor Shad White speaks of the contents of a 104-page audit of the Mississippi Department of Human Services released Monday, May 4, 2020, that shows how welfare grant funds flowed from DHS into two nonprofits, which then frequently spent the cash in inappropriate or questionable ways, at a news briefing in Jackson, Miss. More than $94 million in welfare money spending was "questioned" by auditors. Some funds were used to buy luxury cars, sponsor a college baseball tournament and hire family members.
