Hey, remember Kim Reynolds, the GOP counter-spokeswoman? - SteveG - 03-04-2022
Kim Reynolds delivered the lying, hate-filled, spamish reply to Biden's State of the Union a few days ago...
Now she's been caught swiping Covid money for her staff salaries.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s state auditor has again called for Gov. Kim Reynolds to return nearly $450,000 in federal coronavirus relief funds that were used to pay for 21 governor’s office staff members for three months in 2020.
Auditor Rob Sand, a Democrat, released a report Tuesday that repeated his recommendation from October 2020 and last December that the funds were improperly used and should be returned.
Sand said in December that the Republican governor not only misspent the federal money but tried to conceal it by passing it through the state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
After that report was released, Sand said he finally received in December a 159-page packet of information he had sought repeatedly from the governor’s office to justify use of federal pandemic emergency money for her staff’s salaries.
After reviewing the documentation, he said his recommendation to return the $448,448 remains the same.
The governor’s staff salaries had already been considered in creating her budget prior to the pandemic, making them ineligible for payment out of the federal pandemic relief money, he said. Reynolds paid salaries for 21 staff members — including her spokesman, a lawyer and her chief of staff — from March 15 to June 30, 2020, out of federal funds.

A nation of laws run by old white men unwilling to hold their own accountable to them when it serves their fading agenda... What do they call that?
