Favre is just the public face of the scandal. Mississippi officials have stolen about 94 million dollars of federal funds intended to go to programs for people people. 1 out of 5 people in Mississippi live in poverty. 28% of the kids. It’s one of the poorest states. Yet only 1% of the people qualified to get federal TANF dollars actually get it, because Mississippi has added so many difficult hoops people have to jump through to actually get the money (Georgia does the same thing). Poor people don’t bother to apply, the odds of actually getting approved for any are so low. So Mississippi has plenty of that federal money to divert over into a variety of special projects. 94 million dollars. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/09/27/brett-favre-mississippi-welfare/So it turns out some of the US states act like those third world or severely corrupt countries. Are these folks ever prosecuted or jailed on federal charges?

Apparently a lot of federal money was diverted to other projects from Jackson Mississippi's water supply.

Quote from the Welfare Queen It's about Title 9 and his constitutional rights I totally support Title IX. In fact, I have benefitted from it. However, I do not support using funds allocated to relieve poverty to build a volleyball stadium, you dope.
