The report also uncovered six major misuses of funds, including $421K diverted to other agencies, dodgy overtime, tuition reimbursements, and sloppy record-keeping. The office’s overall rating? “Fair”—a red flag for systemic issues. Parson denies wrongdoing, claiming his team fully documented everything and that the report misrepresents his administration’s policies. Meanwhile, current Governor Kehoe’s office insists things are fixed, crediting a new, more accountable staff since January 2023.
