State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement.
Today
State Auditor Shad White announced that Special Agents from his office
have served Management & Training Corporation (MTC) with a civil
demand totaling nearly $2 million after the company failed to
follow the terms of its contract to operate the Mississippi Department
of Corrections (MDOC) facility in Marshall County. The total demand
amount—$1,991,774.10—includes interest and investigative costs.
As
part of its contract to operate the MDOC prison in Marshall County, MTC
developed minimum mandatory staffing levels to ensure the safety of
inmates and prison staff. The Auditor’s investigation
revealed MTC failed to appropriately notify and credit MDOC when its
staffing levels at the Marshall County facility fell below the minimum
amount required by the contract. The Auditor’s demand accounts for
nearly 12,000 unfilled mandatory shifts at the Marshall
County facility from 2017 to 2020.
“This
is one of the larger demands we’ve issued in my time in office. Our
investigators have proven we will take on the biggest cases down to the
smallest to protect taxpayer dollars,” said Auditor
White. “We look forward to a swift recovery of these funds.”
If
MTC does not make payment on the demand within 30 days, the case will
be transmitted to the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office for
litigation.
Suspected fraud can be reported to the Auditor’s office online at any time by clicking the red button at www.osa.ms.gov or via telephone during normal business hours at 1-(800)-321-1275.

Thats a crime-
Seems like Howdie Doodie caught a big fish this time!
But, what about Bryant and Favre in 3..2..1
Is this some of that "low hanging fruit" you cynics have been posting about?
Go Shad!
How much of that "salary savings" greased some political/bureaucrat palms?
Nice to see Shad’s family posting here. Any idea why he thought governor shit for brains was a whistleblower?
But what about Bryant farve and tator tot
Way to go, Shad!
State malfeasance isn't his thing. That's the Comptroller's responsibility....oh, wait - Mississippi doesn't even have a Comptroller of the Currency! Why is that?
Chris Epps and Cecil McCrory might like this post...if they had internet access!
Shad wasn't even Auditor when someone left this money on the table?
Was it Pickering before he got his Veteran's Affairs gravy train golden ticket?
This here is still low hanging fruit though.
State already collected more than $5 illion from these folks for the Epps dealings, and still kept doing business with them!
Lawyers will take a look see and Errybody will get paid!
Quote from press release:"...have proven we will take on the biggest cases down to the smallest...". Biggest? Wrong adjective. Your press release from not so long ago announced your uncovering of the biggest fraud in the state's history. And nothing from Shad except excuses.
@1:21 - What the hell would be the value of a State Comptroller of The Currency. Currency is not a state matter. I remember when Mississippi had a State Bank Comptroller, a total waste of taxpayer dollars - funding that position.
@11:50 - Your presence, although a bit late, was anticipated.
Another self report from an agency MDOC this time that Shat is trying to steal credit
