Democrats in Michigan are caught up in a $5 billion fraud scheme that was siphoning taxpayer dollars
The scheme was uncovered by House republicans
The accusations, which have sparked outrage, center on the discovery of more than 4,000 fake “phantom jobs” allegedly used to siphon taxpayer dollars into nonexistent programs, questionable gender surgeries for prisoners, and dubious “arts and culture” grants.
House GOP investigators claim to have identified the thousands of fake job positions created to justify budget allocations that never materialized into actual employment.
Critics argue this was a deliberate tactic to funnel public money back to Democrats, bypassing accountability and oversight.
This as multiple claims come in over fiscal mismanagement under Democrat control – led by Governor Gretchen Whitmer – with the Michigan state budget ballooning to over $82 billion—the largest in its history.
