Oregon’s $29 Million “Oops”

According to Grant County’s Blue Mountain Eagle, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), made a “calculation error” in payments to foster homes for the mentally ill that resulted in overpayments of $29 million of your tax dollars.

And for this little oversight we award OHA our Golden Fleece Award for government waste.

We’re silly (crazy?) enough to wonder if anyone will be held accountable. We know if we’d ever made a $29 million “calculation error” in our jobs we’d have very soon been testing the magic of the marketplace as we pounded the pavement looking for new work.
