The man who was poised to become chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside directed $450,000 in federal grant money to a non-existent organization he used to be involved with, according to documents from the University of Louisville." JS Online: UW-Parkside chancellor choice Felner won grants, didn’t account for use


$200,000 to the National Center on Public Education and Prevention Inc.

$250,000 to the same organization for training and survey products.


Oh, did you catch this!

National Center on Public Education and Prevention Inc. doesn’t exist — not anymore.


And this.

He also collaborated with Thomas Schroeder, who used to be listed as president of the National Center on Public Education and Prevention, on two grants totaling $3.4 million from 1990 to 1999.


And This!

spent $598,000of the No Child Left Behind grant.


All this money gone, spent and nobody knows what happened.Does anyone care? Read the whole article to get the full story of this example of government waste.

The bottom line, this corruption, over paying, waste by our government happens all the time. And what does the average person in this country thinks about this?

Nothing! One, they don't care, two, most don't know. Our politicians are voting all the time to fill somebody's pockets and leave their constituents holding the bag. Children aren't being educated, we need more money. Voting no means no band, no football, no girls basketball in school. Use compact lights or the planet is doomed. We need to reduce the speed limit to 55. Why? No we cannot drill in ANWR, it would take 10 years to get one drop of oil. We have to mandate ethanol as the corn farmers and ethanol plant owners take bags of our money to their banks.

The time people will care is when they will wait for months for health care. Fill their compact cars with $6.00 gasoline. Pay $5.00 for a loaf of bread. Our politicians brag about what program they got for their district and who is paying for it? The tax payer

Here is a local grant from the Green Bay P G. Why, do we really need to study bed rock in Green Bay? $109,000 grant helps fund study of area bedrock Could we spend that money better? God forbid maybe not spend it at all? Saving money isn't cool in Washington.

This happens all the time and most don't see, don't know and don't care. The last 50 years people have been so brainwashed and have become dependent on government it just makes you sick.

So who's fault is all this? To most ,"I don't know, happens all the time,no big deal, pass the sweet corn.
