Your Tax Dollars, Hard At Work At Home And Supervising Nobody

From the Des Moines Register:

The investigation by the Iowa Department of Administrative Services revealed little new information about CIETC but describes a wide variety of problems at Workforce Development.

Among the findings:
• A “quick review of a few personnel files” showed that Workforce Development has been granting pay raises to some employees with no evaluations being completed, which is a violation of state policy.

• One Workforce Development employee, Terry Augustus, earned $75,000 last year as a supervisor although he supervised no employees. Colleagues told investigators that Augustus was a “favorite” of top agency officials who awarded him special pay above his regular salary. Augustus has no defined job duties and works from home.

• The process of filling jobs at Workforce Development lends itself to allegations of favoritism. The agency’s official spokeswoman, Kerry Koonce, was hired in February through a process that included applicant scoring that was “very narrow in its scope, allowing for Koonce to score high” on the test, the report says.

• Job-retention bonuses were handed out to two Workforce Development employees who were entertaining no other job offers at the time and had no intention of leaving the state agency. Those bonuses totaled $15,510.

Fuck who, Political Forecast?

That's right, and your man wants man's staff wanted to cover it all up. I'm talking the same Guv whose spokesperson blamed funding troubles on Federal budget cuts, not wasteful spending.

I'm sure that most or all of these people involved are members of that dirty, stinking, filthy, inbred Democratic Machine in Polk County.

What a culture of corruption.
