More Fraud in This Administration

This time, the EPA.

Increasing fraud and other misconduct at Environmental Protection Agency water quality analysis labs has put all of us at risk for contaminants and disease outbreaks, RAW STORY has learned. However, since the scope and risk cannot be measured, EPA is downplaying the findings.

A Sept. 21 report issued by the EPA Office of Inspector General (OIG) found hundreds of weaknesses—missing data, no log books, falsified measurements—not noted by EPA. The office had found many of the same problems in 1999, and they were identified again by EPA in 2002. EPA did nothing, the report said.

Drinking water and wastewater fraud investigations comprise more than half of all OIG investigations.

Oh yeah? Downplay the findings because there's not enough evidence? There seems to be enough evidence when you don't like something. Here. Here. Etc.
