OREGON BUSTED!!
This is only the tip of the iceberg
(Sen. Gary George has been SINGULARLY the ONLY legislator over years to arrange Senate hearings for the People to get into the Capitol and make the Record of state and agency abuse. The ONLY one who speaks openly about the fraud, asks relevant questions in their hearings and has paid a severe price being marginalized by compromised fellow legislators who have operated this federal money rendering machine for their own profit all along until now)
THIS IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG..... METHOD AND OPERATION FOR ALL THE AGENCIES AND COURTS, IN THE CORPORATE INTEREST/$$$, NOT THE PEOPLE

Oregonians May Pay For State Medicaid Scam
SALEM - State auditors have told officials of Oregon Department of Human Services that millions in federal dollars earmarked for elderly nursing home patients, and spent on a variety of other state programs, may have to be repaid.
In records obtained by KATU, and expected to be released later this week, The Secretary of State Audits Division concluded that officials of DHS withdrew more money than it should have removed due to "insufficient documentation." At stake, some $244 million dollars that may have to be repaid to the federal government.
"It's a scam - we're scamming the federal government. (and) we may be caught," says Sen. Gary George, of the state's withdrawal of federal monies. "We've been fearful that a time when budgets were tight, may be the time we had to pay the piper for what's gone on in the past."
Beginning in 1999 DHS officials, in concert with several lawmakers and representatives of the nursing home industry began withdrawing tens of millions from the federal government, parking it in the accounts of a nursing home district, then passing it on to a variety of state programs including public instruction.
In a letter to DHS director Jean Thorne, state audi
tors concluded the DHS improperly claimed $244 million beyond what it was entitled to for fiscal years 2001 and 2002. "It's a scam - we're scamming the federal government. (and) we may be caught."

"The problem was that the federal government had put a cap on the withdrawals," one auditor told KATU, "then they kept pulling down ever-increasing amounts."
Officials of the DHS dispute the findings and say attorneys of the Oregon Department of Justice approved the withdrawals. What does that tell you?
They also say that the increasing withdrawal amounts were due to adjustments in formulas used to calculate the Medicare Upper Limit.
But e-mails obtained through the Oregon Public Records law from federal officials to state auditors indicated the state may have improperly inflated baseline funding levels to arrive at the increased dollar amounts.
"We were surprised that the Secretary of State's office is taking what appears to be a very narrow view of this," Thorne told KATU in a story broadcast Monday.
But Thorne admits at least some of the money may have to be repaid.
State Rep. Ben Westlund, who helped create the financing scheme through a Medicaid loophole, says the idea was a "collaboration" during "difficult economic times." The 1990''s? The same old stories aren't washing anymore, are they?
State officials who participated in the scheme considered taking the money to be a grey area of state money use, but technically the considered it legal, especially considering the fact that other states had done it. But state budget watchdogs have cried foul.
