While this story comes from across the pond, there’s no doubt in my mind that we’ll be hearing more and more stories like this here at home.

Anyone who’s ever read my posts knows how much I hate government waste. The only thing I hate more than the government hemorrhaging money is the lack of oversight and accountability to the taxpayers.
