Ep. 153 Tuesday Update: MaineCare Fraud Blowup – Mills vs. Dr. Oz + Maine's Real Crisis with Jon Fetherston
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Jon Fetherston joins Chuck Ellis to dissect Governor Janet Mills' late-Friday response to federal MaineCare probes. Federal audit reveals $46M improper payments for autism services—100% errors in claims. Mills calls it political attack from Trump/Dr. Oz; critics see deflection from rampant fraud, ignored warnings, and taxpayer theft.Discussion covers:
- Imminent federal hammer: Funding cuts, repayments, possible congressional grilling.
- Statewide rot: Drugs on streets, homelessness, crime—while billions wasted.
- Voter blind spots: COVID nostalgia shields Mills; seniors vote, but facts matter.
- Fix starts local: Town agendas, school boards, city councils > DC drama. Don't let distraction win—get informed, involved.
Explosive accountability talk—next week's update could bring federal fireworks. Listen now, then check your local gov site and The Maine Wire.Support the fight: muddywaters.us | themainewire.com
