密歇根新闻广播 密歇根出现失业津贴欺诈事件

 

After wrongly accusing tens of thousands of people in Michigan of cheating on their unemployment benefits, the state is refunding¹ $21 million to those Michiganders.

Attorney Jennifer Lord said that number is just “a drop in the bucket” of what the state has taken from those people, while Director of the Talent Investment Agency Wanda Stokes said the agency would do better in communicating with citizens and handling unemployment claims.

Amidst all of this, Zach Gorchow of Gongwer News Service has noted² a conspicuous³ silence from one very important voice: Governor Rick Snyder.

A blog post Gorchow wrote compared Snyder’s reaction to the Flint water crisis to how he’s reacted to this unemployment fraud debacle.

“Once the Flint water crisis was well known and began to really explode, the governor was pretty out front on things – maybe slightly haltingly at first,” Gorchow said today on Stateside. “But once the report came down that it was really the Department of Environmental Quality’s fault … he went before editorial boards, he was holding news conferences and making himself available to, you know, get personally involved.”

To compare, Snyder has said "very little” about the unemployment fraud situation, Gorchow said.
