The smartest thing to do, if it turns out to have excess cash, is dump $1.8 billion in debt.

Smell like a slush fund they lost track of.

from where? Two words: Hun Ter

Do I hear reparations?

[Ge0ffrey]

That’s a good problem to have.t

"Me! Me! Me! I lost only a million of that 1.8 billion."

[monkeyshine]

I did some work for the state and forgot to cash the check.

[Adder]

Ok...ok...I’ll take it.

No need to thank me...

Least I can do...

[Bonemaker]

Give it back to taxpayers.

‘“It does not inspire confidence. But the good news is no money was lost,” Republican Gov. Henry McMaster said.’

Sorry but how does he know that? The finances are so messed up, they have no idea where money is coming from or where money is going. $1.8 billion is not chump change.

My guess: It’s a bribe to be disbursed by the ‘rats to those who do as they’re told regarding how the ballots are handled in the coming election.

As it was said in office space(paraphrased) “i screwed upwith the decimal point.” Any one need a red stapler?

Apparently, when the state switched computer systems in 2010, no one checked to make sure all state banking accounts “came over” to the new system. No one noticed. It seems that there would have been someone’s job to notice. That in itself is concerning. In 2010 the state was probably still getting written statements each month. However, even if not, it should have been someone’s job to download monthly statements for each state account and have the department in charge of those funds reconcile those with their records. That such a thing wasn’t done sounds suspicious to me.

It must have fallen out of my pocket.
