90 D.C. city workers caught in scam collecting unemployment benefits while working (government, million)

[Hwy phantom]

As if having a cushy government job wasn't good enough these workers had to scam the tax payers even more.

Nearly 90 District government employees were placed on leave Monday in a prelude to their potential firing and prosecution after officials determined they had received fraudulent unemployment benefits while holding their city jobs.

It is good that we finally have people in Govt working to clean this kind of thing up. That's been absent for a while.

Who put the stamp of approval on all those forms ?

90 city workers all working for the same city, that's a little different than 90 random people.
