Spending, personnel questions dog Wisconsin vets agency
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The agency that administers benefits for Wisconsin veterans is facing questions about its management and spending at a time when thousands of veterans are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
The board that oversees the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs has asked legislative auditors to investigate the management of several programs, including its two nursing homes for veterans in King and Union Grove.
Board Chairman Marv Freedman says he has concerns about the department’s operations, but he wants the audit so he can know whether they are well-founded.
The request comes as investigators in the public integrity unit at the Wisconsin Department of Justice review more than $800,000 in unauthorized spending at the King home.

If it can be stated "$800 000 in unauthorized spending" there can be little doubt of mismanagement. Either that or the quote is wrong.
