revealed a $140 million deticit and improper P-card use (e.g., $19,000 dry
cleaning, $10,000 meals/alcohol by executives), described as "troubling
gaps" and "tone-deaf" but with no criminal referrals or enforcement
actions. September 2024 Social Equity Council audit found
mismanagement and delays in cannabis grants, confirming "no direct
evidence of criminal wrongdoing" despite ethics gaps.
A B® Medicaid Overruns and Funding Gaps: FY2025 Medicaid (HUSKY)
program overrun reached $210 million, requiring $284 million in
supplemental appropriations, amid $300 million in broader cuts/delays
affecting waivers for acquired brain injuries (ABI), autism, Down syndrome,
cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and developmental disabilities
(DD). These serve 900,000+ low-income residents, with no reported
provider investigations despite rebate-based "savings" of $77 million.
@ Reported Federal Grant Diversions: Whistleblower filings (e.g.,
November 10, 2025 FBI tip) allege a $17 million no-bid ARPA contract to
Semad4 diverted funds from ABI/DD waivers, prioritizing corporate entities
over direct family supports, in violation of ARPA guidelines for COVID-
impacted vulnerable populations. OSE Opinion 2019-2 notes ethics gaps in
recusals; CHRO complaints 2510183/84 were reportedly suppressed,
potentially breaching Anti-Kickback Statute (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b) and
Medicaid Free Choice Rule (42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(23)).
S Asset Losses and Reporting Delays: October 2025 annual loss report
documented $8.8 million in state agency asset losses (original cost basis).
March 2025 audit flagged errors and missed deadlines in OSC financial
reports, including a 536-day lag in self-audits, contributing to opacity in
tracking federal inflows like ARPA ($2.8 billion total pass-through).
<¢ Suppressed Whistleblower Tips: Public tips (e.g., X posts on Sema4/ABI
diversions) and FOIA denials (e.g., November 9, 2025 OSE request for 2019
recusal list rejected as "no records," appealed November 11) indicate
patterns of non-response, potentially under CT Whistleblower Act (CGS
§4-61dd) protections, with no OSC escalations to AG or federal bodies.
Broader Systemic Exposure: $4.1 billion state surplus reported alongside
service cuts (e.g., stalled housing/childcare for high-risk groups, SNAP risks
in shutdowns) and national Medicaid threats ($880 billion cuts),
highlighting unaddressed conflicts in a Democratic trifecta where the
Comptroller's office audits but lacks prosecutorial authority.
