In yet another disgraceful case of federal corruption, a former United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) official has pleaded guilty to a years-long kickback scheme that bilked taxpayers out of nearly $400,000.

Kirk Perry, 60, of Lorain, Ohio, who once held a position of trust as a USDA Program Director

Not a surprise. Bilking taxpayers is what their expertise is.

$400,000 over 8 years is nothing compared to the fraud that’s within the government and contracts….

“Trust” is a strong word. KOs are much more trustworthy, this dude could just sign off on work done.

Also, they caught him and charged him, so shouldn’t really be a media story unless it’s his local news

$50,000/year in fraud is not national news worthy…

It's 400K and everybody should know. Why do you not want this to get out?

$400K here, $650K there, and pretty soon, you're talking about real money.
How many others are doing the same thing?

You're right. Veterans that never saw a battlefield but have PTSD get about that much a year.

Tip of the iceberg. Now let’s see his voter party affiliation. (Might be informative on why there’s no reporting)
