Chuck Ellis and investigative journalist Jon Fetherston of The Maine Wire give a Tuesday update on fraud and corruption in Maine government. After President Trump called out Maine on fraud, Jon describes visiting home health offices billing MaineCare that he says sat empty, and federal audits flagging autism-care billing.
They also discuss the Gateway Community Services scandal, why fraud is theft from every taxpayer, Nirav Shah’s college and down-payment proposals, the lasting effects of COVID lockdowns, and why they think the Maine GOP lost a winnable seat in the Lewiston special election.
