Shannon Sharpe re: Brett Favre "You have to be a sorry **** to steal from the underserved"
It is stealing TAXPAYERS money. The government has no money, it is all taken from someone else.
It’s also building real property with state money that the taxpayers still own.
This is being built as state property.
Funds were just diverted.
Basically it’s illegal to take funds that are appropriated for one thing and divert to another.
It sounds like someone pitched the idea to Favre that if he did these engagements, they could pay him out of these pots of money and he could give that money to school for the court.
So Favre isn’t getting paid anything for his speaking engagements. It sounds like once they had it executed, the follow through on the engagements didn’t keep up.
Huey Long did something similar when he used funds for dormitories to build Tiger Stadium.
No one stole anything from poor people. They just jumped around the budget.
I don’t see how Favre is responsible in any way (legally) for which funding codes are used to build state property.
