BOSTON – State welfare fraud investigators uncovered a record $13.7 million in bogus claims in fiscal 2015, according to state Auditor Suzanne Bump.
The amount was up 44 percent from the previous year, Bump told the Legislature's Joint Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday. She said her office's Bureau of Special Investigations will release the details in its 2015 annual report Wednesday.
(CNSNews.com) – Accusing the Obama administration of a new "effort to put daylight between the United States and Israel," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Monday introduced legislation aimed at annulling what he called a "nonsensical" directive on labeling goods produced in the territories disputed between Israel and the Palestinians.
"That directive plays right into the hands of those who are driving insidious efforts to boycott Israeli goods," he said in a statement.
