A food stamp caseworker in Massachusetts took home $348,534 last year. That is almost double what her own commissioner makes. The agency says most of it was union backpay. Fine. Now explain the rest of it. 597 employees at Maura Healey's Department of Transitional Assistance made over $100,000. That is 29% of the entire agency. Overtime has already hit $16.48 million this year, up from $13.1 million last year. So what are taxpayers getting for all that money? A 12% SNAP error rate. The state auditor found $10.6 million in benefits fraud in six months, and the state has clawed back about 2.7% of it. Healey's own former aide allegedly lived on food stamps while vacationing at Disney World. DTA never caught it. The feds did, after reading it in the Boston Herald. Now Massachusetts could owe Washington hundreds of millions in penalties because it can't run the program straight. Healey still refuses to hand SNAP data to the Trump administration. Fat paychecks. Zero accountability. Massachusetts taxpayers deserve their money back.
