Melissa in the Morning: Inappropriate Spending

Melissa in the Morning: Inappropriate Spending

A UConn professor allegedly spent tens of thousands of university funding to cover 19 trips in a two-year span. From trips to Disneyworld to Ireland, this professor reportedly disguised the trips as research-based trips, and no one caught it until now. It reminds me of the findings of a CSCU investigation on inappropriate spending conducted by Comptroller Sean Scanlon. We spoke with him about ways to avoid inappropriate spending at the university level moving forward. We also touched on a potential child tax credit in CT as well as more proposed benefits for rideshare drivers.
