of following federal funds is something we all do as inspectors general. to do something that is important to do and i know from talking with the ig at the labor department, how much of a challenge it has been because of the decentralized nature of the unemployment insurance system that has been set up, created by congress and through administrative actions over long periods of time and the importance of reforming those is something that is worthwhile and significant that we have seen here, the need to do. rep. malliotakis: thank you for the work you do. i think it is incredibly important that we get to the bottom, and learn from the process, how do we fix it? too much money is being wasted. when people are truly in need of it or programs are truly in need of it, new york, california, illinois, it was reported that there were 12 states that used covid relief money that was supposed to be used three open schools, and it somehow shifted to equity, implicit bias training, critical race theory. are you aware of that?
