Breaking: Someone tried to sneak $300,000 in state funds to a company involved in the long-running Mississippi welfare scandal. Senators caught the line item minutes before final vote, halting budget negotiations at the end of the 2023 session.

by Geoff Pender and Anna Wolfe, Mississippi Today March 31, 2023 The Senate, minutes before a final vote on a $3 billion K-12 education budget Friday, realized it included paying $300,000 to a company the state has filed charges against and is suing to recoup $795,000 in the long-running Mississippi welfare scandal. The budget proposal would have ordered the state education department to pay $300,000 to Lobaki Inc. for a pilot virtual reality program for schools.
