How about not saying she has taken steps to improve accountability. How saying this person is no longer employeed and she cant discuss personnel matters. Dishonest people need to be unemployed. If Wos cant handle the heat--please get out of the kitchen.

skmedlin79 there is a method to their madness. They make you fill out all the duplicate forms hoping you will make a mistake. Once you make an error they deny all of your benefits, hoping you will just go away. It's been that way for years.

Is this not crazy! Part of the "system problem" is in most counties in NC they do everything by hand and want little data entry that is done is not entered into any type of common database where current information could be obtained. Example if you fill out something for food stamps and then apply for Medicaid or Energy Assistance you have re-submit everything over and over even if its the same. In the office I was in today they don't even have one folder for each family where its all filed together. They even make you go back into the waiting room and wait again for the next thing you need, no one is cross trained... I think the system is definitely BROKEN. Think of all the computers and software that could have been bought & new jobs they could have created with what they paid out in Overtime "by accident". Anyways, that's my two cents...

Fire them.

When something wrong has been found regardless of the method action should be taken. I don't think medicaid is over budget because of helping the poor. Medicaid is over budget because the money is spent before any benefits are paid.

HA.... You all missed it. Angie Sligh was given a raise to make sure when the overtime ended she got a higher base. 25% raise. Who kept that lady on the failed projects...at high pay...Lanier Cansler and Dan Stewart.

Take that you politically haters we are all one for If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us. - Hermann Hesse

"Department officials declined to say whether any action has been taken against Sligh or any of the other employees who were paid overtime, saying the audit was about policies and procedures, not individuals."

Sounds like government speak for not wanting to call out individuals for fear they'll spill ALL the beans.

Just as a reminder the Director of the Office of Minority Health was put through the ringer for mismanagement. Double standard?

Angie Sligh...don't think the name could get any more ironic than that.
