The most famous son is Kiln. He is linked to a welfare scandal that affects the needy in a state with the highest poverty rate. There is a time and a place for it.
In a statement given to Fox News Digital, it was stated that he has done nothing wrong and has been "smeared" in the media.
The statement was published by Fox News Digital. It is time for me to set the record straight.
I didn't know that funds for welfare recipients were going to the University or me. The University of Southern Mississippi is a public Mississippi state university. I want to improve the athletic facilities at my university.
The TANF funds were diverted from the poor to the rich in Mississippi. Five of the six people arrested in the case have pleaded guilty. A civil lawsuit has been filed by the state against the football player.
His alma mater, Southern Miss, received $5 million in TANF money, which was transferred from the Department of Human Services to a nonprofit and then to the USM's Athletic Foundation, according to the audit. The wellness center was built on the campus. When his daughter was on the volleyball team, the quarterback pushed for funding for a facility.
State agencies provided the funds to Nancy New's charity, the Mississippi Community Education Center, which then gave the funds to the University, all with the full knowledge and approval of other State agencies.
The legal work to make sure that the funds could be accepted by the university was done by State employees.
According to the state audit and a civil lawsuit, the auditor says that Favre never made any speeches. The state is trying to get $228,000 in interest from him.
Eric Herschmann said that he never got paid for a no show appearance. The true facts are not known by anyone who claims otherwise. He said the ex-quarterback was paid for every radio spot that was requested.
Herschmann could not be reached for comment on the matter.
Prevacus, a company that is developing a concussion drug, received TANF funds according to the audit.
The welfare case was replaced with Herschmann, a former White House lawyer, according to reports. According to Herschmann, Favre had no idea that welfare funds were being used.
According to text messages made public in the civil lawsuit, New was asked if the media could find out where the money came from. New has been convicted of fraud.
After being told by the governor that he wouldn't be getting money, he continued to press for it. Texts show that Phil Bryant might be in violation of the law.
According to the state audit, New's nonprofit agreed to a sublease with the university's athletic foundation for a multi-purpose wellness center on the University's campus. He was on the board of the Athletic Foundation.
"If we lease this volleyball court using TANF funds, the way we'll justify it is the court will be used as the sort of wellbeing center for the community," White has said. The TANF funds were used in an improper manner.
The Department of Human Services was run by John Davis. State and federal investigators are still looking into the case, according to the district attorney.
