DSHS: Inhaling 1/3 of Washington State's Budget-Your Money

DSHS: Will the Washington State Shrew Again Remain Untamed? | Washington State Business Wire

Cutting to the chase. Well said by William W. Larson, publisher of Washington State Business Wire:

"DSHS has become an agency of state government in which fraud and mismanagement are commonplace; where layers upon layers of managers and bean-counters feed off the lifeblood of taxpayers while building their fiefdoms and management silos to hide their shame."

DSHS was created in 1970. One of the creators Marilyn Ward wrote in 1976 that it almost immediately began to fail. We live yet with that failure. Well some didn't live...children. Now 42 years later....

We shall see what candidates for governor, Attorney General, Rob McKenna and Congressman, Jay Inslee are going to do in the campaign season about this state government agency. In their opening campaigns speeches they each only devoted about 12% to the problems of state government.

It is about the management. DSHS claiming it's about the money is not true.
