Audit: N.J. daycare program could be wasting millions of dollars
New
Jersey could be wasting millions of dollars a year on its subsidized
child care program for thousands of working poor families by overpaying
day care providers and failing to catch parents lying about their
income, according to an audit state Comptroller Matthew Boxer released
today.
The
comptroller’s team found glaring problems with the oversight of the
N.J. Cares for Kids day care assistance program that eluded the state
Department of Human Services and 15 regional agencies that manage its
vast referral network, according to the audit. (Livio, The Star-Ledger)

First time I've seen "overpaying" and "day care providers" in the same sentence. Wages for caring for young children tend to be absurdly low. It's hard!
