Since Ms. Lickness hasn't gotten around to answering this question, I've calculated the maximum. If we assume 70 neighborhoods spent NRP dollars over ten years and did so in a way that keep them just under the $50,000 threshold for a "full" audit, that means there could have been 35 million dollars spent by NRP contractors who were not fully audited. I'm sure that the actual figure is much smaller, but it should give you pause, even if the unaudited figure was only $2,000,000. Keep in mind that the NRP at the neighborhood is run by those who "show up" without benefit of background checks and no public visibility (to speak of). Michael Atherton Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1.
