A new report by Anna Wolfe of Mississippi Today claims former NFL quarterback Brett Favre allegedly used his political and business connections to collect taxpayer funds for his preferred organizations.
Favre reportedly used “special access” to Mississippi governor Phil Bryant and other power players who accessed the state’s welfare funds to get millions of dollars for organizations he preferred. Among Favre’s influences were $5 million in grant funds for the University of Southern Mississippi’s new volleyball court and $2.15 million million in “allegedly stolen funds” from the Mississippi Department of Human Services to a pharmaceutical company that Favre backs called Prevacus.
