Diverting $2.5 billion awarded in a mortgage settlement
"Some states are diverting their share of a $2.5 billion they were awarded in a mortgage settlement, money intended to help homeowners and mitigate the effects of foreclosures."

I'm shocked (not) but I am appalled. I'm certainly not surprised.
