ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Nearly $115 million went to board members of the University of Maryland Medical System or businesses associated with them, a state audit has found.
The payments went to 27 board members or their associated businesses between Jan. 1, 2016 and April 18, 2019, according to a 100-page report that was sent to state lawmakers Friday by the Office of Legislative Audits.
“Approximately 94 percent ($108.2 million) of these payments were made either directly to a Board member or to an entity with which the Board member (or immediate family member) had a direct financial relationship,” the audit said. “The remaining $6.7 million was paid to 19 entities that met our criteria for an associated business, but for which we did not identify a direct financial relationship between the members and the entities (for example, UMMS Board members who also served on the boards of non-profit entities).”
The audit was done after a self-dealing scandal bedeviled the medical system last year.

Dig deeper. The whole board didn't vacate just because of Healthy Holly.

your tax dollars at work
We don't need more taxes. We just need to jail the crooks. Maryland won't do that though because the crooks are mainly Democrats and heaven knows we don't jail Democrats.
The crooks are in charge. It’s a rigged game folks.
Each and every state funded organization needs an independent audit. The state comptroller and house are supposed to have a handle on spending like this.
Why are there these audits when the State does not prosecute them? They do not make them pay restitution. These audit jobs are just make shift jobs, since they never prosecute.
this is why your taxes are going up. to pay for all this graft given to us by the demorats in charge of this state!
Kaiser family insurance owners, father and two sons sat on board and received over $50 million a year in no bid contracts. Mr. Kaiser donation to former Baltimore Mayor Pugh bought $50K worth of Healthy Holly books and received a $47 million contract from Baltimore two weeks later.
