    Former Packers Quarterback Brett Favre implicated in misappropriation of Millions in Welfare funds

    Joshua TiptonBy Joshua TiptonSeptember 15, 2022Updated:September 5, 2023No Comments1 Min Read

    Former Packers hall of fame quarterback Brett Favre is in the news today. He has been implicated in a misappropriation of funds scheme involving former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant. Text messages show Nancy New, who in April pleaded guilty to 13 counts of bribery of a public official, fraud against the government, and wire fraud charges, discussing details to provide funding for a new University of Southern Mississippi Volleyball stadium.  Favre’s daughter Breleigh Favre, who recently transferred to LSU, played for Southern Miss.

    It’s being reported that nearly $4 million dollars meant for welfare was spent on the project.  Favre’s attorney has denied his involvement.  Favre was briefly questioned two years ago by the FBI but has yet to be charged.

    Mississippi has the highest poverty rate in the United States.  According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s survey in 2019 20.3% of Mississippians live below the poverty line.  The State of Mississippi is currently investigating $77 million dollars of misspent welfare funds.
