Homeland Security Department IG Investigation Delayed

Homeland Security's Inspector General told congress this week that it won't be until August that an investigation into alleged improprieties in the site selection of Kansas State University for the $720 million high containment biodefense lab facility can begin, due to the demands of other Congressional requests for information from the Homeland Security Department. Between the federal lawsuit filed last week and this delay in internal investigation, a lot of Kansas trade contractors will be sitting on their shovels this summer.
