HHS OIG Warns CDC Grants May Have Funded Lobbying
Grants administered by CDC might have been illegally used for political lobbying, according to an "early alert" letter by the HHS Office of Inspector General. The investigation comes after Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) in May expressed concern about the CDC grant program, which is aimed at promoting wellness and prevention.
