(The Center Square) — A group of Democratic Georgia lawmakers is calling for a criminal probe after the Georgia Department of Labor discovered more than $105.1 million in unremitted funds.
Last week, following an internal audit, the labor department said it returned the funds to the state treasury. Officials said the funds began accumulating in fiscal 2014 under the previous labor commissioner and were discovered as part of an investigation into “fraud and unemployment insurance system vulnerabilities.”
