Handicapped job training questioned by Iowa audit
A state audit questions the legality of a Linn County Health Center contract costing 21 506 for handicapped job training. It says the contract was invalid due to improper structure and should be disallowed, with liability and any refund to be determined by federal agencies. The health center says it relied on state and federal officials and should not bear liability. The final ruling rests with the U S Department of Labor and the Employment and Training Administration.
