Heather Wilson controversy follows ex congresswoman to SD Mines
Former U S representative Heather Wilson drew scrutiny as the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology named her president. An Energy Department inspector general report said four federally funded labs paid Wilson nearly 450000 after she left office without documented work records. Labs reimbursed the government amid questions of irregular billing while Wilson defended full contract compliance. The saga raises concerns about post political employment and influence buying in federal contracting.
