PHEAA Wants to Hide the Truth

December 16, 2006 |

There’s nothing those in government like least than for the public to actually know exactly how they are squandering the taxpayers’ money.  In the latest edition, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) is fighting tooth and nail having to release the details of what the $900,000 they spent on seven board retreats since 2000. 

“Tooth and nail” an overstatement? Absolutely not — the PHEAA would like to have the Supreme Court of PA reverse the recent ruling that they must disclose the records to several news groups.

Says the PG: “PHEAA denied all three news organizations’ requests for the records. The agency, which manages student aid and student loans, claimed the records were not public because they contained trade secrets and personal information.”

Hey — it’s just taxpayer money.
