COLUMBUS — Ohio Auditor of State Keith Faber released the following statement in response to Gov. Mike DeWine’s announcement Monday that his administration will increase oversight and directly handle certification of substance abuse recovery centers that receive public funding for the support they offer:“We are happy the governor is finally acting here," Faber said. My office has flagged shortcomings in Medicaid controls that have or could be costing Ohioans billions of dollars, including recent audit work that indicated weaknesses in recovery services. This is a good first step to ensure taxpayer dollars are going to support Ohioans who are truly in need of this support.” Donations may be made to: The Highland County Press, P.O.
