FLORIDA - Is it simply an eleven million dollar mistake or an eleven million dollar conspiracy?

Either way, Congressman Jeff Miller and some of his constituents want answers about a federal website that says five "fictitious" Florida Congressional districts received over 11 million dollars in stimulus funds.

Greg Neumann joins us in the studio with more, Greg.

This same thing has happened in several other states where the website recovery.gov has listed economic stimulus money going to congressional districts that simply don't exist.

Congressman Miller found the discrepancy in Florida and is crying foul, but a spokesperson for the federal recovery office says it's just a matter of sloppy paperwork.

When you log at the website recovery.gov click on the page for Florida, and then try to find out how much money went to each congressional district, you'll see on the very bottom of that page a category called "unassigned congressional districts, which got over 11 million dollars.

But when Jeff Miller logged onto the same page a few days ago it looked different.

Instead of unassigned districts it listed five districts that simply don't exist.

"This is millions and billions of dollars we're talking about, and they can't even tell what district it goes to or that these are not real districts. That is kind of concerning to say the least."

"I'd like to say I hope its somewhere, but my gut feeling is its gone somewhere but are we ever gonna find out? I doubt it."

Jeff Miller is asking the same questions as his constituents.

But the spokesperson for recovery.gov says while they changed the page due to Miller's questions. There is no grand conspiracy.

"You're going to have errors in those reports, like in any other."

Ed Pound says Congress requires each of the more than 130 thousand agencies that received stimulus money to report it for entry on the website.

And he says some of people who filled out their reports simply put in the wrong information and he doesn't have enough people to double-check it.

"They put, very simply. They made an error, in putting in the district. There are many other elements that they filled out that will tell you precisely where the money is.

But when I asked pound to tell me where i could find that information on the website, he gave a very confusing answer.

You'll find Florida, and click on Florida and use one of the download features to get the material, and you can go through that material pretty easily, cuz you can sort that material and figure out the answer I think, as easily as I can.

But what we found out is that while it would be possible to find that money it could literally take days to do it.

If you want to try, you can find a link to recovery.gov by going to our website and clicking on newslinks.

You can also find a link there to congressman Miller's newsletter as well as the page with the fictitious congressional districts that miller's staffers were able to capture.What's Behind Florida's Stimulus Discrepancies?
