Brief Executive Summary
From the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management led by Senator Rand Paul issued a weekly waste report on the USDA sending $125k to build solar panels in the Carambola Golf Club in St. Croix, US. Virgin Islands. The report asserts this grant was financed by the Rural Energy for America Program, of which the Carambola Golf Club technically qualifies for, but is not exactly the intended beneficiary.
