"“This is an unfortunate example of how government does not keep track of how it spends taxpayer money,” he said.

The router purchase was part of a $126.3 million stimulus-funded project designed to increase high-speed Internet at 1,164 public facilities in West Virginia.

The auditors found that West Virginia officials made the $24 million router purchase without conducting a study to determine what size routers were needed at public facilities, or"community anchor institutions.”"
