La actriz desvela en sus redes sociales que el partido "ha contribuido de forma significativa a sufragar" los costes de su proceso El juez envía al banquillo a Errejón por la agresión sexual denunciada por Elisa Mouliaá La actriz Elisa Mouliaá ha desvelado este martes que Sumar le pagó una parte “significativa” de los costes que ha tenido que abonar para su defensa en la causa contra el exportavoz de esa coalición, Íñigo Errejón, quien dimitió hace más de un año tras una serie de denuncias contra él por acoso sexual. “Desde aquí quiero dejar constancia públicamente de que @sumar ha contribuido de forma significativa a sufragar los costes de mi proceso judicial. Un gesto que evidencia la responsabilidad política que debería asumirse de forma generalizada Porque la responsabilidad no se proclama, se ejerce. GRACIAS”, ha escrito en sus redes sociales la actriz. Después de que salieran a la luz varias denuncias anónimas en redes sociales contra el exdiputado, Mouliaá afirmó públicamente que había sido víctima de abusos sexuales en el pasado y presentó una denuncia contra él en la Justicia. En noviembre, el instructor dictó auto de procesamiento contra Errejón después de trece meses de investigación en los que tomó declaración al propio Errejón, a Mouliaá, a testigos y a psiquiatras. Este enero, el juez tomó la decisión de abrir juicio oral contra el exdirigente político y sentarle en el banquillo de los acusados, en contra del criterio de la Fiscalía. Después de conocer el mensaje de la actriz, fuentes de Sumar han confirmado que le ayudaron a sufragar el abogado. “En su momento dijimos que nos poníamos a disposición de las víctimas y así lo hemos hecho. Nos contactaron para pedirnos apoyo económico para el abogado y lo dimos”, aclaran.

In a win for President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, a recent court ruling has cleared the way for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to resume using states’ Medicaid data to find people who are in the country illegally. The case is ongoing. But for now, immigrants — including those who are in the country legally […]

(The Center Square) - A group of Wisconsin Republicans are looking to root out fraud by changing the way state agencies go through the budget process. Assembly Bill 556 would require 20% of state agencies to do a zero-based budgeting process each biennial budget. That would mean starting from scratch and justifying all spending instead of building on prior agency budgets. Sen. Chris Kapenga, R-Delafield, said that the state’s current budget process is broken and pointed out that the 2011-13 budget was for $64 billion while the 2026-27 budget is $111 billion. “The most important part of the budget process is that every budget builds off of current spending levels,” Kapenga said in testimony for the bill, which he sponsors. “Simply put, every state budget is built on top of the one before it, or what's called built from base. Rarely, if ever, is there an actual cut in spending.” Kapenga said that it is necessary for state agencies to look at the effectiveness of past spending toward an agency’s purpose before choosing to spend again in the same way in the future. “The bill also makes modifications to the way our state agencies make their budget base reports, by requiring agencies to identify the intended goal of each appropriation and analyze whether each appropriation completely succeeded in meeting its intended goal,” Kapenga said. “If not, then the agency is required to explain why. Under current law, the information agencies are required to share about how successful their prior appropriations leave much to be desired.” Rep. Lindee Brill, R-Sheboygan Falls, said that normal business owners, like the family manufacturing business she grew up with, use zen-based budgeting and that it only makes sense for state agencies to do the same with taxpayer funds. “Just one state over, taxpayers have been defrauded of literally billions of dollars, with the true number climbing all the time,” Brill said in testimony on the bill. “We have learned that state agencies, if not actively complicit in the fraud, allowed this to continue for cycle after cycle of budget processes. “AB 556 provides a clear, effective measure to establish a culture of accountability in our budgeting process, to ensure that not one penny of taxpayer dollars is being wasted.”

(The Center Square) – An Illinois lawmaker is raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and legal compliance at Illinois State University following a state audit that found long-standing material weaknesses and repeated violations of state law. State Rep. Paul Jacobs, R-Pomona, who serves on the House Appropriations for Higher Education Committee and the Cybersecurity Committee, said the Illinois Auditor General’s findings for fiscal year 2024 point to systemic problems that have gone unresolved for years. “These things are going back for years,” Jacobs told TCS. “You had three Category 1 weaknesses and 10 Category 2 significant deficiencies. That’s more of a systemic problem.” The audit found ISU failed to meet key legal and accounting requirements, including deficiencies in cybersecurity controls, outside employment disclosures and student data protections. Several of the findings were repeat issues dating back more than a decade. Jacobs said the findings raise questions about accountability, particularly as ISU continues to receive increased taxpayer funding. “Why would they be getting more money instead of fixing the problems they already have,” Jacobs said. “If we’re giving you money, you need to be taking care of it.” Jacobs said the university’s cybersecurity shortcomings are among the most troubling aspects of the audit, especially given the sensitive information universities handle. “The biggest thing is it puts the students’ records at risk, like Social Security numbers, etc.” he said. “The institution is also at risk. And, of course, that could be an awful lot of lawsuits.” Jacobs said the audit’s findings reveal faculty members engaging in outside work without proper disclosure, a requirement under Illinois law designed to prevent conflicts of interest and protect taxpayer-funded research. “They have some of their professors working outside and they’re not reporting to the university,” said Jacobs. He warned that undisclosed outside work could have serious consequences, particularly when faculty use research funded by taxpayers in private ventures. “If you’re a research scientist and you take that work to an outside job, and that research was done with taxpayer money, there could be patents involved,” Jacobs said. “There’s a lot of millions of dollars in lawsuits. That’s why that law exists, to protect the interests of the state and the university.” The audit also found ISU is not compliant with the federal Credit Card Marketing Act, which requires public universities to protect student information from being shared with businesses for marketing purposes. “That’s a straightforward statutory requirement,” Jacobs said. Jacobs said repeated audit findings indicate the university has failed to correct known problems, and lawmakers may need to intervene to ensure compliance. He suggested assigning responsibility to specific administrators and requiring regular progress reports. Jacobs also acknowledged lawmakers themselves may share some responsibility for failing to oversee public universities more closely. “Apparently, the universities are not being looked over as well as they should be,” he said. “I think this spring, we will have to look at these reports maybe a lot more closely.” The Center Square contacted ISU for comment on the audit, but the university had not responded by publication.
