The Department of Commerce evaluated BASE 1.0 grant program applicants using a standardized scoring rubric, but it didn't consistently follow its process or document the Secretary's final award decisions. The Building a Stronger Economy 1.0 grant program (or BASE 1.0) awarded almost $100 million in federal funds to Kansas entities for infrastructure development. Commerce received 445 BASE 1.0 grant applications requesting a total of about $1.7 billion. Of the $99 million Commerce awarded to 35 recipients, about half went to 10 projects in Butler and Johnson counties. Commerce reviewed applications to the BASE 1.0 grant program and determined which applicants would receive funding using 3 main steps: eligibility review, application scoring, and final selection. Commerce completed an eligibility review for all 10 applications we reviewed and eliminated 1 that wasn't eligible. Commerce didn't consistently follow its application scoring process for the 9 eligible applications we reviewed. We couldn't review the Secretary of Commerce's final award decisions because this process wasn't documented.

Understanding Trump's Federal Workforce Cuts and What They Mean for Americans with Erin Mansfield

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica talks with USA Today reporter Erin Mansfield about the Trump administration's efforts to overhaul and reduce the federal workforce. They discuss the administration's push for greater executive power, the agencies hit hardest by job cuts, and the impact on public services like education and food safety. Erin also explains the legal battles unfolding over these changes, including the significance of the landmark Supreme Court case Humphrey's Executor and the future independence of federal agencies. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:The Federal Workforce Under the Trump Administration: Trump's administration is undertaking dramatic efforts to reshape--and notably reduce--the federal workforce, prompting widespread job insecurity, potential displacements, and structural overhauls throughout the government.Who is Affected by Federal Workforce Reductions: Erin outlines which agencies are most impacted. Socially-oriented agencies—like the Department of Education, Health and Human Services, USDA, and the Environmental Protection Agency—face the brunt of the cutbacks, while national security, law enforcement, and immigration agencies are largely exempt. She clarifies that massive cuts are not equally distributed across all departments. Real-Life Impacts of Workforce Reduction: Jessica and Erin discuss how these changes might touch everyday Americans. Reductions in the workforce could affect everything from food safety inspections and educational grant administration to public health services and climate research—potentially making certain public services less effective or slower.Follow Our Host and Guest: @LevinsonJessica@_erinmansfield

We reviewed Department of Commerce's hiring policies and procedures to determine if they were adequate for staff overseeing financial matters. This was because Commerce hired a staff member in 2020 who pleaded guilty to felonies in Pennsylvania before being hired by Commerce. Commerce officials told us they were not aware of the staff member's crimnal history. We found that Commerce's hiring policies and procedures were not adequate to mitigate the risks associated with hiring applicants with a criminal history. This is because Commerce's hiring policies and procedures don't include any type of criminal history check for any jobs other than the 1 in statute. Commerce officials told us they don't perform state-level criminal history checks on applicants because they don't think they have the authority to perform them through the KBI. However, an alternative to KBI would be to use a Consumer Reporting Agency to perform criminal history checks. These companies may provide employment screening services that include credit checks, license verification, and criminal history information from state and federal databases. We also found that Commerce didn't adequately document their hiring procedures for 3 of the 5 staff we reviewed. reference check summaries weren't available for 3 of the 5 employees we reviewed, and interview notes were missing for 1 of the 5 employees we reviewed. This means we can't determine if Commerce is following their processes consistently. State retention policies require agencies to retain hiring documentation in the full personnel file for the length of the employee's tenure plus 3 years. However, Commerce officials told us that they don't retain some hiring records past 3 years from the date of hire.

In 2019, state law mandated the creation of an online "transparency database" for the purpose of providing the public with information about economic development programs and recipients. The law also requires the transparency database to have certain functional features. The Department of Commerce is responsible for developing and maintaining the transparency database. The Department of Commerce's transparency database does not contain some required economic development programs and is missing certain program and recipient-level information. 13 of 60 incentive programs we expected to find were missing from the transparency database. The transparency database also lacked about half of the 11 statutorily required program-level pieces of information for 5 incentive programs we reviewed. Further, the transparency database contained most statutory information for 24 recipient records we reviewed, but benchmark information was inadequate. The transparency database contained all 3 statutorily required functionalities.
