WTF? NYC Federal 9/11 Compensation Fund Edition

I noticed this one via a Buzzflash headline.

Now, I'm hoping there's some kind of a typo happening here, because the article explains how the Feds are attempting to take back $169 Million in funds for the victims of the 9/11 Attacks. They article says the reasoning behind this is that some of the money was unspent, thus unneeded, and that some of it which was spent was used on improper expenses.

This brings us to the key WTF? part of the article:

"A Government Accountability Office report found that $44 million was improperly spent by New York bureaucrats who failed to follow guidelines, sources said.

The money was meant to be used for administrative costs, but much of it ended up compensating victims instead."

Ah. Yeah. As a taxpayer, I'm outraged that my hard earned dollars aren't being spent on beuracracy and red tape as they were intended, but instead are being frittered away on....compensating...victims and survivors of....the attacks on the World Trade Center.......yeah.

Can that possibly not be a typo? While I slept last night, did I somehow manage to slip into an even deeper level of Bizarro world?
