Rep. Susan Wild, D-Pa., stands ready to score $1 million in taxpayer dollars for a children's behavioral and mental health facility she defended in a rape case involving a minor.
Wild argued at the time that KidsPeace should not be responsible for a settlement payment to the patient because the rape was a "medical incident" that should be covered by its insurance policy. KidsPeace did not have a "crystal ball," Wild said, that would have allowed it to predict the counselor's "malfeasance," although the individual was previously charged in the suffocation death of a 12-year-old patient.
The earmark for KidsPeace is just one of $772.5 billion in non-defense discretionary spending that is listed in the 4,155 page omnibus bill passed by the Senate Thursday.
