But, state Auditor Shad White has said Favre still owes $228, ****** in interest.In October ****** , Favre and White engaged in a about White saying Favre had accepted the $1.1 million but had failed to show up for speaking engagements.Of course the money was returned because I would never knowingly take funds meant to help our neighbors in need, but for Shad White to continue to push out this lie that the money was for no-show events is something I cannot stay silent about, Favre wrote.The director of the nonprofit, Nancy New, in April to charges of mi spending welfare money, as did her son Zachary New, who helped run the center. They await sentencing and have agreed to testify against others.In a Sept. ****** court filing in the civil lawsuit, an attorney for the Mi si sippi Community Education Center released about $5 million in welfare money that went toward the volleyball facility. The me sages were between Nancy New and Favre, between Favre and former Mi si sippi Gov. Phil Bryant and between Bryant and New. The me sages were from ****** to ****** , when the Republican Bryant was still governor.That court filing said the nonprofit center agreed to pay Favre $1.1 million for a few radio spots to help fund the volleyball arena, which was also being called a campus wellne s center.

I understand you being uneasy about that though. Lets see what happens on Monday with the conversation with some of the folks at Southern. Maybe it will click with them. Hopefully.Favre replied: Ok thanks.The next day, New texted Favre: Wow, just got off the phone with Phil Bryant! He is on board with us! We will get this done!Favre played football at the University of Southern Mi si sippi before going to the Mychal Givens Jersey NFL in ****** .
