U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement on a new report by The Arizona Republic detailing additional evidence of mismanagement by the Navajo Housing Authority (NHA):

"Today's report by The Arizona Republic showing the Navajo Housing Authority plans to build a series of mobile homes at approximately $300,000 each is the latest example of squandered taxpayer dollars. The fact that the agency was brazen enough to approve a $30.8 million contract without obtaining bids competitively demonstrates a very real need for reform and oversight of NHA's procurement practices. Navajo families are desperate for housing, but that need cannot be met without meaningful reform."
