The Oklahoma Health Department hid millions of dollars from lawmakers in a "slush fund" that allowed it to spend beyond its means for years, a state multicounty grand jury revealed Thursday in a stunning 32-page report.

Grand jurors concluded that the Health Department never actually was in a financial crisis, that it had "ample cash" to pay all of its expenses and that the 198 layoffs there were unnecessary.

Grand jurors also called last November's $30 million emergency bailout of the agency unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer dollars. Grand jurors reported those funds remain unspent.
