You have to wonder about people like this. $500 at a jewelry store for a water company credit card? I mean come one. If you're going to steal from the taxpayers, you should at least have a brain.
This person apparently charged non-business related expenses to a corporate account. Did he not think auditors would catch up with him? Did he not think the board members might question a jewelry store expense?
Glad to hear the board took this action and dismissed the employee. This is the exact kind of story that makes taxing bodies look bad in the eye of the public.
