From Jamie Dupree: A report by internal investigators at the Environmental Protection Agency found 'ineffective oversight' at the EPA allowed federal workers to use government credit cards to buy gift cards, gym memberships, food and thousands of dollars in other items that were not properly approved for purchase by the agency in 2012.
"Seventy-five of 80 reviewed transactions were not in compliance with EPA policies," read a report from the Inspector General of the EPA issued last Friday.
"Some of the more egregious purchases we identified were meals for an awards recognition ceremony and gym memberships for EPA employees and their families," the report stated.
The 2013 audit looked at only a small sample of the charges made with the 1,370 purchase card holders at EPA, who used the cards to make more than $29 million in purchases in Fiscal Year 2012.
Of the 67,000 transactions made with EPA purchase cards in FY 2012, investigators selected 80 purchases for review - finding 52 percent of the money involved should not have been approved for use. http://www.wsbradio.com/weblogs/jamie-dupree/2014/mar/09/questions-raised-use-government-credit-cards/
So, 93% of the purchases by EPA employees were improper.
And has anybody been fired?
Has any supervisor been yelled at for their approval of the purchases?
Typical federal government expenditures. Bogus.
Typical punishment for those who abused the credit cards... nothing.
Another Drone Theory! "Conspiracy"????
