Case seems to have a bug up his patootie in his overzealous efforts to get rid of McIntyre.
Apparently, the AG either owes Case some favors, or he’s sitting on the same bug, since none of the purchases reported seem like real misconduct, let alone felonious.

Having worked as a p-card administrator for both State and Federal positions, I can’t count on 10 hands the number of people who screw up using their P-cards – either using it instead of their personal card, or buying things they shouldn’t.

It happens. a lot. The only times I’ve ever seen it made into an issue of any kind is when someone wants a reason to get rid of someone.

EDITOR NOTE–Actually McIntyre and Tibbs have both filed charges against each other in the past with the AG. We figure this time it has the potential of getting her to simply walk away. HOWEVER there is the issue of her dignity and “good name” which could force a trial that would drag on for a long time.

Looks like office politics.

What is her footing with current and future Commissioners. This looks like the kind of thing they all do all the time. Someone was upset with her.

You know….the kinds of corruption that I regard as very serious violations of the public trust, are totally ignored. I have seen local corruption that makes McIntyre’s mistake look very puny. Someone wants her head on a stick.

Now, we need to find the motive.

I am not a lawyer, but I am pretty sure when you use a credit card you have “borrowed” the money from the card/bank (Chase, Citi, Amex, etc.) and not the agency. It is not misuse of funds unless you don’t pay it or reimburse it. Of course it is bad practice.

Apparently she got on the wrong side of someone and they have looked and found something.

I would love to be on a jury where the defense attorney would ask if anyone had inadvertently used a work credit card instead of a personal credit card on a small purchase. Did she repay it when it was identified or did she attempt to keep the purchase and not pay for it?

I would hope that the County can produce policies that prohibit reasonable entertainment being paid for while on County business. That would include Pay per View movies and perhaps a local newspaper. The list could also include a hotel long distance call to family while out of town on County business. OOPS, did I order cheese on that burger and is that allowed? Watch employees not want to attend workshops and meetings if it costs them money.

She must have killed someone’s dog and they have come after her.
