Things that make you go hmmmm

I was looking at the credit card bills for the county and ran across a few that made me go hmmm.

That was just a few entries from one month. Everyone eats out a lot on our dime.

http://www.parkco.us/Archive.aspx?AMID=53 Public information from their site.

Nails done ? Some of this may be fine but does raise some questions. What branch is this from? What are BAA cases? Who are some of these people, who do they work for and what are their responsibilities?

I am not sure but I think they are some kind of celebration of sorts.
Kathy must be the county party planner.

Car Washes, Lunches, Hotels. Heck, I want to work for the county.

It would be funny if it wasn't all our money.

Exactly why I posted these to begin with...and everyone should be reviewing them. Serious non-essential spending being paid by the taxpayers for their entertainment and what else??? You should review some of the furniture purchases on the Visa Bill from January and February...a few of the furniture stores on those bills are "HOME DECORATING" stores, NOT Business Office Furniture stores...keep digging and reading folks, it only gets worse...

Heh. My own statements don't look like that - they look like this:
Utility bills
grocery stores
gas

Someone call John Feruggia.

You know what bothers me about this?
I have to eat out a lot when I am on the road. I have to pay for it. The advantage I have is I can write it off on my taxes.
If I have to stay in a hotel for training....I pay for it and I deduct it off my taxes.
If I wash my car, I have to pay for it and take it off my taxes.
If a coworker has an anniversary or birthday, other employees take up a collection and pay for it. I don't take it off my taxes.
Since when was Hog heaven a supply category?
I stayed up a little last night and went through a couple of those credit card bills. What a bunch of wasted money while you and I are all tightening our belts and doing without.

Wow. I have no idea of who these people are that have made the charges, but it sure does not look like business related expenses. I'm with you Becky in what my business trip expenses look like. Even though I'm the CEO of my company, my business expenses never look anything like that. Time for an inquiry I'd think, one that has peopel paying back for abuses.
