Deputy Treasurer and the Abuse of a State Credit Card

Filed in Delaware by cassandra_m on August 20, 2013 • 28 Comments

By request of commenter Nuttingham, this topic now has its own thread. The NJ reported on Sunday about the Deputy Treasurer’s misuse of her state-issued credit card. They document about $2100 in personal charges on the card, that were — eventually — reimbursed. The key part of this article (for me, at any rate) was the fact that the Finance Department flagged this pattern of misuse and couldn’t get the attention of anyone in the Treasurer’s Office.

Just over a month ago, Chip Flowers was sworn in at the Treasurer of the State of Delaware. Since that time, he has started fulfilling campaign promises.

I have talked to Chip Flowers several times in the past at various political events. He and I have made small talk, or discussed small-time political analysis. After just a few minutes with him it is easy to see that he is a pretty nice guy. However, if you spend another hour with him, a […]
