Well that was a mind boggling read.

Did I get it right? He admits that he charged $14K of personal expenses on his governmental credit card, but his central argument is that he was more carefully scrutinized due to the color of his skin. I wish the article got into more detail. At my job I better justify my expenses down to the dollar, regardless of my skin color.

How do you know you have justify expenses regardless of skin colour? Have you ever tried being another skin colour?

There are people of different skin tones and ethnicities at work and so far I haven't seen anybody get a pass, so I'm inferring that the financial department doesn't give a damn. Do you have any evidence of the contrary?

Yea, thats an odd ruling.
Only thing i can speculate is if other members of Nanaimo also abusing their city issued CC's, and were not fired.
