WHAT HEELS: VA Vacay
The Washington Times has published the third in a series of its ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) investigations into government workers spending their working hours goofing off and/or looking at porn – first at the National Science Foundation, then at the Securities and Exchange Commission and now at the Department of Veterans Affairs special-events office:
The officials include a director who took taxpayer-funded trips to Las Vegas and San Diego that included a sailing trip and a golf outing, records show.
The same official - Diane Hartmann, director of national programs and special events - also authorized herself to receive hundreds of hours of leave to which she wasn't entitled, according to a new report by the VA Office of Inspector General.
Another employee, whose name and job title VA officials so far have withheld, was caught with thousands of pornographic images on his work computer. …
A spokeswoman for the VA declined to comment on specific individuals named in the report, but said officials were weighing disciplinary action.
