It's Parks and Recreation, Not Parks and Buy Yourself an Xbox 360

An employee of the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department used a city credit card to purchase a little recreation for himself—namely, an Xbox 360. That’s not all the gaming recreation that the employee, Naikia Howard, indulged in: he also took a copy of Wii Sports and a Wii home from a Seattle teen center.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); An ethics investigation found Howard guilty of violating ethics rules and misusing public property. In Dec. 2009, Howard purchased forty copies of Wii Sports and then distributed them to late-night community centers. This Jan., when asked about the Wii console and a credit card receipt for an Xbox 360, Howard told an ethics-commission investigator that they were in a community-center safe. The safe, however, was empty. According to the investigation, Howard asked a fellow employee for help with a cover-up. Howards has been a Seattle Parks and Recreation Department employee since 1999. He’s been demoted to a parks laborer and agreed to pay a $1,500 fine. Think how many โค้ดเครดิตฟรีสมาชิกใหม่ล่าสุด Xbox 360s he could have bought with that!
