Government waste, exhibit # 123,456 (or thereabouts)

The Gary, Indiana School Corporation is revoking credit cards issued to school administrators. Gee, how come? Well, in order to reduce spending. How will this help? See for yourself:

"A recent report by The Times of Munster found that administrators charged nearly $57,500 to credit cards between May 2007 and May 2008. School Superintendent Mary Steele-Agee charged the most during that period, nearly $16,000."

And say, what did Ms. Steele-Agee have to say about all those charges?

"She declined to comment following Tuesday's school board meeting."
