Teacher Used Union-Issued Credit Card to Fund Gambling
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007Teachers don’t get paid a whole lot, but this story out of New Jersey is over the top. It seems that a teacher in Camden, New Jersey, and also the president of the local teacher’s union in her school district, tried to use a union-issued credit card to fund her gambling habit, ultimately trying to pass the tab down for the teacher’s union to cover.
position from 2000 to 2006, she was also using a union-issued credit card to help fund her alleged addiction to gambling. According to prosecutors, she visited a variety of Atlantic City casinos and racked up somewhere around $15,000 in expenses during her 26 visits.
The teacher was originally confronted by union officials, at which time she repaid $7,467 of her gambling debt. She didn’t bother to pay the rest, however, and was recently indicted on charges. If convicted, she could face up to $15,000 in fines as well as up to five years in prison.
Not to overstate the obvious, but using a company-issued credit card to fund your gambling activities is never a good idea.
