AOC Officials Could Probably Use a Martini Legal Pad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
[Cheryl Miller]
It's probably not in the budget,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it sure seems like the Administrative Office of the Courts could use some top-notch PR help right about now.
On Thursday night, San Diego television station KGTV slammed former Administrative Director of the Courts Bill Vickrey and current interim director Ron Overholt for allegedly spending lavishly on taxpayer-funded flights,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hotels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fine dining and even alcohol.
The report,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], citing expense reimbursement claims from 2009 to this year, suggests Vickrey and Overholt traveled to posh resorts around the country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dined at swank eateries and swilled Grey Goose martinis -- all on the public dime. And when he wasn't jet-setting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Overholt was billing taxpayers for stays and $51-a-night parking at a San Francisco hotel just blocks away from AOC headquarters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to the piece.
The AOC refused to grant an on-camera interview,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to the reporter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but local assemblyman and mayoral candidate Nathan Fletcher had plenty to say.
"The AOC is going to have a lot of tough questions to answer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Fletcher said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], adding that such profligate spending is one of the reasons the public "has lost faith in its government."
As for the pricey dinners -- $1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],976 at L'Olivier in San Francisco in August 2010, for instance -- those meals were shared by groups of up to 40 attendees and were only reimbursed at the state's travel meal rate of $18 a person,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Carrizosa said.
Overholt did bill the AOC in 2010 for some overnights at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to be closer to a Judicial Council meeting in San Francisco. Carrizosa said Overholt lives 30 miles outside the city and the meetings started early and ended late.
