A former Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries employee offered for sale on the internet fishing equipment matching the description of items purchased by a team managed by her husband, also a department employee, with a state credit card in the wake of the BP oil spill, according to a report issued Monday morning.

quote:

Newman, who began working for the department in August 2010, was authorized to make the purchases by then Fisheries Division Director Randy Pausina to help the agency collect offshore fish samples to be tested for impacts from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Department employees told investigators that Newman was in charge of the Venice tissue-collection team, which included Savoy, his then girlfriend.

quote:

The team purchased $677,585 worth of boating equipment, fishing and water sports equipment, vehicle equipment, household supplies and groceries, clothing, cameras and other items. Newman and Savoy made $475,945 worth of those purchases, auditors found.

quote:

Newman and Savoy appeared in 23 photos on Shimano's Facebook page, showing the department employees fishing with Shimano gear and displaying the fish they caught. Shimano also featured the couple in an online video promoting Shimano gear. A department biologist told investigators the video was taken on a department boat.


quote:

Mr. Newman and Ms. Savoy are now owners of a charter fishing business.

I'm shocked something like this could happen anywhere...especially Louisiana.

Saw this and it perplexed me. Her family has money and she is a good person, so out of character for her. My guess is the husband was the influence here

apparently that was an act, I've always found the "how you act when no one is watching" definition of character to be pretty accurate. "What's done in the dark will be brought to the light"

she was offering a lot of this stuff for sale on her personal facebook page. This wasn't a momentary lapse in judgment, this was a process of blatant theft. The items were physically removed from the state leased camp and then offered for sale on her page. There was plenty of time for her to do the right thing. Greed is a powerful trait

Her family may have money, but she's not a very good person and this seems perfectly in character for her.

It doesn't need to be. This needs attention. I was just joking about my thread being better.

Def not an act, been around them way too long which prob leads to her entitlement attitude
