Gov. Sonny Perdue is calling for tighter restrictions on the use of state issued credit cards, following news that officials have opened a criminal investigation after an audit revealed widespread abuse of state issued credit cards. Auditors discovered cases of apparent fraud at Georgia Tech and Georgia Perimeter College, as well as poor oversight and shoddy recordkeeping at other agencies, including the Department of Human Resources. Among the worst abusers, four university system employees who charged tens of thousands for their personal use ... a diamond ring, spa visits and car payments.
