USPS Enjoy Season Tickets To Pro Ball Games

Postal Service employees in one city spent nearly $15,000 on season and group tickets to pro basketball, football and baseball games. It was an "imprudent" use of the SmartPay Purchase Card postal agency auditors say. But the sports tickets did not directly violate USPS purchasing procedures because they were bought as recognition awards for postal employees, according to the Washington Post. Either way the IG says the purchases directly conflict with USPS's goal of driving down costs in everything they do. Overall, auditors found oversight of the Purchase cards improved in 2010.
