Someone from the previous Kim administration who stayed on for a while and knew the pCard process. They haven't been in the administration for a while.
It's not so hard to imagine why the Kenoi administration would do this, though it is perhaps other than either of your two reasons offered. Since you've known of successful people who are philosophically opposed to cc's perhaps you can imagine a staff who know their boss is gregarious, generous, and somewhat difficult to corral. Better they control the accounting by having the statement come directly to them. And, for the record, I do the same thing. An employee takes care of my accounts, calculates my reimbursements between business and personal, and argue with me over how some charges should be classified. Sometimes my CPA weighs in as well as the deciding voice, just as the pCard Administrator would have between the Mayor, his staff, and the Finance Dept.
Please dont go off on "generous with the publics money" or some such take off...his total charges over the 7 years that have been referred to are less than a year or two for any CEO of a large corporation. $1500/ month average total charges? Good grief, I spend more than that and I have fewer than 10 employees.
App. $350/ mth in reimbursement....Really? Impeachable offenses?
The hue and cry of the offended echoes the debilitating hysteria that Fox and the alt-Right have been able to ferment towards the Clintons. They've done it since the '90's so the scale is out of proportion, but from what I can read there's as little in the p-Card "scandal" as there was fault by Hillary in Benghazi or operating a private server (never hacked) versus the oft hacked Federal systems.
Nevertheless we could end up with Trump and Billy is permanently damaged as a public figure. I believe that was the basis of his apology to the public and the Council. He was truly sorry for how this has played out, whether for substantive complaints or not.
