Of course the article doesn’t say that she was appointed in 2009 or that she conveniently “retired” before investigators could question her.
The inspector general concluded in a report released in late March that Loftus conducted little or no work during official travel to New Orleans, New York, Japan, Key West, Florida, Spain and Saratoga Springs, New York, where she grew up. On that trip, a Facebook photo showed her apple picking.
"Witnesses could not account for Ms. Loftus' activities for much of the duty day and Ms. Loftus did not share information about many of her activities with her staff," the report says. "Additionally, witnesses told us that Ms. Loftus went sightseeing during the duty day, skipped meetings she was scheduled to attend and sent her staff instead, and accrued an unreasonable amount of mileage on her rental vehicles."
And she’ll get away with it?
