Quits Over Expense Account Error in Arkansas Revenue
State Revenue Commissioner Bob Scott said a top department official, David L. Jones, resigned after an expense account error surfaced in the system he built. Jones, 37, of Dardanelle, cited a cloud on his accounts and his duty to keep others accurate. He admitted an erroneous charge pattern tied to a New Orleans trip, 25 miles daily by secretary’s entry, with 450 miles round trip credited.
