The state of North Carolina is investigating charges of credit card abuse among one county's school administrators. Public school employees expensed money spent at places like spas, Bojangles, and Wal-Mart--charges believed to be personal, according to CBS Charlotte:

Danny Blanton says he received thousands of receipts from the district of 22 school administrators spending habits. He claims all thepurchases were not for school use but instead personal use.

"Groceries, going out to eat, tires," Blanton said. "Bought clothing and there have been checks written back to the county for that misuse - maybe part of it, have they done it all the time - I can't answer that."

Blanton does want the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) to answer that question. It is investigating. SBI would not comment on the investigation nor say when it will be complete.
