Business NH April 2010 - "I Can't Expense The Strip Club?"

by: JonnyBBad

Thu Apr 01, 2010 at 08:29:31 AM EDT


I get a free copy of Business NH- Sean Mahoney's major NH business magazine. They must have have had a real 'stop the presses' moment when the Michale Steele RNC Voyeur Club baller imbroglio broke, or if you believe in coincidence and the tooth fairy, just good luck and good timing.

Its not online yet and you know I can't type, but here is my best attempt at transcription;


Business NH April 2010 page 13
It's amazing what some people will try to expense to their employer. Take the case of a CEO who took clients to a high-end strip club and charged it to the company credit card."The company said it was inappropriate and refused to reimburse and took action against his employment," said James Reidy, a labor and employment attorney and shareholder of the Manchester-based law firm Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green.
 Reidy says that such gross abuses seem to have "evaporated" in light of the recession, but he's seen a rise in employees skimming money from their employers during the last 18 months.

snip

Companies have been tightening their belts,and that means limiting what employees can spend on travel and entertainment, says Heather LaDue, director of business development for AMS, Accounting Management Solutions Inc. in Waltham, Mass"

The Republican party is behind the times,no surprise there.(BNH uses the former abbreviation for Massachusetts) The belts they were tightening...oh never mind you get the gist.

Most interesting is how this article works to position potential candidate Mahoney not as part of the problem but as part of the RNC's solution in DC. Good thing he owns the magazine and could put this out there as a public service...I feel so informed.

Note to self, Gee whiz,I am so glad I read this. And my take away?

Its not a good idea to expense the strip club.(unless it has a name like Lou's Antiques)

Let ye without sin cast the first stone. (4.00 / 1)
What secrets might be lurking in that closet?  Everytime one of these holier-than-thou jerks gets on his high horse it convinces me that they are busy shredding the reciepts from the Hooters lunches.  Blecchhh.

Of course there's the obligatory slam of the worker - these are the people who "skim" while employers are legitimate in raking in billions, importing profits and exporting jobs.  A story in the Washington Post yesterday explained how employers are doing far more with fewer employers - something that Steven Greenhouse has been reporting on for years in the NY Times.

In the end, this is his codespeak to compadres that he is a friend to business as usual.

"Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world." A. Einstein


if I were going to open a strip club (4.00 / 1)
especially one that featured simulated lesbian S&M sex, I'd call it Joe's Garage.  

yeah it was all politics...Mahoney steps down from RNC to run... (0.00 / 0)

The Granite Status reported earlier today that Mahoney resigned from the RNC in protest of what he called the party's excessive and inappropriate spending of donors' money (see item below). He may run for the 1st District U.S. House seat.


Not in the shot
