A worker at the state’s Office of Administrative Hearings improperly spent nearly $900,000 through fraudulent credit card purchases, the state auditor said Monday.
The Office of Administrative Hearings resolves disputes between state or local government agencies and Washingtonians. It has more than 200 employees.
Auditors found about $878,000 in misappropriated credit card payments at the agency in a roughly four-year period beginning in mid-2019.
