How Many Ways Can You Say “Corruption”–Vote for the RECALL and Send a Message

The investigation by the Office of the Inspector General found Rodriguez had opened American Express cards for many FHS and Jackson Memorial Foundation employees in a manner that ensured all the awards points flowed to him.

Between June 2007 and October 2010, Rodriguez redeemed over 6.8 million reward points – worth about $63,000. The inspector general’s report, however, focused only on 985,908 points, worth about $9,000, that were earned by the business activities of FHS. FHS runs Jackson’s international marketing activities and operates on government funds provided by Jackson.
