Jeffrey E. Neely, the embattled General Services Administration regional commissioner who planned a lavish employee conference in Las Vegas that cost more than $800,000, left the agency Thursday, a GSA spokesman said.
Neely, the public buildings commissioner for the Pacific Rim region, had been on administrative leave since early April after an inspector general inquiry found rampant waste and abuse associated with the 2010 event. At the time of the conference, Neely was acting regional commissioner.

I’m married to a teacher. He (and many others) have just gone on ‘staff development training’....courtesy of the tax payer. It was $1000. Plane fare and cost of room and food.
His friend made a trip of it visiting his buddies in a nearby city.......not going to the seminars where sign-in was NOT required.
Just one, big vacation.
Wonder what his cash out was worth.....probably retired on a huge Govmnt pension. Some punishment. Probably sell that picture on t-shirts and make a fortune..
Unless he lost his cushy pension, he is still on the taxpayers' tab.

In this case it is only the taxpayers money and therefore is considered just an error in judgment.

He needs to go to jail! He is a government crook!
