HARTFORD, CT. (WFSB) - The I-Team found a Hartford City Councilman already accused of stealing money from the church he worked for, used city money “Inappropriately.” Hartford officials say Alex Thomas misused a city-issued purchase card, but Thomas tells the I-Team that’s not true.

A report from the City’s Internal Audit Department found Thomas “violated the city’s travel policy for personal gain,” charging hundreds of extra dollars to the town clerk’s card, then he was allowed to.

According to the report, Thomas was approved to attend a work conference in Washington DC in May. The trip was approved by City Council President Shirley Surgeon.

Town Clerk Eric Lusa says Thomas was allowed to take the town clerk’s P card with him but was only approved to use the card on the hotel.
