• State auditor: former Webster Groves employees used city credit cards for strip clubs, cannabis (kmov.com) — Webster Groves city officials are responding to a Missouri state audit that found two former finance employees misused about $4,300 in city credit cards for personal expenses, including travel, cannabis, and adult entertainment. The city says staff first uncovered the problem, self-reported it, recovered all funds, and has tightened purchasing card oversight, while the state auditor is not pursuing further investigation.
