Status of 1,645 Cases, January 2019 Through December 2019
The pie chart shows, 1,172 (or 71%) of the 1,645 cases lacked sufficient information for investigation or are pending preliminary review. For another 299 (or 18%) cases, we conducted work or will conduct additional work—such as analyzing available evidence and contacting witnesses—to assess the allegations. We notified the respective agencies for an additional 89 (or 6%) cases so they could investigate the matters further, and we independently initiated investigations for another 34 (or 2%) cases. Further, we requested that state agencies gather information for 51 (or 3%) cases to assist us in assessing the validity of the allegations. Some of these cases may still be ongoing.

The Supervisor Misused State Parking Permits So She and Her Staff Could Park for Free
Figure 4 is a flowchart that illustrates the proper use of the parking permits and the supervisor's misuse of the permits. The flowchart begins with an image of the commission followed by an arrow that points to an image of parking permits. An arrow after the parking permits points to an image of an office worker that is titled "Supervisor." Underneath the supervisor image are two arrows. One arrow points to a text box titled "Proper Use." The other arrow points to a text box titled "Misuse." The "Proper Use" text box explains that the parking permits are either for official guests of the commission or for commission employees who have purchased and been assigned permits and remit payment to the commission. The "Misuse" box indicates that the parking permits are for the supervisor and her staff to use at the commission expense.
