Questioned charges lead to new WDI credit card policy

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A Wilmington City Council member’s concern means a new credit card policy for Wilmington Downtown Inc. Councilwoman Laura Padgett questioned some charges to the group’s account.

WDI executive director John Hinnant admits he used the card to buy grocery and cigars and for some other charges, but later reimbursed the organization. Hinnant told WWAY he doesn’t think it was wrong or is wrong. Still WDI is working on a policy that limits the corporate card’s use for business purposes.
