Metro’s Greanias suspended for a week

For accessing “adult” sites

David Crossley, Jul 28, 11.

The Metropolitan Transit Authority board has suspended George Greanias, the agency’s president and chief executive officer, for accessing adult content on Metro’s computer system, board chairman Gilbert Garcia announced today, according to a story in the Houston Chronicle:

Greanias, who has led Metro for less than a year, will be suspended for one week without pay for violating Metro’s electronic communications policies, Garcia said.

An investigation revealed that while on his personal computer, Greanias accessed more than a dozen “adult-oriented sites of a sexual nature through the Metro Internet system,” Metro said in a news release.

Greanias’ punishment, Garcia said, is stiffer than would normally be assessed against an employee for such a violation.
