GCC coach accused of double-dipping resigns from college

By Howard B. Owens

A Genesee Community College softball coach who was accused of filing time cards for duplicate hours worked at two different government agencies has resigned her position with the college, according to GCC spokesperson Richard Ensmans.

Besides coaching at GCC, Renee Smith, 28, was being paid as a recreational therapist for the State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities.

The inspector general said at one time Smith said she was on the clock for her full-time job with the state when she was in fact traveling to Myrtle Beach, SC, with the GCC softball team.

The state claims Smith bilked the state out of $1,000 in false payments.

The Democrat & Chronicle was first to report the allegation that Smith was double-dipping on her state pay and her GCC pay.
