A former Veterans Affairs supervisor has been sentenced for stealing up to $20,000 of government property, a recent Justice Department release announced.
From 2010 to 2013, 48-year-old Venita Godfrey-Scott directed her employees to use materials and supplies intended for VA medical center upkeep on her own house. These taxpayer-funded home improvement projects included “a deck in her backyard, carpet installation, and various kitchen, bathroom and basement improvements.” She also instructed employees to buy other necessary materials with her government-issued credit card, and had them work on these projects during normal work hours, when they were being paid by the VA.
Godfrey-Scott was a facilities supervisor, responsible for “carpentry, paint, locks, doors, and other minor construction projects,” for the VA Medical Center in West Haven, Conn....

Ping.
If workers followed her orders, there is a cancer in the VA.
Are we surprised? I'm not.
And it's PROBABLY not the first time that she dipped her hand into the cookie jar.
Since Obama came into office, it seems the government has been filled with grifters like this POS who want to dip into the public coffers to get their piece of the pie.
Disgusting.
WATCH OUT, Sheriff!!
Want to bet she retired and will be drawing a big pension. For the rest of her life.... Why no picture let’s see what this leach looks like, must be a reason they are not publishing her picture.. I need to get a government job.
V A ping.
Not 100% certain, but I think this is her.
Yep, I looked up additional articles on her. This is like a secret, the MSM isn’t covering it. You can bet this is not isolated, it is rampant among all government agencies....
It gets worse, she got a slap on the wrist.
She should be in prison.
Oh. But Gov Perry is guilty of issuing a veto. Yeah, right.
The level of corruption on the left is literally insane.
Crime does pay! Especially If your a minority and work for the government.
Nobody ever gets fired in government. I fired our finance director. people were shocked and amazed someone actually did it.
Yep, prison.
Remember former congressman James P. Traficant (”Beam me up, Mr. Speaker!”? He went to prison for a variety of crimes. One was having his aides do work on his farm and houseboat.
I remember James P. Traficant. I hate it ended up like it did for him. He was entertaining and right most every time.
If that indeed is her, I think I got this figured out.
Let us contrast:
Dinesh D’Sousa illegally donates $20K OF HIS OWN MONEY to a political campaign through straw donors to benefit a friend’s campaign.
Venita Godfrey-Scott STEALS $20K OF THE PUBLIC’S MONEY in form of materials and labor for her own benefit.
I don’t excuse either activity; however, I’m interested to see who will end up with the easier punishment/sentence.
