A former candidate for the state House of Representatives who embezzled nearly $150,000 of campaign funds from Oakland County treasurer Andy Meisner has been sentenced to probation and ordered to repay the stolen money.
On Tuesday in Oakland County Circuit Court, Judge Nanci Grant ordered Jennifer Suidan, 34 of Wolverine Lake, to serve five years probation and make consistent, monthly payments to cover $98,304 she stole from Meisner and $51,000 she stole from the Goodman Acker law firm, which Meisner had hired to manage his campaign funds. Suidan had gained access to the funds including the law firms retainer that Meisner was charged while she was employed at Goodman Acker, writing 67 bogus checks and making ATM withdrawals.
Suidan, who had an unsuccessful run in last Novembers election for state representative of Oakland Countys 39th District, faced up to 20 years in prison after pleading no contest in March to the embezzlement charge. At the sentencing hearing, Grant said keeping her out of jail so she could pay back the money was preferable to locking her up yet warned Suidan that if she didnt maintain regular payments for restitution shed find herself behind bars. Grant also ordered her to serve 100 hours of community service, participate in mental health treatment and write letters of apology to Meisner and Goodman Acker.

She's a democrat, and the word "Democrat" is nowhere in the article - of course.
$150K buys a lot of Haagen-Dazs.
If I stole $150k, would I be running around loose?
Yup, used the law of “missing party affiliation” to KNOW that the bimbo was a Dimbocrat.
“used the law of missing party affiliation to KNOW that the bimbo was a Dimbocrat.”
Amazing how that works.
She’s got an early Roseanne look to her, well before she became a “conservative”.
Hey, maybe that’s why we never hear about her lately. ‘Rat freaks would get confused between her last name and the AG’s.
Im sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.
There are too many of them and they arent afraid of prison.
Did she hide stacks of $20s under her chins for safe keeping?
Well, at least the word "democrat" is written all over her mugly face.

What a nasty ugly double standard this justice system has become.
I dont know. Why dont you give it a try?

Another more egregious case involved a guy working for the local university. He got away with around $200,000. Turns out, he had done the same thing at his previous jobanother university. Agreed to pay it back and he went on his merry way. His next job was at a charity in Florida where he did the same thing. Don’t know if he avoided jail time for that.
Well, I hope you have a very meaningful life in jail. Ha, ha!
I kind of support the muslimish method of dealing with thieves...chop off a hand.
Crime sort of paid for those two for a while.

Recall that great Illinois statesmen/grifter , Pual ‘Shoebox’ Powell:
After Powells funeral, his friend John Rendleman, chancellor of Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, opened the secretary of states Springfield hotel room, and found $800,000 cash, in shoe boxes, strongboxes and briefcases, all hidden in the closet.
Surely, she can still run for office in lib CA? Being on probation allows her to attend rallies. Hey, all that campaign money will help with her fines.
