They force all the crooked government people to cough it up and cut our taxes

[Signalman]

Give up her pension?

How about “going to prison”? If convicted she’s convicted of embezzlement.

[dennisw]

Yikes! First time I have ever seen this. So no pension checks piling up for her while she is in prison. She was due to get approximately $25000 per year pension. She has not been sentenced yet. But if she gets locked up for three years, she would have had $75000 waiting for her when she was released.

The feel good story of the day.

Make government employees worry about their pensions and they’ll stop the stealing and start working.

[Jonty30]

If she invested the money, she should be fine.
Not that I expect thieves to be so forward thinking.

[Sacajaweau]

This looks like some pretended power...Take away a pension?? It might be a nice thought...but that's not what she stole from.

I think it will fall....

Standard embezzling scenario. One person handling everything with no or minimal oversight.

[mewzilla]

Won’t it take 50 years to get back the money?

Don’t think she’s good for that.

[mewzilla]

She got a deal. From May...

No info on what the deal involved.

Now I wonder why that is...?

[desertsolitaire]

I’m shocked that in modern times, this is still occuring. Do you think there are other similar ongoing frauds being done?
Owners too lazy or addled to check?
Management afraid to audit aggressively because they might seem accusatory or offensive?

[Leep]

Well,they might stop stealing not sure if they’ll start working.

[Leep]

A Democrat!?

[PGR88]

Disgraced former Addison employee Ursula Stone, 55, allegedly stole $1,171,362 in village funds over at least 19 years

So where is the $1.1 million? Did they get any of that back?

[glennaro]

Convicted of a felony against an employer? Loss of all pension benefits should by all accounts be automatic and non-challengeable.

[metmom]

It’ll probably never be enough to pay back what she stole, but if she invested wisely, she should be set for life.

She deserves jail time, too.

[metmom]

BOTH!

[tflabo]

Lotta thieving women in these type of stories. So much for the trust the holy estrogens crowd.

[Jacquerie]

Such a shame the major didn’t hire a newly minted CPA who could have nailed her at any time these past nineteen years.
