Judge Scott Woldt offered her the decision to either serve the jail time or donate her family's four seats in the Packers' three-game season package to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The real, Make-A-Wish, or will this make your wish, your honor?

Not a very good decision IMHO.

First, the tickets are the family's tickets. Is the judge punishing her family for her nefarious deeds? Sort of sounds like something the Taliban would do. Saddam used to punish an entire family, too.

Second, why is she not allowed to pay back the money and do community service work?

Although, I'm sure the judge means well, but still he is punishing this woman's family by making her decide if she goes to jail or give up their Packer Season Tickets.

Now I hope her family wants her around for 90 days and will happily give up their tickets. Of course, on the other hand, there are some really die-hard family Green Bay Packer's fans that would say, hey, we love you but just do the time".

Man, this judge sure is cruel to divide a family like this just because she pilfered some union cash. Hey, lady, give a call to Sandy Berger, I think he can tell you how to get off with just a slap on your hand.

Go to jail AND give up your tickets for a year.

She shouldn't have to give up the family tickets. HER ticket maybe.

Jail, restitution, and paying up a big fine of cold hard cash is the best way to go.

This is idiotic. What kind of ruling is this? Put the woman in jail , make her pay a fine, or perform community service. Donating her "families" season tickets is going overboard IMO. She committed the crime, not her family.

I sense a Jack Benny moment coming on....


And a FYI to all out-of-staters: in these here parts, you don't just BUY season tickets. You put your name on a waiting list that is YEARS long.

And cruel and unusual would have been Bears tickets.

C'mon folks she was stealing FROM A LABOR UNION how bad can that be-she should just say she was taking the money in order to give it back to the rank and file-just before Christmas.
