...the illegal sale of palm trees belonging to the college...Alleen Texeira, a former head of the horticulture department, has pleaded guilty to a grand-theft charge involving $306.

$306 is grand theft?........I guess her PALMS weren't greased enough........

I’m really trying to get my arms around this situation. If my home was vandalized, I may setup a sting operation to catch the vandals, I might question the neighbors, but one always evaluates the intended outcome against the cost when it is being paid for out of pocket. The problem here, as in so many other cases (scooter libby, the NSA recordings, just to name a few) seems to be that when a person in charge of the public’s purse is not paying the bills themselves, they have decided it is OK to spend the public’s money on a witch hunt. Now granted, the theft is a big deal, fire the perpetrator and anyone even remotely involved in it, but to let an investigation go on without checking back on a weekly basis how much the investigating is costing is worse than the original crime. Am I right?
