Meanwhile, the size and duration of the alleged thievery has Congress, council members and many taxpayers questioning why no city officials caught it.Ahh, perhaps they were all in on it???

The D.C. government issued more than $44 million in questionable property tax refunds in the past nine years -- more than double the amount that prosecutors have declared to be missing in a massive theft of city money. Ummm, D.C. government's just a bunch of dems, right?

Considering her job related windfall you'd think she could have coughed up a bit more contribution money

She had various relatives and friends cashing the checks, so I’m sure she was generous in the same way Mr. Hsu was.

LOL. My first thought exactly. I guess Walter's was too busy at Neimann Marcus.

There is quite a growing list of dimocRAT controlled cities with major problems. Let’s not leave out Philadelphia, Detroit and New Orleans. The list could go on.

I wonder if she put money in the collection plate.

160 checks since June 1999 During which time the Democrats successfully labeled the Republicans as "the party of corruption."
We really, really need to fight on this issue. Corruption is mother's milk to the Democrat Party.

There’s no doubt this thing is bigger than it now appears. Ms. Walters will probably implicate a lot more D.C. officials. It may go all the way to the mayor’s office.
