The former president of a St. Helens-based manufacturer’s labor union who embezzled $32,000 from the union was sentenced Wednesday to five years of probation and ordered to complete 50 hours of community service.
John Jason Burgess, 43, of Hillsboro has paid back a portion of the money he took, but has another $10,621.92 left in restitution. In December, he had pleaded guilty to concealing or destroying the union’s financial records, particularly receipts of union purchases he made for his personal gain.

I’m actually a big fan of community service. Doesn’t have the cost of jail cell time, and people value their time more than money. Hit ‘em where it hurts, free time. Especially for white collar crime.
Just another true blue demoncrat... NBD!
Either this guy is shockingly incompetent, or the investigators are shockingly incompetent (or corrupt). What kind of union president only steals $32,000 from the union members? Or was this crook only in office for a week (in which case $32k is about right)?
The two tiered justice system strikes again.
