she should lose more than

she should lose more than that. Screw her. I work hard every day, I am honest, I do not steal, ...I have no benefits. This chick should be run up and jus throw out of town. At least she will get her benefits back when she goes to jail.

iBenifits

iThink she deserves her iPunishment.

Good. And I hope they get back from her anything

that was paid since February. Thieves are fired, not rewarded and lose their benefits.

This is a good start

But what about all the other thieves and criminals in our local government who have been caught. They all should be hit in their pocket books.

She choose to "supliment" her income stealing from her community.She may be crying poor in public but she sure has no problem whipping out those $100 dollars bills at the local Kmart!

"May Lose"?

I would be offended if our taxes continued to be doled out to a thief convicted of stealing tax payer's resources.

Real oversight!

I'm certainly glad the state finally got involved because Monroe county commissioners would probably have given her a raise and back pay.
