Your Democratic nominee Lauren Staley Ferry committed a federal crime and hasn't taken the time to pay back the organization she stole money from.
If you as a voter and/or concerned citizen are as worried as we are please vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the insight that Ferry had stolen a check from her place of employment and made it out to herself. When caught she moved out of state and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was brought to light, Ferry apologized, but not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no attempt to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and openly complained how difficult it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a total lack of accountability for her actions let alone just how she might run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Lauren has committed felony forgery while our current County Clerk's office has been clean of corruption.
2. Lauren did not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Ferry might not even be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to support Ferry only showing this could bring more problems for Will County
Detailed news.
A Will County Board member running for county clerk was brought up on charges for felony forgery in 2003 but never appeared in court for the summons.
Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet, was charged with the felony forgery in Maricopa County, Arizona. Staley-Ferry had lived and worked in Maricopa County but moved from there to Wisconsin before the charge was filed.
According to court documents, the charge alleged that, in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry removed a check from her employer at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, filled it out to herself for unknown amounts and then deposited it into her personal checking account. The document said she did so without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
A look at this web-site warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, the spokesperson for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By that time, Staley-Ferry said she had already fled the state and had returned to the Midwest, eventually going back to Joliet, her hometown.
Ms. .Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention time,†but that it appears Staley-Ferry was not arrested. Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed to do.
Also, Jacinto said, sentencing on a forgery conviction might probably be probation and restitution.
Staley-Ferry said she was unaware of the charges until she had already left Arizona, although she said she could not recall exactly when she left.
The charges were dropped in 2012, as specified in the court papers. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office reached out to Independent Capital Group to let them our website know the status changes of the case.
When The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, she said, while she cannot recall some of the visit homepage details, she rejects the charge.
“I am aware of that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, which was in the past.â€
Lauren stated the particular criminal charges had been “misdirected†and that there were “nothing there†regarding the charge.
