Your Democratic nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a felony and also has not taken the time to actually pay back the company she stole money from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I believe you are as concerned as we are and ask you to vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the awareness that Ferry had taken a check from a former employer and forged his signature. When caught she moved out of state and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, although not to the injured person, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly lamented how hard it was to be blasted with her own blunders.
This shows a total lack of accountability for her behavior much less the way she may run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before voting:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft and the current Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Lauren did not pay back her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Ferry might not even be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only showing this might bring more problems for Will County
More news.
A Will County Board member running for the County Clerk was brought up on charges for felony forgery in 2003 but did not appear in the courtroom 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.
From the court documents, the charge alleged in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry removed a check from her employer at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, filled it you can try these out out to herself for an unknown amount and then deposited it into her personal checking account. The documents reported she did this he has a good point without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
A 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.
.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case was before the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention period,†but it seems Staley-Ferry was never arrested. Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed to do.
Also, Jacinto view it said, sentencing on a forgery conviction might probably be restitution and probation.
Lauren said she did not know about the charges until she had already left Arizona, although she said she did not recall exactly when she left.
The criminal charges were dismissed in 2012, according to court papers. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office reached out to Independent Capital Group to let them know the change in the status in the case.
The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, she said, while she cannot recall several of the details, she rejects the charge.
“I am conscious of that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, that was many years ago.â€
She said the charges had been “misdirected†and that there was “nothing there†regarding the charges.
