Your Democratic nominee Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and has not the time to pay back the organization she stole money from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I am sure you are as uneasy as we are and ask you to vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the insight 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 issue was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, although not to the injured person, and there was no effort to pay off this debt, no intention to remedy her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and openly talked about how difficult it was to be confronted with her own blunders.
This shows a total lack of responsibility for her own actions not to mention just how she might run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony forgery and the current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Ferry did not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren may not even be bondable to be the clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to back up Ferry only demonstrating this could lead to more issues 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 stole a check from her employer at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, made it out to herself for unknown amounts and then deposited it into her YOURURL.com personal checking account. The document said she did so without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
An arrest warrant was issued for view it Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa Co. 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 predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention period,†but it seems Staley-Ferry was not incarcerated. Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed to do.
Also, Jacinto said, sentencing for a forgery conviction might probably be restitution and probation.
She said she was unaware of the charges until she was already out official site of Arizona, although she said she did not remember exactly when she departed.
The criminal charges were dismissed in 2012, as specified in the court papers. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office called Independent Capital Group to let them know the status changes in the case.
The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she did not remember the exact details, she rejects the charge.
“I am alerted to that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, that was many years ago.â€
Lauren stated the criminal charges had been “misdirected†and that there was “nothing there†in regard to the charge.
