Your Democratic candidate Lauren Staley Ferry has committed a felony and also hasn't taken the time to actually return to the organization 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 another candidate. For those who do not have the knowledge that Ferry had stolen a check from her place of employment and forged his signature. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no intention to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how difficult it was to be blasted with her own blunders.
This shows a lack of responsibility for her behavior not to mention just how she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery and our current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Lauren did not pay back her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren may not even be bondable to be the clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to back up Ferry only demonstrating this might lead to more issues for Will County
More news.
A Will County Board member running for county clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but did not appear in the courtroom for the case.
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 stole a check from her employer at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, filled it out to herself for her comment is here unknown amounts and then deposited it into her personal checking account. The documents reported she did this 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 Co. More Help Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry claimed 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 time,†but that it appears Staley-Ferry was never 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 on a forgery conviction might probably be restitution and probation.
Lauren said she did not know about the charges until she was already out of Arizona, although she said she did not recall exactly when she departed.
The criminal 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 know the change in the status in the case.
The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she cannot recall the exact details, she rejects the charge.
“I am conscious of that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, that was in the past.â€
Lauren stated the criminal charges was “misdirected†and that there were “nothing there†in go right here regard to the charges.
