Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 God Bless Sheriff Harder and his deputies. Shame on all of you who use things like this for your own agendas, you know who you are! The county exec is "appalled" conveniently around election time, after she approved this. Anyone who knows the Sheriff knows he is an honorabe, good man. It is sad when the ugliness of politics rears its head. Things like this only strengthen my resolve to support peple who chose NOT to engage in dirty pool. It's is appalling to thing someone would go so far as saying the sheriff should be immune to the laws he enforces. He should have known it was against the law. If he didn't ignorance doesn't exempt him or anyone else for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 misappropriation n. the intentional, illegal use of the property or funds of another person for one's own use or other unauthorized purpose, particularly by a public official, a trustee of a trust, an executor or administrator of a dead person's estate, or by any person with a responsibility to care for and protect another's assets (a fiduciary duty). It is a felony (a crime punishable by a prison sentence). (See: fiduciary, embezzlement, theft, larceny) But it WAS authorized. Barb Fiala signed the check!

Show me the law where it says confiscated money can not be used to purchase gifts for employees. Oh. That's right. There isn't one. It may not have been a smart thing to to, but he followed proper channels. Too bad those who are now criticizing it didn't catch it when they were suposed to.

Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Fiala may be a kicking horse but apparently she is a blind one. Who signs checks without knowing what they are for Barb? ps I am surprised Harder didn't put a medal on each chair to go with the monogramming, Lord knows he loves his hardware!

Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Its all good, I'll have a surprise waiting for them at Endwell Greens. I can't wait now, this is gonna be sweet. With woods everywhere surrounding that place, they won't be able to catch me. Watch out Harder (or is it Softer, you sad fat and limp old man... also why don't you let the taxpayers know that you are on Viagra, afterall they are paying for it...) I hope Garo keeps his website logs. If this isn't a threat that needs investigating I don't know what is. The writer of this note is a total moron?

Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Are you serious? Absolutely serious. He bought gifts for his employees. It may not have been the brightest thing to do, but I think it's hilarious that all these people complaining about it are doing it in hindsight. They let it go through to begin with. It's just as much their fault as it is Harder's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Want to bet that nowhere on the paperwork did it say "Christmas gifts"! Think about it. I bet somewhere in the invoice it said "chairs" or "monogram". It obviously said SOMETHING out of the ordinary, because it's clearly stated in the article that the invoice was flagged. They should have looked into it, and fully admit that they didn't. Who signs checks for flagged invoices, never looks into the matter any further, then tries to divert all the blame?

He did not use the best judgement, but no crime was committed. His political opponents, through the Co exec office, are beginning their dirty politics. Anyone criticizing him for buying small christmas presents for his employees may do so, but you vermin that are calling it criminal should be ashamed of yourselves. I am a retired attorney with over 34 years experience. I defy anyone to point out what statures were violated by this. Put up or shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just as much their fault as it is Harder's. He ADMITS he bought GIFTS for employees with money that has RESTRICTIONS on how it is to be used. Buying CHRISTMAS GIFTS is not on the list of approved purchases. Read the article. And do you really think they would have broke this story if they hadn't already done their homework? Your thinking is way to shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Consider this a vermin "putting up" I guess. The resident experienced Esquire says: "Anyone criticizing him for buying small christmas presents for his employees may do so, but you vermin that are calling it criminal should be ashamed of yourselves." Are you using sneaky legalese there when you say "criticizing him for buying small christmas presents"? I would argue that we are not in fact "criticizing him for buying small christmas presents." The fact is we are criticizing him for using taxpayer's funds to buy those "small christmas presents." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Yeah, this taxpaying vermin would have appreciated at least having some input on those chairs, for instance, I would have liked my name on some of them. Something like "Office of the Vermin MILF." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2pelo Honey Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Apparently someone has the idea that anything anyone does could be all right, as long as someone else doesn't stop it, and because they don't, they are equally guilty.

Really twisted logic. How is that twisted? You think it's ok to allow something to happen, then cry about it AFTER you're caught for letting it slide? THAT is twisted. Fiala and her Harder-hating cronies should have looked into the matter when it was brought to them initially. It's too late to put all the blame on him now. THEY are the ones in charge. THEY had the responsibilty of conducting checks and balances. That's THEIR job. With all the complaining they do about the money he spends on the department, I'm shocked that they don't carefully monitor every penny he spends.

I think it wasn't very smart of him, but I do not think he should be hung out to dry over it. That said, I do NOT believe, in any situation, that just because someone doesn't CATCH someone doing something, that they are just as guilty as the perpetrator.

Catching this stuff is their JOB. Watching out for the taxpayer is their JOB. The fact that they didn't do their job, and they're NOW crying foul makes them just as guilty as Harder for doing it.
