The Democrat candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a criminal offense and has not taken the time to return to the small business she embezzled 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 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 issue was finally revealed, Ferry apologized, but not to the victim, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no intention to remedy her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly lamented how hard it was to be blasted with her own blunders.
This only goes to show a total lack of responsibility for her own actions aside from the way she might run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Lauren has committed felony forgery and our current County Clerk's office continues to be without such corruption.
2. Lauren did not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Ferry might not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only showing this might lead to more issues for Will County
Detailed news.
