What about the secretaries that he gave the money to?Do they just get off scott free?They had to have known what was going on;did they claim this money on their w-2 forms? It just doesn't seem right that they got away with it.How is it that because of his health he didn't think he should spend time in jail?I DON'T remember him asking people how their health was before sending them to jail or prison.

Also he didn't seem to have any health problems when he was stealing money or spending it! They all need to pay because everyone new what they were doing the whole time. Gosh.. and none of them had the decency to report what was going on.. No guilt trips off any sort.. Some people have completely lost their moral compass! It makes me mad then sad..

What did I tell all of you in the other topic? That's what you get for re-electing these scumbags year after year. This is just proof! They should get rid of all that accepted the dirty money also for not saying anything! Clean House!!!!!

I also agree with Ene there should be no special treatment for that scumbag! They don't offer other criminals special treatment so why should he be treated any different?

To Citizen, You are right we need to stop re-electing them and that goes for the city council and the school board. Just think if joe did that with money, the city council is doing with our land. Like all this people that buy houses from old people that are losing their homes because of taxes. The people that are in the city council are the ones with the information and they don't let the public know. They buy the land for pennies. Like Lemon,Elizondo,Johnson Now you tell me how Fucked Up is this town. This People Talk about all this gang,and how to get rid of them ,well there is know different.

Really you think that stealing over a million dollars is a mistake or accident!! Babababullsh!t!! He choose to do it! You must be related or one of the guilty bimbos that still works in this town! Your so stupid u should really think about what your gonna say before you start typing. Sorry he your pal.. But the town of Alice wants to eat him alive.. Can't blame them.. CRIMINAL CRIMINAL ROVON..
