We gave the police a license to steal and Harig validated it. A bigger man like Matt Dillon never would've seized ole Bens thangs to use for himself even if they said he could.

maybe he was getting the stuff he charged for Mrs Tuttle? lol lol as far as im concerned he should be fired, made to pay the money back with 5% interest, the city always charges us interest when we owe the city so it should be the same with him.

We have only ourselves to blame for this culture wherein civic leaders blatantly defile the public trust. We've been letting them get away with murder for so long, they probably think it's expected of them.
A conflict of interest here, some corporate influence there, a slap on the wrist for something that you or I would be nailed to the cross for, and where is the public outcry?
Who is willing to give up a little of their free time to speak out against all this and take action? Nobody, that's who.

...now one in Austin...whew! How can people keep up with these crooks?
QUOTE AUSTIN — The wife of an Austin police lieutenant is being accused of embezzling funds while working as the clerk-treasurer for the city of Mapleview.
Dawn Marie Mueller, 46, a current part-time employee with the Mower County Auditor’s Office and wife of lieutenant John Mueller, was accused Wednesday in Mower County court of one count of embezzlement of public funds, one court of theft by check, two counts of theft and two counts of misconduct by a public employee.
The accusations come on the heels of an audit completed by the Office of the State Auditor on the city of Mapleview. The audit revealed a number of holes in the city of Mapleview finances between 2000 and 2008, including bank overdrafts totaling $6,186 and missing funds that were supposed to be transferred from the city to fire relief assistance. The audit also uncovered private use of funds between 2001-08.
In a taped July 6, 2010 interview with investigators, Mueller said she had used city funds for personal purchases, but that others, including a former city council member and a clerk-treasurer, had also made similar purchases.
Mueller also said she issued a payroll check two days in a row — on July 1 and July 2, 2007 — one valued at $525 and the other at $507. Both checks were cashed. According to the complaint, Mueller could not explain why. A similar incident occurred again on June 1 and June 5, 2008, with checks valued at $421 and $295.
According to the complaint, the OSA found no transfers of funds made from the city of Mapleview to the fire relief assistance from 2005-07.
When asked about the transfer of funds from the city to fire relief assistance, Mueller said in the taped interview that the Minnesota Department of Revenue would deposit funds in the city checking account. The city would then write a check to relief assistance and relief assistance would put it into their account. According to the complaint, the account was short $26,801.
Mueller was also accused of spending $41 at a Staples store for the purchase of school supplies. While Mueller said she does have a school-aged child, she said the supplies were for the county.
Neither John nor Dawn Mueller could be reached by phone Thursday.
The OSA also revealed bank overdrafts between 2002-08 totaling $6,186, according to the complaint.
Mueller will appear in court on Sept. 23.
How often do these audits occur?  I wonder what one done here would produce? Do they do it for city and county at the same time?

If you were looking at accepting the job of City Manager for Albert Lea, what things would you look at before accepting or rejecting an offer of employment?
If you did accept the offer, there would be a question of can anyone work with Quick Draw, the city finance director? I quess it has been said that Ms Moen had stated that she wasn't going to work with Norman before the issue with the city credit card. So should we have been asking Ms Moen for her input before considering who her boss was to be?
Are there other "Dead Eye" department managers that will need to be given wide birth by any new City Manager? This in addition to looking at the local economy, and buget pressures are all things I would be looking at if I were to consider a job requiring relocation.
I'm not saying that Norman appeared to be up to the task, but it is kind of hard to get started in a job when the team has it in for you from the start.
