Wow! Stealing $1,180,000 from public servants retirement accounts is pretty darn low. 10 years doesn’t sound adequate.
Shame on him our first responders already don’t get paid enough, people like this man should be thrown in jail.
Wow, just wow!

Argyles fire chief votes Republican no doubt. Grifting is their birthright.
So disgusting. Karma that he was arrested on his return from Vegas. Too bad they didn’t grab him on the way out. 😠
Sad. So sad. $350,000 for gambling. Arrested on arrival coming back from Vegas. Stealing $ from his colleagues to fund his habits. People can be soooo shallow. It ceases to amaze me.
