The Democratic candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a criminal offense and has not taken the time to actually return to the small business she had stolen 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 knowledge that Ferry had taken a check from her place of employment and made it out to herself. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was finally revealed, Ferry apologized, although not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no intention to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and openly complained how hard it was to be confronted with her own blunders.
This shows a total lack of accountability for her own behavior much less the way she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery and our current County Clerk's office continues to be without corruption.
2. Lauren did not pay back her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be the clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only demonstrating this could lead to more issues for Will County
