The Democratic candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry committed a felony and hasn't 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 knowledge that Ferry had stolen a check from her place of employment and made it out to herself. When caught she moved out of state 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 effort to pay off this debt, no intention to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how hard it was to be blasted with her own crimes.
This only goes to show a lack of accountability for her own actions not to mention the way she might run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before voting:
1. Lauren has perpetrated felony forgery and the current Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Lauren has not repaid her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren may not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to back up Ferry only demonstrating this could lead to more issues for Will County
More news.
A Will County Board member running for the County Clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but did not appear in court for the case.
Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet, was charged with the felony forgery in Maricopa County, Arizona. Staley-Ferry had lived and worked in Maricopa County but moved from there to Wisconsin before the charge was filed.
From the court documents, the charge alleged in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry removed a check from her employer at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, made it out to herself for an unknown amount and then deposited it into her personal checking account.

An arrest warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, the spokesperson for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By that time, Staley-Ferry said she had already fled the state and had see this site returned to the explanation Midwest, eventually going back to Joliet, her hometown.
.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention time,†but that it appears Staley-Ferry was not incarcerated. Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed to do.
Also, the Sheriff said, sentencing for a forgery conviction would likely be probation and restitution.

The criminal charges were dismissed in 2012, as specified in the court papers. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office called Independent Capital Group to notify them of the change in the status have a peek at these guys of the case.

Lauren stated the particular criminal charges was “misdirected†and therefore there were “nothing there†regarding the charges.
