Finally Someone Else "Gets It"; Sun Journal: Embezzlement rising in Maine

Embezzlement rising in Maine

Kathryn Skelton,

David Holt is more cynical now.
The longtime Norway town manager worked with Deborah Wyman while she was slowly, secretly stealing $117,592 from the town as its community development director. Wyman went to prison in 2006 and got out in 2007.
"One of the lessons that I learned is just because you know and like people doesn't mean that they won't steal from you," Holt said. "Maybe they need the money, maybe they have a sick child or maybe they're self-obsessed. There's lots of reasons why people steal."
In Maine, inside crime seems to be on the rise.

"More willingness by police and the state to investigate and prosecute."

Except in Lisbon where you have a 30 plus year veteran of the Police Department as Chief of Police micromanaging every investigation so that crucial evidence is tainted or not disclosed in an ethical manner to solve the crime. Why? Because he is involved period.
