Just Jack Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Top local Democrat Jill Harvey accused of shoplifting in Syracuse Harvey was allegedly caught on a surveillance video taking several bottles of hair products as well as a bracelet and placing them in a bag. She was confronted by Industry manager, Christopher Christman, who called police the next day . Christman told CNY Central's Jim Kenyon that when he confronted Harvey, she at first denied she was stealing, but tried to take back the products she had allegedly taken. Christman says since he pressed charges, he's been contacted by the Onondaga County District Attorney's office. He says he's also been contacted by the White House and has been told Federal officials may subpoena the surveillance video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the White House will get involved unless Jill looks like she could be Obama's aunt or something. This sounds more like a job for Eric Holder and the Oppressed Shoplifter Division of the Department of Justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in other words, you'll never see this story mentioned outside of CNY. I sure hope Obama calls her to make her feel better. She must be kinda down right now.

Fire her? Hell no, he'll promote her to head up the new Fast and Furious Shoplifting Division at DoJ. Either that or he sees hope for her in Procurement.

Wacka Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 My Assemblywoman , Mary Hayashi (a dem of course), was caught shoplifting $2500 of clothes from Nieman-Marcus at Union Square in SF. A clerk had said that a dress had disappeared a few weeks earlier when a woman tried it on. When Hayashi came in again, she told security and they followed her with the cameras. They caught her and it was a felony charge. Big surprise, here hubby is a judge and the charges were reduced to plain shoplifting. She paid $150, three years probation and has to stay at least 50 ft from the store. She gets to serve out her term because she is termed out in November. She is still thinking of running for the House of Representatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Procurement? If she's trying to get stuff for free, how's she qualified to purchase stuff at a 250% markup? The markup happens after the procurement. There is a new standard. Geting something for free isn't getting something for nothing. Free means getting it for what it should cost and then the 250% markup covers the shipping cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 The White House called.....of course they did . Actually, . We're now into "how much damage is this guy gonna do" territory. This has been the biggest week of idiocy for this Administration, or the last one(a feat thought impossible to surpass), so why wouldn't they inquire about a task for the local sheriff to finish the week off in style? If Obama had a white aunt....oh wait, doesn't he? Does she look like this lady? And, if I may be so bold, where's the standard rush to judgement? Why isn't this lady guilty as charged too? Is no one else looking forward to a beer summit at the hair stylist's shop? Seriously, it's getting to the point where I am unsure if we can make it to November. There's no way in hell you call this hair guy from a WH phone. Not smart enough to hire a lawyer to do it? Come on, man. Talk about demeaning the office. If this is how we handle this, how are we handling China? What happens when the office holder himself doesn't show any respect for the office? Should we still hold ourselves to that standard? I suppose we should...but man, this guy goes out of his way to make it difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
