Your Democratic candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry committed a felony and hasn't taken the time to pay back the organization she stole money 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 awareness that Ferry had stolen a check from a former employer and forged his signature. 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 victim, and there was no effort to pay off this debt, no intention to fix her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly complained how difficult it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This shows a lack of accountability for her own actions not to mention the way she may run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft while the current County Clerk's office continues to be without such corruption.
2. Ferry has not pay back her debt to her former boss.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to stand behind Ferry only showing this could lead to more issues for Will County

A Will County Board member running for the County Clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but never appeared in the courtroom for the summons.

The criminal charges were dropped 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 let them know the change click in the status of the case.
The Herald-News reached out to Staley-Ferry on Thursday, she said, while she did not remember some of the details, she rejects the charge.
“I am aware of that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, which was in try this website the past.â€
Lauren said the charges had been “misdirected†and therefore there was “nothing there†regarding the charges.
