FORT MYERS, Fla. - A former Department of Children & Families worker was charged with defrauding the state of more than $93,000, including more than $50,000 in child care subsidies that she directed to the mother of a friend, officials said.

Jesenia Gonzalez, 26, of Cape Coral, was charged Monday with six counts of scheming to defraud, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Tuesday.

Investigators said she also falsified four client applications for economic assistance and directed the benefits to herself and Soria.

In one case, Gonzalez told a needy woman that she didn't qualify for food stamps, then approved her household to get the benefits.

(Jeb's administration's in other trouble at the DFC, if you've been following it: very corrupt officials at the top, as well.)

1. She's small time, but could stand in for cheney.

Then again, if she got busted, she's probably not a repug.

We are going to change history -- we're going to have a ton of fun doing it.

2. Hi, there, Nambe! Well, everyone has to start somewhere.....

She's probably just getting the hang of Republican entrepreneurship.

3. I am had my own run in with Guiseppe Betta DCF IG

he is an ex-Marine that puts kids last. All he cares about is his $$$$$.

Background on Guiseppe "I love those Govt Checks" Betta. He is a retired Marine Col. that puts down around $50,000 from the US Govt. His IG post pays around $90,000 and oh by the way his wife gets a check from the State of Florida too..... Around $200,000 per year. Too bad his only care is protecting DCF and it's workers.....
