Waukesha — A former Waukesha County account clerk who stole more than $300,000 donated by senior citizens for their meals at 12 nutrition sites over a six-year period was found guilty Thursday of the thefts.

Kham Sisaleumsak - who told authorities she gambled away the money - was charged in February 2010 with 13 counts of felony theft in a business setting.

....................

Cummings, in a memo about two months later to the County Board, noted that sheriff's investigators said that figure now reached $360,000.

Sisaleumsak had worked for the county's Department of Aging as an account clerk since July 1990. She had been employed by the county since 1988.

1. Ryan gets support, suggestions at budget listening session (Waukesha again)...

I imagine the local taxpayers pay for his police protection!

His listening tour took him to Mukwonago later Monday afternoon and is scheduled to continue Tuesday and for several days next week.

Under the watchful eyes of 10 police officers, Ryan told the filled-to-capacity meeting room, with a couple dozen others lining an outer hallway, that America was at "the fork in the road" and that his plan will cut spending and control government while promoting economic growth..............

2. She was working there for over 20 years and they just now

caught her?? What auditors have been turning a blind eye? That averages out to over $17,000 per year..and no one missed it?
If it's just the 6 year period they speak about in the article, that's $60,000.00 per year..I still ask..why didn't anyone notice it sooner?
