For the Vermont State Police, the Vermont State Auditor's Office, and the Vermont Attorney General's office. It's been over a year since the town clerk in the island hamlet of Isle La Motte confessed to embezzling money. Shazaam!! In swoops the press, and state agencies who confiscate records and vow to get to the bottom.
NOTHING HAS HAPPENED SINCE! The poor town has not had any closure, or the benefit of knowing what really happened to their money. Are Vermont's state agencies incapable of this investigation? Who's dropping the ball here? Why on earth is it taking so long? She confessed to taking the money!!
Funny thing is a month after this stunning revelation, a town clerk over in New York was busted embezzling $150,000. Guess what? That case is all wrapped up and the guilty party is in jail. Why the heck is it taking Vermont so long to do the same? Does the state just not care because the crime it didn't occur in Chittenden county? Because now it's old news?
You'd think that one of the "gold towns" of Grand Isle County that sends so much revenue to the states coiffures would warrant a speedy and thorough investigation. It would appear that the issue has been backburnered indefinately. Why leave a whole town hanging? It may be a year later, but there are still some pretty hard feelings on the island.
Had this been Chittenden County, the investigation would have been concluded last summer.
