The charity executive once honored by Volvo
as “America’s Greatest Hometown Hero” for her work with troubled teens is now charged with stealing $250,400 from the Baychester Youth Council. The $114,000
administrator spent the money on a home-entertainment system installed in her
apartment, $4,990 to pay her rent and personal hotel bills and a $3,000 loan
to her charity’s board chair to cover personal legal fees. Until the recent
audit the state Education Department approved all the shady payments despite the lack of documentation. (NY Post)
