Alabama Ordered To Pay
$177K Back Pay To A Woman For A Non-Existent Job
A "Justice is blind, but only
because it has its head up its butt," bonehead award
Montgomery,
Alabama, County Circuit Court Judge Truman Hobbs Jr. has ordered
Alabama to pay former state legislator Sue Schmitz $177K in back pay for being "improperly
fired" just days after she was convicted in Federal court of several
felonies including receiving pay for the non-existent
job.
"We're going to do everything we know to do to keep from paying Sue
Schmitz one more dollar," said Bradley Byrne, chancellor of the state's
two-year college system. "We have more uses for $177,000 than
giving it to someone who did nothing to earn it."
Schmitz was found guilty Tuesday of three counts of mail fraud and four
other counts, one being the collecting of pay for the
non-existent job.
Gives new meaning to the term, "criminal justice."
