Pardoned for a Thousand Years

Former Maine Education Association employee Catherine Crosier was sentenced to six months in federal prison for embezzling more than $45,000 from the union over an 18-month period.

U.S. District Judge John Woodcock was appalled by the crime, telling Crosier during sentencing:

"It was as if you walked into a classroom, marched up to a teacher and grabbed
the teacher’s pocket or pocketbook and took money out of it. Then, you went to
the next classroom and the next classroom and did the same thing."

How does he think the union got the money in the first place?
