No Chit....This latest one was an attorney until 1993 when he was "Disbarred" for Theft......Maybe he and SP can be Cell-Mates?
The courts slap these thieves on the hands, rather than cutting them off these days and there in lays the problem. That and the fact to many are all about me, meself, and I rather than being considerate of others. We now live in an entitlement society, it's just become pathetic.............

Agreed. Dui is a mistake. ...bad decision on his part but doesn't make him a bad person. We all make mistakes. But most of us don't decide to take stuff from innocent people and businesses. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to catch someone trying to steal from my shop some day; )

It is a shame for sure. Now our Governor is proposing MORE of a slap on the wrist method when dealing with "property crimes" in other words thieves. To keep the prison populations down he wants to educate them and let them know what they did was bad without costing the state any money by not even putting them in jail. You want to save money Governor how about a 50 cent bullet to deal with these folks. Bleeding heart morons.

Uuummmm????
Seems like people forgot what started this thread…$5500 OF OUR SNOWMOBILE MONEY STOLEN!!! How do we get it back?? WE DONT AND WE WONT. Who cares about a mayor getting a DUI? Not me, what I care about is the money that was stolen from us which we will NEVER get back!!
Only been sledding for a few years now but seems like every year we hear about this BS and I'm getting tired of it especially when I even cough up a little extra on my tabs for grooming and "improvements" then hear about this? Come on!!
Continue on I am stepping off my soap box, now let's all pray for more snow then what's forecasted!!

If they hired a known criminal with a history of theft I would say that the missing funds should not be a liability to providing service.
The mayor post was only to demonstrate that for a small town they sure have a high profile people in the community that require legal service from local lawyers. If you are a lawyer you hear the cash machine ringing....

I think the latest I heard is that all but $642 has been paid back to date.
I think this thief thought the Kitttitas County Park Park and Rec. board was going to be disbanded due to lack of funding (This has been threatened many times)......Just a guess, but he probably figured people would forget about the money donated....Thankfully, some very dedicated local WSSA Officers were keeping an eye on things.....

I would hate to be that guy. He would be in a world of hurt! And in Cle Elum's defense Parker was from Ronald
While I agree with you and would NEVER condone theft, too many drunk drivers steal innocent people from Families. IMO, DUI is just as bad as the thieves that steal from us honest, hard working people.

Ya dui is TERRIBLE. My only point is that dui is usually a really dumb mistake. Theft is usually pre meditated. ...especially in situations like these. The people are planning ahead on how they're going to screw over everyone else.

When you see the carnage I see at the emergency room from drunk drivers, you kind of have a different perspective. The lives they destroy and families they devastate are in my unsolicited opinion (IMUO) well beyond that of a common thief. They take theft to a hole new level; loss of a limb (no more hand to run that throttle with), livelihood (no job to make the money to support that sledding habit), or life altogether! Keeping in mind that we didn't just discover that driving drunk is not a good combination! We've known for decades, advertise it all over, offer free or reduced rate rides home and it still happens. Just some passing thoughts I had about the DUI side topic we have going on here. Not trying to cause trouble or hurt feelings. Cheers!! Marc

I hear ya. ...i guess it's not really something you can classify into a general topic. It's one thing if someone blows a .09 and never had it happen before. If you're completely hammered and decide to drive home. ...that's way more than a mistake. The possible repurcussions of that are far worse than anything a thief could do. That being said, i have no idea about the situation surrounding the mayor's dui. I just hope the justice system gets things right this time around and that everyone gets the punishment they deserve.
