From the party of choice

Unless that choice means risking jail time for trying to get your kids into a not so dead end school district..............

An Akron woman was sentenced to 10 days in the Summit County Jail, three years of probation following her release and 80 hours of community service for being convicted of falsifying residency records so that her two children could attend Copley-Fairlawn schools.

Common Pleas Judge Patricia A. Cosgrove, who handed down the sentence Tuesday afternoon in a packed courtroom with Cleveland's major television networks recording the proceedings, ordered Kelley Williams-Bolar, 40, to begin serving the sentence immediately.

Williams-Bolar, who was standing before the bench with her attorney, Kerry M. O'Brien, nearly collapsed into the arms of sheriff's deputies as she was led away, sobbing loudly, to begin serving her jail term.

More......

As an aside, the Gekko's have never had kids in our the public school district, a district currently under fiscal emergency and under state control for not passing a levy since the beginning of time. We just received our latest property tax bill. Out of curiosity, how much would be a "fair" amount for us to pay to support those schools?

Sad. What's this womans crime? Some say falsication. I say it's being a US citizen. If she were an unemployed illegal immigrant claiming to be a resident at the same address the entire left wing machine would be protesting in the streets.
