Time to let Timmy slide. As Inigo Montoya said, "There's not a lot of money in revenge."

Always Barbara Woods going after Hanretty....The State law is the State law on pensions, so basically, so what....How about chasing down some of the Woodside Elementary school board members who were elected to pay attention?

His pension should be intercepted as payment toward restitution. Ask the DA if that may be done despite the pendency of the appeal.

Going to get bashed for this post because people will be able to claim moral high ground, but here goes...
It is always interesting to me to see people say a public pension should be pulled for a crime. Has anybody ever lost social security over a crime? In fact, we give criminals SS to criminals for being 'mental ill' or otherwise incapacitated. How about we let public employees get what they earned, but penalize them with jail/prison just like we do with everybody else?

I think this is a good thing, because it means he should be able to pay restitution.

Another example of too many School Boards with to many administrators collecting too much money from the taxpayers. Even with only one school in the Woodside district, they fox still got the hens!!

I generally agree with your points, GoodDog, and with Hmmm as well.

And what do you all think the restitution will came from?? All of It can't be taken at once or do you suggest he collect welfare until the restitution has been paid in full. I agree with Hmmm as well.
