Politicians - in Ontario, Canada
Politicians seem to be the same all over...
Sean Carroll recently reported at Canada's 13WHAM.com:
"Hamilton, who pled guilty to a Misdemeanor Driving While Intoxicated criminal charge last year, is in her second term as an At Large Member of Canandaigua’s City Council. Canandaigua Police arrested Hamilton on Wednesday after a three month investigation into her unemployment benefits filings.
As a result of that investigation police believe that Hamilton knowingly filed for, and collected, unemployment benefits from November 2009 through the summer of 2010 while at the same time drawing a taxpayer-funded salary through her position as a councilmember. Canandaigua City Council members earn $4,529 a year before taxes.
If convicted of the felony charge she now faces, Hamilton would have to resign her elected seat."
