Former Vermillion Township Official Faces Federal Fraud Charge
Vermillion, MN (KROC-AM News) - A former elected official in Dakota County is facing a federal fraud charge.
The US Attorney for Minnesota says 70-year-old Maryann Stoffel is accused of misappropriating over $650,000 in public funds while she served as the Clerk of the Township of Vermillion. According to the charges, the Hastings woman would forge the signatures of other Township officials or have Township officials sign blank checks by claiming she was using them to pay Township bills. Instead, the prosecutors say the money was transferred into her bank account.
It is alleged the theft of the public funds took place between December 2012 and October of last year. During that time, Stoffel allegedly covered up the fraud scheme by excluding the unauthorized payments to herself on the township s annual report.
In the first audio below, Joe Biden is heard promising to change policing. He doesn’t want the people he is speaking with to get “too far ahead of ourselves.” The reason? They’ve been labeled ‘defund the police.’ However, in the clip, he wants their advice on whether he should do it speak about changing policing before January 5th.
January 5th is the date of the two senatorial runoff elections in Georgia. The runoffs will result in Republicans somewhat controlling the runaway Democrat socialists, or Democrat socialists will have full rein.
Don’t worry, Biden says–once the Georgia elections are over, we can come out of the closet: “But I guarantee you, there will be a full-blown commission. I guarantee you it’s a major, major, major element.”
