Ex-bookkeeper at Erie County deeds office charged with stealing $1,075

The now-former bookkeeper at the Erie County office that handles property records has been charged with stealing $1,075 from the office over 10 months, until the county fired her in August.

her pay was so low she had to steal to maintain her dignity and self respect....besides all cash receipts are supposed to go in Mary's bottom left drawer

Say what you want about County Controller Mary Schaff, it was good to see her take an interest in what was going on down the hall at the recorder of deeds office. In contrast, the former controller (Sue Weber) spent the majority of her time in the Millcreek Municipal building trying to settle scores with political foes.

Maybe Ed Palatella will win a Pulitzer Prize for his investigative reporting. Then a book deal and a movie. Woodward Bernstein and Palatella. Oh yeah.

So someone took a small amount of money, got caught, fired, and charged. Sounds like old Ed wants to tar everyone at the courthouse for the actions of one person.

Meanwhile, Joe Sinnott and his thugs are still off limits.

Anyone know if this person is related to local Erie running legend Barb Filutze or Erie City Police officer Geoff Filutze?

I found it interesting that there was no accountability for the cash. Would you have felt better if she stole the $150,000?

There is accountability for the cash. That's why the person was caught and fired. There is no story.

E P is just another ETN yellow "journalist".
