Somebody in my town's parks and rec program was using the youth soccer
budget to buy themselves personal items. Went to jail over some a few
grand worth of toys from Amazon. Yes it's insane.
My friend is on the town board in a town a few counties over. In his
town, somebody in highway or public works was buying tractor parts for a
tractor the town didn't own. It ended up at over $70,000. Basically he
bought himself an entire tractor, but by doing it one piece at a time
over a long time period he dind't raise any eyebrows. If he'd been
buying parts for a tractor model that the town actually owned, he would
have almost definitely gotten away with it.
Was Clinger the one in MASH who mailed a Jeep home one piece at a time?

$100M and you might find me living in a non extradition country, but
using the county credit card to gas up the family vehicle...
That public money is way to sacred for me to want to be in the chain
of custody.

Having been a mayor, I can tell you the books are audited every year.
It doesn't prevent fraud, but most people get caught eventually. The
books are public record. If you think there is something underhanded
going on, you should be able to prove it.
