| #6 Comptroller in small towns is often a glorified accounting clerk job, not well paid, and sometimes is part time. I don't have solid data but I wouldn't be surprised if that meant a majority of them are women. |

| #5 Interesting that so many of these municipal embezzling cases seem to involve employees of the female persuasion. |

| #4 You're correct, Spot. $53M SHOULD have been noticed, even over 20-odd years. Do the math, that's over 2.4 million average a year. Our town (over 4 times the population of Dixon) would notice even 4% of that in a big hurry. |

| #1 I grew up not too far from Dixon. It's not that big. How could they not miss that amount of money? |
