| 2023-02-01 |
| [Washington Examiner] A woman in Illinois is accused of stealing at least $1.5 million in food, mostly chicken wings, from one of the state's poorest school districts. Vera Liddell, the former food service director of Harvey School District in a Chicago suburb, allegedly took over 11,000 cases of chicken wings she ordered for the district with school funding, according to a report. Liddell, 66, began stealing the food during the height of the pandemic, the report noted. "The food was never brought to the school or provided to the students," court records relating to the incident noted. Liddell allegedly started her thievery of chicken wings while the district was providing pickup meals during remote student learning, prosecutors said. |

| #7 I never had chicken wings in the cafeteria of any school I ever attended. The food service staff at CWRU had a magical way with fried chicken and ribs. Probably all banned since Big Mike's school lunch debacle. |

| #6 Harvey is a tough area. Fun fact - in February 2018, Harvey became the first city in Illinois to have its revenue garnished by the State in order to fund the city's pension liabilities which were severely underfunded. How did the Harveyites deal with this issue? The city laid off a lot of employees (including some of the 'ghost' ones). AND since 2007, Harvey has refused to audit its municipal finances as required by the state. The Illinois Securities and Exchange Commission believes there was "a scheme to divert bond proceeds for improper purposes." Good times, good times.... |

| #5 That's thrice in three days y'all got me thinking about Johnny Cash's One Piece at a Time. Guess I'll take the hint and go listen to the damn thing. Also bought to mind a wholesale theft of band instruments many years ago, and resultant "is nothing sacred?" hubbub down at the poboy shop. |

| #2 $%^& LSD's if they can't abort the child, they'll even steal the food out of a child's mouth, and starve them to make a $. It is clear Ms. Vera Liddell did not pass the practical entrance exam for Chicago political office. Because she was caught Winging It. |
