Neil S. Rodgers, a former D.C. government official, was sentenced Tuesday for his role in the misappropriation of $110,000 earmarked for D.C.'s Children at Risk and Drug Prevention Fund to cover a deficit for the 51st State Inaugural Ball for President Obama's inauguration in 2009. Rodgers, found guilty of fraud in March, was sentenced to 36 days (served on weekends) plus two years of probation. Rodgers must also repay the entire $110,000 as restitution for his crime.Thirty six days in jail for stealing $110,000 from kids drug programs? Ain't Washington D.C. great?
One day you wash up on the beach, wet and naked. Another day you wash back out. In between, the scenery changes constantly.
