Former state Republican Rep. Stephen LaRoque headed to prison

[guno]

Another republican weasel goes down

LaRoque, 51, a former Republican state representative from Kinston was given the 24-month sentence Wednesday morning. He plead guilty earlier this year to a criminal charge related to the embezzlement of $300,000 from the East Carolina Development Company, an economic development non-profit he founded.

Federal prosecutors believe LaRoque, who founded the East Carolina Development Company in 1997, used the non-profit and a sister charity, the Piedmont Development Company, to draw down millions in U.S. Department of Agriculture rural lending money. He then used that money, in part, to pay himself large salaries and buy cars, jewelry, and property.

That's just it. It isn't.

Its another lamo thread brought to you by a Dem trying to show that the Reps are bad.

Of course he won't show you all the Dems that have been arrested for various crimes.

Op's an idiot.

Just another crook in a suit who bought his way out of a proper sentence. 2 years isn't even a slap on the wrist. The North Carolina taxpayers lost $2.7 mln to this criminal.
