Assuming she is a rat partisan and/or black, of course......not going to read the story and find out. If she were a white repub she would be thrown into the fed slammer and the key lost.

And the liberals tell us that voter fraud is not a problem, and continually ask, where are the lawsuits against individuals who commit voter fraud? They talk about these issues when the liberals say we don’t need voter ID laws.

She ran the Middle Smithfield Township golf course. I assume that this was a government owned facility. Was she required to live in the Township to have a Township job. That’s a very common requirement. Registering to vote in the Township whould put her on the voter rolls and could be checked by the Township officials. Sounds like she got caught, probably because someone is pissed that her golf course lost $800K.

Pocono Record -Middle Smithfield Township settles harassment lawsuit

There are allegations that she was having a relationship with a town supervisor who hired her for a management position despite the fact that she had no relevant experience. When she was fired for mismanagement, she then sued for sexual harassment.

Do not know it any of this is true but, if it is, I hope she gets nailed to the wall.

At least she was named properly, her picture in the Pocono paper makes her last name, Pugh, very appropriate. She's guilty as sin.

Now that is a great racket. Have sex to get a job you can’t do. Steal like crazy from the job because what? The guy you have sex with is going to fire you? Then, when it gets real bad, file a sexual harassment suit against the guy you had sex with. And it will all be taxpayer money. Smart girl. Hang him.

? Robyn Pugh and attorney Jim Swetz enter District Judge Germano’s office in Smithfield Township on Wednesday, July, 18, 2012, for Pugh’s preliminary hearing on voter fraud charges. Pugh waived the hearing.

Pugh oversaw Middle Smithfield’s country club golf course, which lost about $800,000 in 2011 before it was closed. The golf course, Country Club of the Poconos, was reopened this year, but the restaurant remains closed. Two of the supervisors who served during Pugh’s employment, Chairman Robert Spano and Scott Schaller, were forced to resign after contempt charges against them were filed in Monroe County Court.

Ahhh ... her assets are up front. Two of'em.
Who needs relevant experience.

FTS:

Robyn Pugh was charged with perjury, false swearing in official matters and unlawful voting. She could receive up to 10 years in prison and fines of $20,000.

The DA alleged that Pugh registered to vote in Middle Smithfield Township and voted there four times when she was actually living in Stroud Township.
