Human nature, Oregon-style
Another fine state employee goes down, this time for alleged embezzlement in the high six figures. Wow, the feds around here say they have actually caught a public employee stealing public money. That doesn't happen too often -- at least, not the feds-catching part.
The suspect, Brent Crosson, worked as an accountant in the state Education Department, and these documents appear to place him in the state Energy Department in 2003 and 2004. According to the O, he stands accused of using a front company called CGA Wholesale as part of his nefarious scheme. That company even had a website, www.cgawholesale.com, although it's defunct now. The domain registration is listed here. Check out what else CGA Wholesale has been into.

“Federal education funds are intended for students and schools in the state of Oregon,” [Castillo] said. “I am neither judge nor jury — but if Mr. Crosson is convicted, I hope the penalty is severe.”
Great Castillo.
Thanks for confirming that you aren't "the judge nor the jury."
Now would you also confirm for everyone that you are absolutely clueless as our state superintendent?
I used to hear people talk about Castillo as a potential candidate for Gov. in 2010.
Right now that idea seems about as promising as Erik Sten running for state Treasurer.

Castillo had no qualifications for the job she curtrently screws up.
All she had was an alliance.

Lol.
Castillo used to do TV.
Don't you get it?
TV! In Eugene!
If you saw half the @(#$ coming out of her shop in the form of Press Releases...you'd realize that "education" is not a process. It's a union function.
Get over it. You keep worrying about the result, not the process. The process is pure.
Hire union employees to teach our children. Don't allow for choice. Increase taxes.
Get it?

She has a nice progressive name for an educator: it means "castle" in Spanish.
Como se dice "Unions First" en Ingles?
Torres de Ivory?
