Annapolis: Theft Exceeding $150,000 Occurs at Finance Department

Theft Exceeding $150,000 Occurs at Finance Department

Police investigating incident; new internal money-handling procedures
installed

Annapolis, Md. (06-14-10) -- Mayor Joshua J. Cohen announces that a
theft took place last week in the Finance Department that resulted in
the loss of $149,843.21 in checks and $3,982.59 in cash.

A deposit bag with the checks and cash was removed from the Finance
Department’s vault between 2:30 p.m. Monday, June 7 and the next
morning, Tuesday, June 8. The theft was discovered upon opening the
vault for the courier to deliver the deposit to the bank.

The Police Department was contacted immediately, and an investigation
is underway.

The Finance Department has moved vigorously to install new internal
controls to prevent such an occurrence. Finance staff are making contact
with check writers to ask for a stop payment and reissue to recover as
much of the check amount as possible. Several large checks are already
going through that process. The City stamped all checks as “deposit
only” so they cannot be cashed.

The Finance Department handles money for scores of transactions for
City services, including utility payments and parking fees. Those who
sent in checks and cash that were received by the Finance Department on
Monday, June 7, have been credited for the payments.

Senator Nancy Jacobs: Please continue to help us pass Jessica's Law in MD

Senator Nancy Jacobs: Please continue to help us pass Jessica's Law in MD

Senator Nancy Jacobs, District 34, Maryland, Harford and Cecil Counties, NancyJacobs.com

April 3, 2010


Senator Jacobs with Mark Lunsford at the recent hearings.

I know that you agree that as a state we cannot afford to be lenient on child rapists. I strongly believe our children are our most precious asset and each day of delay in passing tougher child sexual predator laws puts more Maryland children at risk.

But the good news is that our battle for tougher child sexual predator laws crossed another hurdle this week when Senate Bill 622 "Crimes--Sexual Offenses Against Children--Penalties" passed the Senate on 2nd reader on Friday (2nd reader is where other Senators may offer amendments and ask questions. 3rd reader is the final vote which will be early next week.

In case you forgot, SB622 increases the mandatory minimum sentence from 5 to 20 years for child sexual predators 18 years or older convicted of a second degree rape or second degree sex offense against a victim younger than the age of 13.

While we may have won this battle, the war is far from over. SB622 faces a series of more hurdles until it goes to the governor for his signature to become law. The next step when SB622 clears the Senate is that it will go the House of Delegates' Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee previously passed a weaker version of this bill which called for a 15 year mandatory minimum. We will need your help in asking members of the House committee to support the full 20 year mandatory minimum sentence for rape.

Please Contact the Committee

  • You can contact (via e-mail and phone call) members of the House Judiciary Committee by clicking on their name at this link: http://www.msa.md.gov/msa/mdmanual/06hse/html/com/05jud.html
  • Your message to the House Judiciary Committee Chairman and committee members should be:
    "Please pass SB 622 with the full 20 year mandatory minimum sentence for the rape of a child."


Watch the story on Fox 45 Baltimore

Our children who were raped were never given a choice, but as legislators we do have a choice to make our children, families and communities safer. I appreciate all of your efforts to date and your support of my legislation.

In this blessed weekend, I wish you and your family a safe holiday.

Sincerely,


Nancy Jacobs
Senate Minority Whip – District 34 (Harford and Cecil County)
