If you as a voter and/or concerned citizen are as worried as we are please vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the insight that Ferry had taken a check from her place of employment and made it out to herself. When caught she moved out of state and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, although not to the injured person, and there was no effort to pay off this debt, no intention to correct her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and openly lamented how difficult it was to be blasted with her own blunders.
This shows a total lack of responsibility for her own actions let alone the way she might run the county clerks office, if she even can!
