State charges dropped against small town Illinois swindler
Tuesday, 30 April 2013 13:40 Published in Local NewsDIXON, Ill. (AP) - The Lee County state's attorney says she decided to drop state charges against former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell because a second trial after her conviction in federal court would not result in additional jail time or restitution.
Crundwell admitted in the federal case that she stole nearly $54 million in public money from the northern Illinois city over some two decades that she served as its bookkeeper.
The Lee County prosecutor, Anna Sacco-Miller, said Tuesday that any sentence in the state proceedings would be served concurrently with the nearly 20 years that Crundwell received in February in the federal case. As a result, she says, the expense to taxpayers of a second trial cannot be justified.
The charges can be refiled if Crundwell's appeal of her federal sentence is successful.

Students will be able to monitor the activity of the panels through touch screen monitors installed in the schools.
