Village Clerk Faces Charges for Misusing Funds | Omaha News

A Nebraska village clerk is facing serious legal trouble after allegedly using public funds for a lavish personal shopping spree—electric toothbrushes, olive oil, and more—spending over $2,000.

She’s set to return to court in September—this one’s not just about a credit card, it’s about accountability. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
