What is it about money? It seems to cause such problems.
According to the AP, Windham County Sheriff Shelia Prue is being asked to step aside amidst allegations of misusing public funds for personal use.
The article states that "Windham County Sheriff Sheila Prue used public money to pay for family trips, building materials for renovations on her home and a wide array of other personal expenses, the state auditor said Tuesday."
It goes on to say that the case has been referred to the attorney general's office and the U.S. Department of Justice for possible criminal prosecution.

The list of alleged financial improprieties is quite stunning. Airline tickets. Cell phone bills. Groceries. Pet supplies. Hotels. Meals. A banjo.
Yes, a banjo.
Prue's term expires this year.
