Under the terms of his deferred sentencing/judgment, he was required to do certain things like pay restitution. Later, the charges were dismissed. If I had been advising him, I would have told him to answer the question &quot;yes&quot; and explain the charges fully. The question included pleading nolo contendere to any offense, misdemeanor or felony in any state, except for violation of traffic laws resulting in fines.Gary R.

If the Dental license application is worded that way then he was truthful on his application. I am not familiar with the application or with the mayor.artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-72834254506655785732009-10-20T09:48:46.627-05:002009-10-20T09:48:46.627-05:00I for my part am not as worried about his past as what he&#39;s doing in office now. The embezzlement matter is almost 30 years ago. however, it does involve a crime of dishonesty so that is important.<br /><br />The fact he apparently was less than truthful on his dental license application would suggest a pattern. Again, though I&#39;m more worried about what is going on now, which is troubling enough.Paul K.

Comment like that just begs for a Top Ten list.<br /><br />Besides, the Uniform Code of Military Justice prescribes other types of discharges for more innocent reasons.varangianguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12571595354792261993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-4746568667972072652009-10-20T08:15:14.418-05:002009-10-20T08:15:14.418-05:00He told McQuaid it was for &quot;personal reasons.&quot;Gary R.
