New Charges Against Buonomo

John Buonomo, the former Middlesex Register of Probate who resigned last year after allegedly stealing office funds, faces new charges of funneling more than $100,000 of his campaign finance money for personal use.

Buonomo, 57, a Somerville politician who has been living in Newton, was indicted by a Middlesex Superior Court jury yesterday on charges of larceny, personal use of campaign funds, and willfully misleading investigators. He is slated to be arraigned at a later date.

A thief just can't help but keep thieving!

I'm glad it's catching up to him.

I remember this case. I knew he had done other criminal acts.

I have a picture of old time (low cost) justice:

AN OAK TREE & A ROPE!

Good -- pile on the charges and bury him!

It's come to this -- if he HAD to steal (and I guess in his distorted mind, he had to), I'd rather he steal from the office than from the elderly.

Pretty poor way of looking at it, but that's how I see it.

We had a another jumper in our great City of mass corruption.

I will be watching to see if this guy takes a leap before he is sentenced.
