    B.S. The people who arrested her are bigger criminals than she could ever be. Why have none of the reps been charged for talking funds while claiming to be in albany when in fact they were in the city? Blah.

    wormuth became overconfident and took too many risks.this is the tip of the iceberg.the fbi will prove their case without a doubt.jones is an excellent attorney but in the end he will take a plea deal for wormuth.the us attorneys office in the northern district will make the most of this case.other members of the halfmoon town board and others who have dealt with her will be waiting to be interviewed/subpoenaed.

    Extortion? Extortion involves using fear. I would have thought bribery is the appropriate charge. Hmm.

    Let me see if I got this right – MMA thinks bribing the head of some podunk town is going to get their sport legalized across NY state.

    bye, mindy.

    Just the tip of the iceberg. Look forward to see what happens to all of her cronies !!

    Her husband is Lester Wormuth, Town Justice for Halfmoon. He is just as bad as her. He once threw me in jail because I was unfortunate enough to make him miss his July 4th Celebration…..all over a speeding ticket. He was upset because he was rebuffed by my sister in High School. She is just as crooked as he is. She’s nothing more than a common criminal now. Watch her throw everyone under the bus. This is what happens when low-life’s get empowered. Good Riddence, Wormuth.

    I am having a real problem understanding how it can even be possible that the supervisor of Halfmoon NY, (Halfmoon?????) can be influential in the passing of a state law which is newsworthy in the state.
    $7500.00 for the Halfmoon supervisor to lobby for this, Halfmoon??????? their has to be a lot more to this story.

    BobO, Les Wormuch is her brother-in-law. Her husband owns a small car dealership on Route 9 in Halfmoon. I just can’t figure out why someone would throw their life away, humiliate their children and town for such a small amount of money. There has to be more to this story, additional money, perhaps some kind of addiction issue…. Just doesn’t add up to me.

    The I.R.S should look into this next.

    Since when can’t you accept gifts for endorsing a product? She should not have used the town’s letterhead, but this is a small violation, not “extortion.” I hope the FBI has more, for otherwise, they’ll look foolish in court.
