AG Curtis Hill will appeal decision denying recovery of funds allegedly misappropriated by Lake County school officials

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill announced today his office will appeal a Lake County judge’s decision prohibiting the state from recovering funds overpaid to two former administrators in the Munster school district.

In 2016, the State Board of Accounts (SBOA) found that former Superintendent William Pfister and former Assistant Superintendent Richard Sopko, both now retired, received annuity payments during their tenure to which they were not entitled. The SBOA designated more than $841,000 as misappropriated — $463,922.75 of which went to Pfister and $377,475.28 of which went to Sopko.

A Lake County judge ordered that the state could not collect any damages that arose before May 23, 2012, opining that the statute of limitations had expired. However, Indiana law is clear that the statute of limitations begins running at the point the SBOA refers an audit to the Office of the Attorney General. In this case, such a referral occurred on June 8, 2016. The Office of the Attorney General filed its complaint on May 23, 2017, a date well within the statute of limitations.

“This ruling completely disregards the SBOA audit report process,” Attorney General Hill said. “Cases arising out of SBOA audits are especially important to the state because their purpose is to protect public funds. The state must always be able to recoup taxpayer dollars and root out fraud committed by public officials and employees. We must hold those who violate the law accountable, and we must ensure that those who take wrongful advantage of their positions of trust do not profit from ill-gotten gains.”

Softball Splits Doubleheader Against Loyola

0

Teams Will Play The Rubber Match On Saturday

 CHICAGO – Day one at Loyola saw the University of Evansville softball team split a doubleheader against the Ramblers.  UE took game one, 4-3 before Loyola shut out Evansville in game two by a 2-0 final.

The teams will play the rubber match on Saturday at a new time – 12 p.m.  The game was pushed back an hour due to weather.  Box scores from today are not available at this time.

“I thought we did a good job attacking our pitches in game one, but we really played into what Loyola wanted in the second game,” UE head coach Mat Mundell said.  “Our pitchers threw great all day and we were able to make some nice plays defensively.”

Morgan Florey was the star in game one, tossing seven innings.  She gave up three runs, two earned, on just two hits.  Florey struck out 13 Rambler batters in the effort.  She also contributed offensively.  With the Ramblers up 1-0 in the top of the fourth, her 2-run double gave Evansville the lead for good.

Brittany Hay added some insurance in the top of the fifth, notching her second home run in as many weekends.  A 2-run shot gave the Purple Aces some insurance, extending the lead to 4-1.  Those runs would be important as LUC got within one in the seventh, but Florey buckled down to clinch the 4-3 win.

Loyola rode the arm of Kiley Jones to a 2-0 win in game two.  Jones allowed just two UE hits in the contest while the offense for the Ramblers supplied a pair of solo home runs.

McKenzie Johnson and Hay picked up the hits for UE.

Saturday’s finale has been moved to a 12 p.m. start time due to the anticipated weather in the Chicago area.
