It was never been reported that $11 million was missing from the sheriff's office. The Treasurer asked the Sheriff's Office to turn over $11 million in unclaimed funds but its figures were wrong. The Sheriff's Office kept money owed to former homeowners (Sheriff's sale proceeds) and vendors here in Philadelphia rather than turn it over to the state. Efforts were being made to track down the local people owed money. Sheriff Green put up a website allowing former buyers to check on sale proceeds online. In the end, the Sheriff's office turned over $1.2 million (dating back to 1998) to the state. If voters want ethical government, they can't believe that everything a candidate says is true. Untermeyer is putting out half-truths, which reflects upon him not the sheriff. Speaking of ethics: Does it bother anyone that a real estate investor wants to be sheriff? Wouldn't that be like putting a defense contractor in charge of searching for weapons of mass destruction? Who will protect the interests of poor homeowners in our fair city? Are we a city that protects its people, or one that is driven by profit? Please, everyone, don't accept everything you are told as truth.

I'll proably be circulating petitions for a couple of Council candidates, but I'm sure to bring his along too! :) Untermeyer seems like the stealth gem of this election.
