Former Luzerne County Clerk of Courts Bob Reilly was sentenced to two years probation for lying to federal agents during their investigations of the rats nest at the courthouse. Judge Richard P. Conoboy handed down the lame sentence stating that "Bullshit" Bob suffered enough by losing his cupcake courthouse position as well as his second job selling cars. "Really" Reilly also has to pay a meek $1,000.00fine and perform 50 hours of community service at The St. Vincent Depaul Soup Kitchen.
Let me say, I am totally confused by this sentence. Greg Skrepenak got 2 years at a federal pen for taking a $5,000.00 bribe. That scumbag Thom Greco withheld information to the Feds and will most likely get a slap on the wrist. Reilly told a little white lie to federal investigators stating that he took a $200.00 payment from Barton Weidlich for a no bid construction contract. In reality, he took three payments totaling somewhere between $1,000.00 and $1,500.00. My question here is why is he not checking in to the crowbar hotel? "Slippery Bob" was originally charged with bribery but investigators lowered the charge when he decided to plead guilty. I don't get it? So, if you confess to the crime you get a lesser sentence? Not so for Skrep. They socked it to him. As for "Bucko" Bob, he should be donning the orange jump suite with the rest of the county rats. If it were you or I, we would be in the lock up looking at the stripped light and a guy named Bubba in the shower.
Now here is the real kicker. "Dollar" Bob resigned his position as Clerk of Courts and he thinks that he should still get a pension. Are you Freakin' kidding me? He lied and took bribes while in office but still thinks he deserves his county pension. WHAT! Is that total arrogance. I think he should be stripped of his pension along with his clothes, given a full body cavity search and tossed in the clink. He broke the trust of the people that put him in office and to me that trumps the slap on the wrist he got. I think "slippery" Bob should take what he is being given and get on his knees to pray that he got off easy.
