An Arizona Democratic lawmaker who once voted against welfare fraud protections in her state has been indicted on felony charges of defrauding the food stamp program.

According to the indictment unsealed earlier this week, state Rep. Cecilia Velasquez was charged with three felony counts: unlawful use of food stamps, fraudulent schemes and practices, and theft.

The Arizona Department of Economic Security began investigating Velasquez in 2014. According to the Arizona DES, Velasquez fraudulently used $1,726 worth of food stamps between 2013 and 2015.

This past February, Velasquez had voted against a bill aimed at giving the same state agency stronger anti-fraud tools – a program that could have quickly detected her alleged fraudulent activity.

Arizona state Rep. Anthony Kern, who sponsored the House bill, called the indictment “sad.”

“It is appalling that an elected official representing the people of Arizona would steal from the poor, while consistently saying she is trying to help the poor,” Kern told Fox News.

Josh Archambault, senior fellow with the Foundation for Government Accountability, pointed to the failed legislation as the kind of measures the country needs to tackle fraud.

“There is so much low-hanging fruit to catch in this country when it comes to welfare fraud, and sadly, every day that goes by without reform allows for abuse and steals resources from the truly needy,” Archambault told Fox News.

Velasquez’s indictment was announced this week after an investigation by several state agencies.

According to Arizona Inspector General Juan J. Arcellana, the investigation began with a tip in November 2014.

“The indictment of State Representative Velasquez is the culmination of an extensive multi-year investigation,” Arcellana said in a statement. “The forthcoming judicial proceedings will ensure due process for the involved parties.”

Velasquez’s office has not responded to Fox News’ request for comment.

The initial hearing is set for July 5 in Maricopa County Superior Court.

Republicans aren't stupid enough to get clipped over $1,700 and change. When they pull this kind of scam they defraud people for millions. You know they're too big to fail. fog

I do believe banning her from public office and public assistance is fair enough... after she pays back the $1,700 with interest.

I'm a fair guy.

Seemed like a good place to leave this given the OP's title selection, as the Dems will continue to use OUR courts to continue to attack the Constitutional Amendments they DON'T LIKE and ADD more BS to " protect " certain classes of " special citizens "


The Next Election

Some people have brought up the fact that they won't vote if the eventual nominee is not the person they wanted. I just want to put something in perspective.

Justice Scalia's seat is vacant.

Ginsberg is 82 years old

Kennedy is 79

Breyer is 77

Thomas is 67.
Nowadays, the data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court retirement or death occurs after 75.

These are 5 vacancies that will likely come up over the next 4-8 years.

The next President will have the power to potentially create a 7-2 Supreme Court skewed in their ideology.

Think about that 7-2.

If the next President appoints 5 young justices, it will****guarantee control of the Supreme Court for an entire generation.

And 7-2 decisions will hold up much more over time than 5-4 decisions which are viewed as lacking in mandate.

Hillary has made it clear she will use the Supreme Court to go after the 2nd Amendment. She has literally said that the Supreme Court was wrong in its Heller decision stating that the Court should overturn and remove the individual right to keep and bear arms. Period.

Anyone and Everyone who is saying that they won't vote for one candidate or the other if they are the GOP nominee, please realize this.

Hear this! If Hillary Clinton wins and gets to make these appointments, you likely will never see another conservative victory at the Supreme Court level for the rest of your life.

Ever.

Whoever is the GOP nominee, go VOTE for the GOP Nominee!

Remember Romney?

Three million conservatives who had voted for McCain did not cast a vote for Romney (for whatever reason) and the result was four additional years of B.H.O.

AND ONE FINAL THOUGHT, she's already on the record as saying that her buddy, B.H.O. "would make a great Supreme Court Justice."

DID YOU JUST READ THAT LAST SENTENCE?

NOW ARE YOU SCARED? VOTE! AND VOTE RIGHT!

But nothing to do with the content or the OP which is about a small time state rep who stole which happens every day unfortunately.... fear of hill dog etc. may be significant it just has little to do with this thread... not that I care... I'm just having fun
