Oregon woman accused of $400K Wash. fraud
A 66-year-old Oregon woman has been charged with almost 200 counts of defrauding the Washington state labor department.
Lois Bachhuber, who plays organ at Oaks Pioneer Church in Portland, Ore., was charged with collecting around $400,000 worth of her dead mother's workers compensation checks.
Viola Elsner died in 1988, The Olympian reports.
What kind of idiots do we have working for the Washington Labor deptartment? This woman was stealing for 18 years!! Do they have any method of eligibility or verfication? If I walk in and ask for a check will they just give me one?
In the private sector someone would be fired. This is another example of government not safeguarding our money. They simply don't care.

She's 66. I doubt that she is going to be able to pay back that kind of money.
Now I regret tipping her $100 bucks when she played at my wedding.
It does, however, explain the $100 tip she gave to the pizza guy!
Wow. I would have expected this from her psychotic daughter, who in my opinion is undiagnosed paranoid schitzophrenic. But Lois was the stable although eccentric one. Maybe the saying is true "insanity is hereditary you get it from your children" This whole thing is shocking and sad.
