WHY YOU HAVEN;T TELL HOW MANY MONEY DID THEY PAOD IN THE MILLS?

All we have to do is look at this situation and we have an insight to why there is so little respect for the laws of our land. Why go to the trouble and expense of a trial, just give slaps on the wrist and let the stealing continue. What a joke, lawyers, lawyers, all around and not one with guts enough to enforce justice. Tears, Mrs. Mills, cannot wash away your guilt, grow up, you very well know law, maybe that is part of the problem, you know people in high respected places that can dance the dance of deceit. Why have you not let your son, 37 years old, pay his own bills and pay for his own crimes, other mother's have not the influence or money and their children, if they do the crime, they pay, but not the Mills.
To those to whom much is given, much is expected. I don't have the words to express how disgusted I am with this whole deal. Prison 9 years should mean 9 years not 2. All I can do is remember when the officials that are elected come up for re-election is to vote against them. I hope Waco citizens raise up with the voices and their votes to let all these "respectable people" know how we that live our lives out daily with God's help are watching how they live out their lives.

If you are outraged, then let Greg Abbott (Attorney General for the State of Texas), Jim Dunham, Doc Anderson, and Kip Averitt know you're disgusted. Abbott is the elected official who is ultimately responsible and to whom Glickler & White have to answer to and secure approval of a plea agreement like this. And all of them need your vote to stay in office!

Just because she did things for the city doesn't mean squat. What she did was wrong and she knew it was wrong when she did it. Why give her a break. Anybody else wouldn't get a break. That's whats wrong with this world. A nobody would get the book thrown at them but these people we are suppose to look up to get a break. That's bulls__t. And why move the trial. She should that to face the people she stoled from face to face and not in a other county.

I think I must sadly concur with Ms. Mills' attorneys that she could not get a fair trial in Waco, Texas. I do, however, disagree that the reason she cannot get a fair trial is because of the pre-trial publicity. I think it is because she has done to the local merchants what she did to the city of Waco; stolen from them. I have heard so many first hand accounts of Ms. Mills' not paying her bills and the ensuing arrogance and feigned outrage at the mere suggestion that she was evading payment make it dubious at best whether an impartial jury could assess her punishment. I would have hoped that from the outset, her "dream team" of attorneys would have advised her to do the right thing and own up to her ill-gotten gains, make arrangements for restitution, and move on. That would have played a lot better with the Waco public. Now, she will probably get probation, declare bankruptcy, and continue to live better than the rest of us from whom she stole. This woman apparently has either compulsive behavior or is devoid of a conscience and I submit that family members who benefitted from her behavior, enabled it, or allowed it to continue should also be held accountable.

She is NOT a rich ole woman. If so, she could pay her tax lien, pay her restitution and not write hot checks all over town. Everyone keeps calling her a rich old Waco and she is NOT. Old money- rich Wacoans pay their bills!

This just ticks me off. My nephew was born through an emergency c-section and was in NICU for a month when all of this investigation was going on and my father was not able to be at his first grandchild's birth or with his daughter because he was working this stupid investigation where they are doing away with over half of his work. He worked to hard and to late to many nights for this to be thrown away like it is. Margaret Mills has screwed Waco and deserves to be put away for more than a life sentence. She should also have to pay every penny back. We all know that won't happen though.

Lest I forget, this reminds me of why I don't live in Waco any longer. Waco was my home for many years, but now I am ashamed to tell anyone about this fact.

The "good old boy" way of doing business in Waco is still alive and well.

If there ever is a time in this corrupt joke of a town for someone to step up to the plate -- where is a John, in the wilderness hollering his head off (excuse the pun) when we need him? I say, send this story to Nancy Grace, that is, if she has time away from her normal/abnormal stories. See if someone out here will make Waco a public laughing stock, as it really is; it's corrupt leaders; all the way from the "gravediggers" to the courthouse. And we wonder why we, as a nation, much less Waco, are doomed. Here is a line from an old John Wayne movie; "Thee asked for it." Oh, by the way; every taxpaying citizen in this joke of a town ought to refuse to pay one red cent of tax if, at the very least, restitution is not fully made. And if, as someone has stated, "the evidence is not there, so the prosecution cannot prosecute any more than is proven"...please fellow, wake up!!! Why do you think all this time has lapsed? Why do you think nothing connected with her bank account/monies/assets were frozen immediately after she was found out? There has been enough time gone by here to cover up New York City! Just let us have enough time and before it's all over, "they" will show where actually Waco owes Ms. Mills some back pay. And to think, I have to write a check for over $3,000 for this years taxes; perhaps Maggie could do some beautification on my property for the next 50 years or so. I realize mowing in this hot-as-hell Waco heat might be a little much, but I'd be very fair. I have some wonderful tasting Waco water. Have a very Merry Christmas, Ms. Mills, and you, too, you sorry low-down corrupt, Waco leaders.
