“Buffalo Chip (with oak leaf cluster) to former Cedar Hills mayor Eric Richardson who was sentenced this week to 366 days in federal prison and ordered to pay $110,000 in restitution. Charging documents said he operated a “scheme and artifice to defraud HeritageWest Credit Union.” As part of a plea bargain, Richardson admitted to the scam and confessed to an array of illegal activities including making false statements, allowing others to falsely inflate his income and failing to disclose a mortgage. But of course he was always honest during his time as a Cedar Hills official and never, never, never, ever attempted to mislead anybody about the financial disaster that is the municipal golf course.”
