Carl White’s income wasn’t much, but he had the wrong idea about how to supplement it.  White, treasurer of International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 251, pleaded guilty on January 29 in federal court to embezzling nearly $86,000 from the Madison, Wisconsin union.  He admitted before U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb, “I took the money from Madison Stage and Screen Services and used it for my own purposes.”  In exchange for his guilty plea and a promise to make restitution, prosecutors will recommend a lighter prison sentence than the 10- year maximum.
