John T. Daley for four years embezzled nearly $1.2 million from the New York State Nurses Association, the 34,000-member union of which he had been chief financial officer.  Now he’s going to pay a price.  On March 30, Daley received a prison sentence in Albany County Court of three-and-a-third years to 10 years.  He also will have to make restitution.  Daley pleaded guilty in January to second-degree grand larceny, after initially claiming innocence due to impaired judgment from overuse of prescription drugs.  The sentencing follows an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards and the police department of the Town of Colonie, located north of Albany.  (OLMS, 4/23/07).
