Posted: 4/25/2013 | By: Michael R. Sisak | citizensvoice.com
Three days after taking over a Maine newspaper chain, former Times
Leader editor and publisher Richard L. Connor doled out a sizable chunk
of company cash to buy a sport-utility vehicle for his son, the chain's
current publisher alleged Wednesday.
The purchase, MaineToday Media publisher Lisa DeSisto said in a memorandum to staff, was the first in a series of Connor misappropriations totalling more than $500,000. The memorandum was published on the Portland Press Herald website.
