Wendy Weiner Runge - who will speak up for this Yiddishe Mama?

Wendy Weiner Runge - who will speak up for this Yiddishe Mama?

Another Orthodox Jew takes it on the chin in Iowa

«What about Runge? Sure, she used some pretty jocular language in one or two emails. She was certainly guilty of being a novice in a roughneck industry and of trusting her experienced partners and a state official.

But Runge was no criminal mastermind. ...

Runge is heading to jail over one transgression: She made an amendment to an application form for future film projects, after the deadline for doing so had passed. She had filed the form as a favor to a California filmmaker and was trying, a little late, to correct one error she had made in the application. Tom Wheeler had told her it would be OK for her to make the amendment and, based on that assurance, she did it.»
