I started searching around for chauffeur scandals and low and behold I found this article. Now I am not saying I think they are embezzeling money but the revelation that Hevesi actually has six drivers

Audit Says Union Lost $5 Million To Theft
Bullock’s chauffeur, Leroy Holmes, allegedly received more than 200 checks totaling more than $1.2 million from Hemphill. He cashed the checks, sometimes depositing the funds in Bullock’s account and sometimes providing proceeds to Hemphill, who returned a portion to him, the audit said. It said Holmes believed that his 2001 salary as a chauffeur was $105,000, an amount higher than the salary of any other union employee besides Bullock.

Some of the checks Holmes cashed had been altered, with the name of the original payee — such as Verizon or the D.C. treasurer — crossed out and his name written in, the audit said. On one occasion, Holmes cashed a check for $20,000 and stuffed the cash in his pocket before returning to union offices, the audit said.

The unchecked theft of union funds infuriated teachers. Bullock’s acknowledgment of guilt provided some closure, but many teachers are anxious to see what happens in this trial before Judge Richard J. Leon. Hemphill had been a high-profile leader in the reelection campaign of Mayor Anthony A. William (D). Baxter, while treasurer of the union, had a job as the District’s labor liaison.

Alexis told the jury that much of the prosecution’s case will be based on financial documents and the testimony of cooperating witnesses who have pleaded guilty in the seven-year-long embezzlement.

One is Leroy Holmes, a former handyman at the union who became Bullock’s chauffeur. Holmes told prosecutors that he agreed to cash union checks and then deposited them in Bullock’s personal bank account.
“And he became the happiest chauffeur on the planet, earning nearly $125,000 a year,” Alexis said. Leroy Holmes was a WTU employee functioning as BULLOCK’s driver and as a WTU receptionist. Although they were required by law to do so, BULLOCK and WTU Treasurer failed to describe Holmes as an employee on Forms LM-2. Holmes’s employment became another way to steal the union’s money. Beginning sometime in December 1997, Executive Assistant began to write WTU checks to Holmes, which Holmes would cash at WTU’s bank.

Holmes would then either return to Executive Assistant and give her/him the proceeds (keeping for himself a substantial portion that would amount to approximately $100,000 per year in cash salary) or, less frequently, deposit the proceeds directly into BULLOCK’s account. On some occasions, BULLOCK or Executive Assistant would in turn use the funds so obtained to write personal checks to pay portions of the WTU American Express bill or make it appear that BULLOCK was paying for her own Diners Club charges. Over $1 million in WTU checks were cashed by Holmes between December 1997 and September 2002.
