"Date of report: July 23, 2014."; Harvested from the web on 8/19/14The Office of the Ohio Inspector General received an anonymous letter alleging that Mount Vernon Developmental Center (MVDC) Supervisor Sue Lindsey had engaged in "unethical actions" in her positions as quality improvement coordinator and manager of the Willow Works workshop, a retail workshop outlet, located on the property of MVDC that employs MVDC residents with developmental disabilities. The complaint stated that Lindsey worked as a manager of the workshop, "... shopping for supplies and setting the prices for the products they make among other things ... ." The complaint alleged Lindsey used her personal vehicle to shop for the supplies and that she often parked her personal vehicle at the Willow Works' loading dock, which is located outside the view of her co-workers and, according to the complainant, gave Lindsey the ability to come and go unobserved. Furthermore, the complaint alleged Lindsey misused her position at Willow Works to set prices low so that she would be able to purchase the items at a reduced price. The complaint alleged Lindsey then marked up the prices and resold the purchased items at a shop located in downtown Mount Vernon called "The Primitive Cellar," of which she was alleged to be part owner
