Waldholtz sentenced for stealing
"Perhaps theft for you is an addiction much like drugs and alcohol are for others," Allegheny County Judge Jeffrey Manning said Thursday before imposing the sentence.
Waldholtz, 41, of Forest Hills, once served as executive director of the Utah Republican Party and is the ex-husband and former campaign manager of Enid Greene, a former Utah congresswoman who is now the running mate of Republican gubernatorial candidate Nolan Karras.
Waldholtz spent about two years in jail after pleading guilty in 1996 to writing 27 bad checks worth $2.76 million between the couple's checking accounts in a congressional credit union and a bank in Utah.
"This case is a systematic pillaging of this stepmother, his brother, the federal government and anyone else he can get his hands on and sink his teeth into," said prosecutor Marc Clark. "There is no way to stop him except to put him in jail for an extended period of time."
Waldholtz said he regretted "the impact on the health of Marilyn Waldholtz and my father" in the latest cases. "I would like to continue to rebuild my life," he said.
Waldholtz's attorney, Joseph Paletta, said Marilyn Waldholtz had asked his client to return from Boston after his father died to help take care of the household. He blamed faulty record keeping for Waldholtz's troubles.
"It was unfortunate that the account for the expenditures that he was not more accurate and precise," Paletta said.
Manning also ordered Waldholtz to pay restitution.
