It's universally difficult to watch a public person brought down, but former U.S. Rep. Frank Ballance of Warrenton received an appropriate sentence for misusing state money. The crime was worse because Ballance committed it while he was a respected, powerful state senator, and the money was destined for the John A. Hyman Memorial Youth Foundation, a nonprofit substance abuse agency founded by Ballance. The former 1st District congressman received a 4-year sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Terrence Boyle."
