He tells me that former district treasurer Glenn Golay, accused of stealing about $468,000 from the district, is set to enter a guilt plea and be sentenced tomorrow, July 14. The sentencing will happen at 8:30 in the morning in department three, judge Charles Snyder's courtroom, in Whatcom County Superior Court (the third floor of the county courthouse). I've confirmed this information with the superior court criminal clerk.
