Former Cicero town President Betty Loren-Maltese sells her belongings at a garage sale. Loren-Maltese, who served time in prison on federal corruption charges, says she is in need of money and still owes the feds restitution from her conviction in 2002. She expects she can keep some of the earnings from the garage sale but may have to turn over 20 percent to the government.
