Bethel Township is screwed

richlevy · 03-21-2006, 08:01 PM

Over the past few years, my wife and I have been dealing more with Bethel Township due to some local issues. My wife has dealt with them more than I have. One person she has been dealing with is the township secretary, Forrest Finlay, who always seemed quiet but helpful.

At the township meetings she has always been there doing paperwork, taking notes.

She has just pleaded guilty to theft and forgery. $500k. Wow.

Wow. Our Supervisors had to steal it from the State to get that much jingle together. So are all the residents gonna time-share the property?

The way real estate has skyrocketed, Bethel may make a profit on this.

Her attorney said that her family members knew nothing of the thefts.

I wonder where they thought the half million came from?

She's been saving it from the grocery money.

My nephews former 3rd grade teacher got caught with his hand in the cookie jar -- to the tune of only 100K

IIRC he ran up some gambling debts.

One of the guys at work was bitching he hasn't been able to get a steet light, where the street in his development hits the main drag, because Bethel couldn't afford it.
