Proof of the Township's Overspending/Deficit!!

Some interesting financial information:

1. Command vehicle for the township. This vehicle was not able to be utilized during the recent storm. Cost: $400,000.00

2. Training center. This does NOT meet the national standards for a burn building and has limited use for the fire service. Cost: OVER $5,000,000.00 AND IS STILL NOT COMPLETED.

3. Used fire truck in extremely poor condition for the week day, daytime only paid fire crew. Cost: donated. Repairs: over $50,000.00. It has been out of service on numerous occasions resulting in the use of volunteer apparatus. Several of these volunteer units have been damaged while being used by the paid fire personnel.

4. There was no budgeting for equipment for the fire truck. Additional costs; $50,000.00

5. Over 15 unmarked take home unmarked vehicles for the police department. These vehicles are permitted to be utilized for personal use including the transport of family members. Cost: over $500,000.00

6. Mayor's SUV, Director of Administration SUV and the Director of Public Safety SUV. These vehicles are not limited in personal use to the township. Cost: Over $125,000.00

7. Overage on the addition to the township building (police wing) over $400,000.00

This is over $6,525,000.00 plus! And this is just scratching the surface!

AND WE WONDER WHY THE TOWNSHIP AND ITS COUNCIL REFUSE TO DISCUSS ANY OF THIS WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT!!!
