General News Millcreek settles misappropriation accusations
FISHER - “There should be no more personal use of tax
exempt card,” Millcreek Township Supervisor Lary Puskaric read from the
results of the township’s 2007 audit at the recent board of supervisors
meeting. About 20 people were in attendance. “There had been three tax exempt purchases, two lag bolts
and some cracked corn,” Puskaric continued. “Also there was some concern
over a lost set of keys. The auditors recommend we change all locks that could
have been affected. The auditors continued “Lary please reimburse the
purchase made Puskaric said, “That has already been done and taken care
of. The birdseed was for our (the township’s) birdfeeder outside.” It seemed the accusations of misappropriation of funds had
been put to bed. The audit was performed by Kathy Seamens, Kimberly Lewis,
