Former Township Supervisor Jon Rundels has been a staunch and vocal advocate for fiscal responsibility in local government. Meeting after meeting, I have seen his inquiries about what the current account and fund balances are met with blank stares from the whole panel of township officials sitting up on their podium. Check out the Worth Board Duties page, and you can see how Clerk Bartniczak handled his written requests for such information. The letter that Mr. Rundels and other former township officials have sent to the board demanding a forensic audit speaks for itself. When officials can't come within a million bucks of telling the taxpayers how big the sewer bill is, and when the annual report from their own auditing firm is replete with criticisms of how township finances are handled is there really any better way to clear the air and restore the citizen's confidence in our local government?
