Keyser Soze got a reaction from disgruntled in Arrest of Dubois City Manager John “Herm” Suplizio
Herm was employed by the United Way as the executive director. The United Way board members should not have employed him as Herm's position of City Manager created a conflict of interest.
Records obtained by Spotlight PA reveal that in 2014, for instance, the United Way gave $30,000 to the city for a “baseball field sign purchase.” In 2016 and 2021, the charity made two additional donations totaling $60,800 to the city for “general support.”
So close was the working relationship that in 2018, the United Way began acting as an “agent for the City of DuBois,” according to financial statements submitted by the charity. Those records said the United Way collected contributions for capital construction and improvements for several baseball fields and related facilities operated by the city.
Spotlight PA found a total of $560,503 in contributions to the city were handled by the United Way from 2018 to 2020 — a period when Suplizio reigned over both entities.

Yes.
You can also drive on the sidewalk too.
Any police charges will be dismissed!
I think there are sidewalks all the way to the Sandy Club.

Keyser Soze got a reaction from BigT in Arrest of Dubois City Manager John “Herm” Suplizio
I do not understand why council thought it was a good idea not to place the Waste Management payments in a city account.
The payment of entertainment for community days with cash seemed stupid too. (The solicitor approved of this)
Where did the money come from for the annual year end bonuses to highly paid employees????
Is the budget balanced because excess money is being transferred from water/sewage fund?
My feelings are that whenever the council needed more revenue they just sent a sewage surcharge/ rate increase to Sandy Township.

Waste management money:
As alleged, beginning as early as 2008, Suplizio and Shaffer used the city’s tax identification number to establish secret bank accounts into which they diverted city money, including approximately $60,000 in annual administrative fees from the city’s waste management contract. During the alleged conspiracy, Suplizio and Shaffer made large cash withdrawals from these unaudited accounts, wrote checks to themselves and others, and obtained cashier’s checks with themselves listed as payees—totaling more than $350,000. The defendants also allegedly spent more than $450,000 from the accounts toward payments on Suplizio’s personal credit card, which he used to pay for personal vacations, utility bills for his residence, department store purchases, and jewelry store purchases, among other personal expenses.
“Herm Suplizio allegedly funneled city money into secret bank accounts that he and Shaffer controlled and that he could use for his personal benefit, including hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal credit card payments,” United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan said. “Our communities entrust public officials like Suplizio with tremendous authority, and when that trust is violated—as is alleged here—this office and our federal and state law enforcement partners will hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

Keyser Soze got a reaction from Pappy in Suplizio Case: Dubois Police Chief
Apparently the voters think she is legit. As a write in candidate she secured both ballot positions against the incumbents with over 95% of the vote. Hard to argue with these results.

Keyser Soze reacted to gc in Nasuti
Clement, Jackson and Lesky seem to praise Nasuti. The only negativity is from Councilwoman Bernardo in a recorded voicemail that is all over social media that says she wants Nasuti gone. It must be hard working for a group like that - out to get you 24/7.

Keyser Soze reacted to Nannymimi in Nasuti
I don’t believe this for one minute…Chris Nasuti is the one for the job..and the harassment sure did not come from those you just accused!
