A social visit at the ball field in the AM in March seems unlikely. Therefore it must be work related which seems inappropriate while on administrative leave. Furthermore, would anyone concerned about their own accountability make themselves so publicly visible? I doubt it. I dont think is concerned. Which is concerning. Well it was actually 5 PM yesterday. Still. The picture i have shows them by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyPete Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Might be a very good idea to have Sandy Township have a public audit done as well. redmill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will admit I'd be more suspicious if I saw one going to the other's home under the cover of darkness, rather than in public. Perhaps Interim was wired?

buschpounder Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Part of an article. It looks like sandy twp benefits from the problems at the city. WJAC Johnstown Follow Clearfield County withholds infrastructure grant funds for DuBois amid Suplizio fallout Story by Douglas Braff • Yesterday 7:08 PM Clearfield County withholds infrastructure grant funds for DuBois amid Suplizio fallout© Provided by WJAC Johnstown The fallout after the arrest of the DuBois city manager continues. The Clearfield County Commissioners this week announced the municipalities where nearly $1.4 million in infrastructure grant money will go. However, the City of DuBois will receive none, this round. That's because of the state attorney general's theft and fraud charges against the recently suspended DuBois City Manager John "Herm" Suplizio. The Clearfield County Commissioners this week awarded 10 infrastructure grants to various municipalities, who applied last year for different projects. Some of these are bridges, water and sewer lines. The commissioners and the county planning officer went through the applications and ranked them by priority. "DuBois was originally ranked in our top 10 for their new sewer facility," Commissioner Dave Glass explains to 6 News. "They were talking about building, but in light of the questions regarding their finances and, you know, everything that's going on up there, we're withholding any funding for the time being until they kind of get their own financial house in order." The total amount of money awarded comes out to $1.375 million, with Glass saying it all originates from the American Rescue Plan Act funds the county received. While DuBois won't receive an infrastructure grant this round, Glass tells us the grant it would've received will go to someone else. "It just so happened that Sandy Township had a really good project that just happened to rank below them, so we just slid Sandy Township right in there in their place," he says. "Sandy wasn't in our original list, so the amount that Sandy got was originally slotted for DuBois," Glass notes. "So the, their total amount awarded would not have changed."

And so much trash was being talked about Sandy Township. Looks like they have had their house in order all this time. Now, to start to repair the past damage from many years, and look to equalize the balance the power status on both sides of the scales. THEN we can get back to where we were before the Consolidation vote was done and some began smacking their lips in anticipation of more power and goodies!

HUD announces $875,000 Loan Guarantee for Pennsylvania Wastewater Collection and Conveyance Project Dec. 22, 2022 • Original Press Release WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) today announced a $875,00 loan guarantee to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the Sandy Township Platt Road Wastewater Collection and Conveyance Project. The loan guarantee, offered through the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program (Section 108), will be used to finance the extension of sanitary sewer lines to a 400-acre site that is proposed for new development in the Corbet Industrial Park. Though two businesses already operate in the park, they currently rely on temporary sewage disposal facilities, which are not sustainable and could deter or limit the growth of business. This project will benefit people with low- and moderate-incomes (LMI) by creating job opportunities. The loan requires that at least 51 percent of the full-time equivalent jobs are held by or made available to people with low and moderate incomes.
