Put up with Trump and Desantis playing "NA  NANANA, I got you that time."
Both of you needs to grow the hell up and start telling Americans what your going to do to save this country. You two are playing grade school games while the Liberals kill this country more and more every day. 
Americans are tired of your stupid politics. We don't care what you think about each other. 
Why don't you trying doing something different, like doing your damn job,  

So where is the $364,990 that wasn't spent?  The list of contributors/contributions versus the expenditures leaves a significant amount unspent.  
*I'm not saying it's right, but some of those people likely felt pressured to donate because of his "clout" in town along with the clout he may have had if he had run a successful campaign and won the seat.  
And...why wasn't he put on administrative leave or terminated when the "raid" happened in April 2022?  He should have been removed from any and all accounts that very day at a minimum.  Casting suspicion on an entire local government should be reason for termination.  One would think he's (they've) had time to move things around, cover it up and be able to access it once ousted.  I don't think he was operating alone.
Time to clean house.  

You know it is quite an ordeal to lose a loved one not to mention two in less than a year but even worse when someone steals money out of their bank account somehow getting their debit card info.
My mother-in-law passed who was married to Mr. D years back. The person did this before my wife took possession of her purse and wallet. They used this at an online Casino. Setting up an account there on the 23rd the day she died. This is just plain evil.
We will be talking to the police and filing charges tomorrow or Tuesday.
Then on top of that her landlords who were never nice people say they don't plan on returning her deposit. We even told them we would have her stuff out before the end of the month and it mostly is. We plan on cleaning everything even though it is clean now but will still do it and we will be taking pictures. The wife was very rude also to my sister in law who called.
I hope all these people get the karma that they deserve. God will be waiting for them to pass judgement on their sorry souls.
 
Rant over.

I agree.  The affidavit states Dubois is a class 3 city one of two in the state.  Class 3 cities are Led by elected city council members who appoint the manager.  The manager leads and appoints the chief of police.  The mayor reports to the manager.  The solicitor is probably chosen by the council and manager.  All a big happy family.

Yes. Even after stealing our money, he is stealing our money.  

Now that's the DuBois and Sandy way!  Let's see if we can screw the other over!  Why work to actually improve the area when you can aim to seek vengance.
Seriously, though, the influx of 'outsiders', migration of DuBoisians into Sandy, and the relatively few of the younger generation who desire to stay in the area, realize for the area to thrive the need is to cooperate.  
Fortunately, the old fossils who prefer the 'old ways' of division, resentment, and adverserial actions are being 'replaced'.

Nice write up in the courier ...the solicitor Toni Cherry , one of Herm's "friends" stating how much of an asset he's been for the city!!! GTFOOH

And an ex fire chief. 

More in depth information was in the Courier Express on Tuesday? 😯

Bad enough that he is accused of stealing money from the taxpayers of the City of DuBois and the people that donated to the United Way but to steal from the donations made to the volunteer fire department that he was a long term member of shows that he has no scruples what so ever. 😡

Found this:
5-6City Manager.  [Amended 12-11-2006 by Ord. No. 1707] A.  The City Manager shall be the chief administrative officer of the City of DuBois, appointed by a majority vote of the City Council. He/she shall serve at the discretion of the City. In addition thereto: (1)  The Manager shall be responsible to direct, supervise and manage the administration of all departments, offices and agencies of the City, except the Volunteer Fire Department, which shall report directly to the Mayor and City Council. …   So looks like the City council can just meet & vote to get rid of him, since he serves at their discretion.  

I never understand how this stuff happens.  There are supposed to be audits conducted, is no one doing this? 
I guess I'm too simple minded. 
 

Sounds like toni is very happy with herm and the way he conducts business....

We are committed to ensuring integrity is maintained within DuBois city government, which, we believe epitomizes Herm’s tenure as City Manager. 
Oh Please....600k is a lot of missing integrity
Council will remain vigilant in our oversight of City funds and its employees. 
Toni, how hard were you laughing when you wrote that?

Like you were doing the last 10 years, while this was happening? 

The whole thing started with a concerned citizen writing a letter.
 

HARRISBURG – Attorney General Michelle Henry announced Monday that DuBois City Manager and Executive Director of the DuBois Area United Way, John “Herm” Suplizio, was arrested on charges related to stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from public accounts.
Suplizio, 62, of Clearfield County, allegedly committed $620,815 in fraudulent transactions, using funds from city bank accounts and the Dubois Area United Way account to pay his personal credit card bills, make political donations and gamble.

“Suplizio was a trusted public official who should have been acting in the best interests of his community,” said Henry. “Instead, he betrayed that trust by stealing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for his own personal use.
“This egregious violation of the trust Pennsylvanians put in their officials is disgraceful. Today’s arrest is a reminder that no one is above the law, and that everyone who holds public office in Pennsylvania is accountable to the people.”
A Grand Jury investigation found that, in addition to the fraud, Suplizio used his position as city manager to enter into contracts with businesses for which he received personal benefits.
From 2014-2021, Suplizio also provided false information on his tax returns, paying for numerous charges with public money and claiming those charges as unreimbursed expenses on his taxes. 
Suplizio was charged with five counts of theft by unlawful taking; one count of conflict of interest; one count of misapplication of entrusted property; and eight counts of fraudulent return.
This case was investigated by Trooper Jeffrey Walters and Trooper Eric Guido of Pennsylvania State Police Organized Crime Section in Erie, Special Agent Terrence Sweeney from the Office of Attorney General Financial Crime Section, the Office of Attorney General Public Corruption Section and Detective Steven Kontaxes of the Fayette County Bureau of Criminal Investigations.   
This case is being prosecuted by Senior Deputy Attorney General Summer Carroll. All charges are accusations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
 

Dont think that will happen now
 

Good point!  The entire good old boys/girls club needs investigated

The question is? Will Herm take the  total hit or sing on others?  Where were the City Treasurer and Auditors? The Mayor? Board of Community Days? Who did he have business quid pro quo deals with?(Which contractors?) Who did he owe gambling debts to? How deep are the investigators going to go?  Stay Tuned. And that's not including the political favors.
 
PS. Tax returns are also FEDERAL.
