    Chief Clark tends to be disliked by criminals.

    Ignatius reacted to Polo in City of DuBois Police Chief   
    We need to let this play out.  I have never heard a bad word about the Chief, and I know he is a good family man.  He risked his own life and almost died when he went in a residence to try to save a lady who ended up committing suicide in past months.  I say lets give him the benefit of the doubt.  There are all kinds of reasons for folks being put on leave.  We are fortunate to have a man willing to do this job.  Not many want to work in law enforcement these days.

    Ignatius got a reaction from Bon in Pennsylvania court rules against gun clubs in private property case   
    Both clubs are privately owned, however, the issue is the game/animals are in public domain and not the club’s property.

    I don't disagree with what you're saying, however, the same auditor did the city and the local United Way.  I find it incredulous to believe donations to the latter were in cash, so there has to be a paper trail of donations.  As far as Waste Management, I'm curious as to who the "payee" was on the checks and further, whose name was the receiving checking account titled to.  Could those payments (from Waste Management) have originally been set-up in a purely altruistic manner and titled for "DuBois Days"?  Anything is possible!
    Final thoughts:  my opinion is, if the indicted are proven guilty, then those involved were only a few.  With more than a few, keeping a "secret" becomes infinitely harder, if not impossible.  Finally, what were the first allegations and who was the accusing party?

    Waste Management is a publicly traded company (NYSE).  I reserve any further comments, pending release of factual information.

    The devil is in the details!  How were items presented to the council or were steps taken to consolidate decision making into a select few (if so, why?)?  One would have to believe that with the severity of a federal case, anyone in the know would start 'fessing up.  I would also believe that Waste Management is not going to give cover to the city.

    I certainly hope that outside auditors of the local government are scrutinized.  Those here that are familiar with this process understand that a number of steps are involved before financial statements are produced, including recommendations to the local government, contact with outside vendors and steps even as far as refusing to produce statements.

    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.”

    If convicted, everyone that had a part, needs hung, including the waste company that made the pay-offs.

    Much damage has already been done to this area and if convicted, the public must demand full disclosure of everyone involved.  There are parties on the peripheral that may not have done anything illegal (assuming a conviction), but they certainly should have known something was not right.  If the indicted are found guilty, I certainly hope the city pursues a civil trial to claw back identified money (this is in addition to criminal penalties).

    Until all facts are known and proven in a court of law, my opinion remains neutral.  Let the accused face the accuser.  Don’t let hyperbole destroy the city or the consolidation.
