3 findings.
Every finding is verified to the documents in its own row. An inference is labelled as one.
Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2025 report certifies 30,348.83 received since 2022 (p1, question 3), 0.00 interest, 0.00 expended and 32,960.09 unspent on hand (p1, question 9).
The Borough's Cash Receipts listing for revenue account 01-1920-10-7724, printed 05/28/2026, shows 21 settlement receipts from 10/06/2022 to 06/23/2025 that total 32,960.09, the on-hand figure to the cent. The certified received figure is 2,611.26 short of the receipts. The FY2026 report builds its received figure, 38,100.82 (p1, question 3), as the FY2025 figure of 30,348.83 plus the 7,751.99 it certifies for the year, so it carries the same 2,611.26 shortfall. Its on-hand figure, 40,712.08 (p2, question 9), is 32,960.09 plus 7,751.99. By 05/05/2026 the listing already shows 39,269.61 received, 1,168.79 more than the FY2026 report certifies as received since 2022. Every report the Borough filed certifies 0.00 spent. Both reports certify no interest. Yet each says the Borough holds 2,611.26 more than it certifies as received. Both figures cannot be true. The Borough's own receipts match the on-hand figure, not the received figure.
misreported-receipts · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 14,839.30 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1, question 1), 21,339.30 received since 2022 (p1, question 3) and 21,339.30 unspent on hand (p1, question 9).
The Borough's Cash Receipts listing for revenue account 01-1920-10-7724, printed 05/28/2026, shows three settlement deposits in that period. They are 1,958.08 and 2,520.85 on 08/07/2023 and 498.78 on 11/22/2023, a total of 4,977.71. The certified figure is 9,861.59 higher. The 14,839.30 equals to the cent nine deposits the listing posts on 03/03/2025, eight months after the period closed. Four other deposits that day are marked POST 6/30/24. These nine are not. Through 06/30/2024 the listing shows 9,111.26 received in all, not the 21,339.30 the report certifies as received and on hand. The FY2025 report's 9,009.53 for its year is the other seven deposits posted in FY2025, to the cent. Neither report counts the three deposits of 08/07/2023 and 11/22/2023.
misreported-receipts · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2023 report certifies 6,500 received as of 06/30/2023 (p1, question 7) and 0 expended (p1, question 8).

The FY2024 report carries the 6,500.00 into the 21,339.30 it certifies as received since 2022.

Correct the recordCan opioid settlement money be spent on police cars or license plate readers?
No. Exhibit E of the national settlement lists the approved uses: treatment, recovery, prevention, harm reduction and related supports. Vehicles and surveillance hardware are not among the uses it lists, and state law bars using the funds to replace money a town would otherwise have spent.The approved uses
