Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2026 report certifies 141,459.45 received since the distribution began in 2022 (p1, question 3).
On page 3, under question 14a, the same report adds "Question 3 CORRECTION" and gives the total received since 2022 as 51,935.33. The two figures differ by 89,524.12. That is the total received since 2022 that the FY2024 report certified (p1, question 3). The Township has certified 0.00 spent in every report from FY2023 to FY2026. The FY2025 report certifies 141,168.17 received since 2022 and 141,168.17 unspent on hand (p1, questions 3 and 9). The FY2026 report certifies 291.28 received, 0.00 spent and 51,935.33 on hand (pp1 to 2, questions 1, 6 and 9). On the reports' own figures nothing left the fund, yet 89,524.12 of certified receipts is neither spent nor on hand. The Township's opioid grant receivable account, 01-1180, printed 06/08/2026, shows six collection credits from 09/13/2022 to 11/13/2025 totaling 76,528.75. That is neither of the report's two totals. One report cannot certify both totals as the money received.
self-contradiction · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2026 report certifies 291.28 received between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1, question 1).
The Township's opioid grant receivable account, 01-1180, shows two credits in that period. They are 29,308.55 on 08/11/2025 and 291.28 on 11/13/2025, a total of 29,599.83. The certified figure is the 11/13/2025 credit to the cent. The 08/11/2025 credit is not in it. The report's unspent on hand figure, 51,935.33 (p2, question 9), is the FY2025 report's encumbered figure of 51,644.05 plus the 291.28, so it leaves out the same 29,308.55. The books show 29,599.83 received in the period. The report certifies 291.28.
misreported-receipts · 3 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 51,644.05 received between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1, question 1).

The Township's opioid grant receivable account, 01-1180, shows no credit between 01/01/2024 and 08/11/2025. Every credit it shows through 06/30/2025 totals 93,857.84. That count includes the two 01/01 entries of 44,322.36 and 2,606.56 that the export does not explain. The books show no money received in the period the report certifies 51,644.05. The 141,168.17 on hand is 47,310.33 above every credit the account shows through 06/30/2025.
misreported-receipts · 2 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2023 report certifies 44,322.06 as the full amount received as of 06/30/2023 (p1, question 7).
The FY2024 report certifies the same 44,322.06 as received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1, question 1). Its total received since 2022, 89,524.12 (p1, question 3), is 44,322.06 counted twice plus 880.00 of interest. The Township's opioid grant receivable account, 01-1180, shows 44,322.36 credited on 09/13/2022, 10/23/2022 and 11/20/2022, all before the FY2024 period. In the period it shows one collection credit of 2,606.56 on 11/22/2023 and a second 2,606.56 entry dated 01/01/2024 that the export does not explain. Together they are 5,213.12.
