Lost Grant Money

Here we go again the dems are at it again.

I have sat at council meetings where Council Woman Barbara Hefflefinger has patted herself on the back many times for her grant writing abilities and her being successful in getting grants for her pet projects. 

Council Woman Barbara Hefflefinger has voiced her disdain for those of us that have had to resort to filing documents under the Freedom of Information Laws to get information that should be available from her and other council members.  But every time you ask Council Woman Barbara Hefflefinger a question her response is that she does not have that information with her.  Where is the information in her home off premise?  I thought all town documents should be stored at the town hall.

Council Woman Barbara Hefflefinger has gone so far as to ask that those citizens requesting information be charged not only for copies but the time a boro employee has to spend getting the information.  Hey here is a novel idea just answer the question in a professional manner.

Recently, Council Woman Barbara Hefflefinger forgot to get in a grant application on time and it cost the town $284,000.00 in grant money.  But, Council Woman Barbara Hefflefinger is not solely to blame in the loss of this money, how about our Council President Ward McMaster man up and takes some of the blame.  This situation occurred on his watch and he should have been overseeing the activities or lack of activities of Council Woman Barbara Hefflefinger. 

The dems again concealed this grant snafu from the voters of our town.  They knew well before the election that Council Woman Barbara Hefflefinger screwed up and did not make the deadline and her in action cost this town big bucks.

It looks like the dems are off and running again and heck they have not even been sworn in to their new terms.
