Questions of interest for short answers:
1. Why are the monies in the wrong funds?
2. Are the totals just paper transactions that can be corrected with a transfer to the correct funds or are these real dollars that need to be generated from tax payers?
3. Why is $100,000 uncollectable for the sewer fund and who is it non collectable from?
4. Is the Yatch Dock a revenue generator for the townships or does it actually loose money each year?

Kleptocracy:
The pejorative term â??kleptocracyâ? is applied to a government tainted by widespread greed and corruption and headed by a person or persons who has used the government for personal enrichment and gain. While the suffix â??-ocracyâ? often implies a form of government, kleptocracies are not forms of government, but rather governments so fundamentally corrupt that they are difficult, if not impossible, to salvage.
Most commonly, this situation arises in authoritarian governments. Such governments lend themselves to corruption because there is little accountability and the head of the government usually appoints friends, family members, and close associates to key positions in the government in order to retain control. This sets up a ruling class, and with no accountability, members of the government can freely abuse government funds.

this is crazy
by my rough calcs we are talking about $350k that is unfunded and owed to the Twp.
I fail to understand how from an accounting standpoint or from a collections from the businesses down there this is happening.
Please inform an ignorant land owner what I am missing?
