Off The Record

You have to wonder how long it took the Paxton Park District Board to figure this out? $2,500 in late fees doesn't accumulate overnight. What a brilliant/timely use of the taxpayer's dollars!

Following quote from the Paxton Record, October 28:

"The board approved a new policy allowing Administrative Assistant Beth Tabor to pay reoccuring bills, prior to approval at regular board meetings, so the bills can be paid by their due dates. The park district paid more than $2,500 in late fees waiting to get approval from the board for payment of monthly gas, telephone, Internet, trash pickup, accounting and other bills."
