Three Memos Detail Bethlehem Shenanigans

These three memos corroborate what Bethlehem City Council member jean belinski claims in the post above: (1) a 12/29/09 memo from Bethlehem City Council member Jean Belinski, asking City Council Solicitor Chris Spadoni concerning Council's options; (2) a 12/8/09 memo from Business Administrator Dennis Reichard to City Council member Joe Leeson, acknowledging spending $335,643 in violation of an Ordinance requiring City Council pre-approval. "[M]o member of Council reminded the Administration there was an ordinance ... ."; and (3) a 12/8/09 memo from Business Administrator Dennis Reichard to City Council member Joe Leeson, acknowledging dipping into the treasurer's escrow fund for $2 million more than the $1.8 million authorized by City Council. Because the City paid this sum back, "the Administration feels it did not violate any Ordinance."
