Margaret Szulborski, a 72 year old grandmother and former Lower Macungie Supervisor, was charged last week with pocketing $2.5 million in sewer fees since 1999. Apparently, her luxurious lifestyle extended beyond her $59,000 salary.
Some suggest that, in addition to buying properties and cars, Szulborski was a frequent and large contributor to Republicans seeking office. I've checked contributions to candidates for state and federal offices, but am been unable to check municipal positions online.
Since 2002, Szulborski has contributed $1500 to the following candidates: $100 each to Jim Anthony and Jerry Snyder (unsuccessful judicial candidates); $100 to Ken DeAngelis (unsuccessful state rep. candidate); $700 to Adam Marles (unsuccessful state rep. candidate); and $500 to Charlie Dent, U.S. Congressman.
There's certainly no evidence any of these folks had the slightest idea that anything was amiss. And I've been unable to uncover any evidence that Szulborski made any large contributions.

DemFly, According to Szulborski's admission, she started doing this in '98, so it clearly is more than $2.5MM. As far as Blake and Adam Marles are concerned, I only know they share the same surname. I don't know that they are related, but that would make sense. I know that Blake either is or was a member of the Republican state committee.
ReplyDeleteSpike, That area is R country, to be sure.
ReplyDeleteAdam Marles is Blake Marles's son.
