While many municipalities are struggling to stay afloat and even to meet payroll, Hanover Township is in strong financial shape. Independent auditor Todd Bushta told Supervisors at their April 28 meeting that the Township actually had a $1 million profit last year, although $732,000 of that money was used to pay off a note and reduce debt. He offered a clean and unqualified opinion, and was unable to find any instances of noncompliance with governmental accounting standards.
The Township's pension fund is 100% funded and fully liquid as well. Overall, there's a $7.5 million fund balance.
The only debt left is a $700,000 note from 2006. Township Manager Jay Finnigan recommended paying it off to escape interest payments.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
