Rufener Calls for Audit in Monticello

Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/11/2017 - 6:27am

Dear Editor,
The Monticello Village Board is the first in the nation to sell the Legion Home out from under the Veterans.
We are a 96-year-old Post, it seems an audit should be in order to find where the money for a new police car and whatever happened to the $150,000 from the sale of the Legion Home; or a new village board would be in the future.
E. Mike Rufener
