George Wood must have known he had a problem when accusations started to fly against township administrative assistant Gwen Toyzer.
The word was that she had been using a township Fed Ex account to mail items for her personal business.
At least one supervisor was calling for her to be fired.
The problem for Wood, who is the supervisors chairman in Newtown, is that he knew he had a problem in this area. He had apparently done the same thing.
On Monday the county district attorney filed charges against Toyzer, Wood and two other township employees.
Most of this is being dumped in Toyzer’s lap. Wood’s infraction amounted to a loss of $26.
That’s right, you read it correctly. Twenty-six dollars.
Don’t blame the D.A. They could hardly come down on Toyzer and not do the same for others involved.
And now Wood’s case will join the others in working its way through the legal system.
Among the questions that will have to be answered is, if Wood enters a plea or is convicted, will he be able to retain his seat.
Ironically, at the time the D.A. was releasing the information, the Newtown supervisors were supposed to be holding a hearing to review candidates for an opening on the board due to the death of a supervisor.
They might have another opening. All over a $26 Fed Ex bill.
Unreal.
