Dear Editor:
During the Tuesday, July 11 Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council meeting, an emergency appropriation was presented to the council to pay a $290,000 settlement to Morris Township.
CFO, Ann Cucci, and BA, Ellen Sandman, described the appropriate manner an unexpected, large payment is made. Cucci goes as far as to explain that the term emergency simply means that a significant payment needs to be made that was not in the budget. Clearly they know budget law and the appropriate way to abide by it.
Why didn’t they do the same thing for the Aurora payment?
This is a clear indication they knew better and manipulated the council and the people of Parsippany to pay the $250,000 to Aurora Information Systems.
BA Sandman and CFO Cucci need to answer the questions that James Carfi posed several meetings ago. Specifically, they need to answer for their comments about taking care of the Aurora thing to protect the mayors attorney.
Additionally, there needs to be an investigation to get to the bottom of what they did.
Sincerely
Alex Brown
