The township budgeted $40,000 for legal expenses and with two months left in the current fiscal year has spent $31,834.38. The same amount was earmarked for legal fees in 2011-12, with $14,311 actually being spent.
The difference in the two years is increased scrutiny over how the township handles the public’s money, sparked primarily by two issues that arose in 2011-12.
One of them was the attempted purchase of the old Eagle’s Club building on Locust Avenue. Township voters rejected that acquisition during a town hall meeting in October 2011.
