Two Bruno Township leaders are under investigation after Butler County officials learned nearly $18,000 in taxpayer money had been embezzled by the townships’ treasurer, Lisa Quade, between March and December 2007.

Specifically, Quade used her Bruno Township debit card to make ATM withdrawals and personal purchases. As recently as February and March 2008, she also wrote checks to herself in the amount of $1,300 and received cash back from township deposits made to National Bank of Andover.

Three projects will be funded this year out of excess sales tax dollars.

The El Dorado City Commission gave its approval of the recommendation by the Sales Tax Advisory Committee for the uncommitted money at their meeting Monday night.
The recommendation was the conclusion of an ongoing process.
