Well, since it was brought up, lets dig in.
Just another reason to not vote for Robin LaPage, Mike Lancot, or Nathan Jordan.
The May 29, 2019, Auditor of Public Accounts report stated the Village of Alvo was in possession of a T.I.N. not belonging to the Village. Exhibit A is a the private T.I.N. account 47-0689378 listed under the Village AND NOT belonging to the Village.
This account was the Alvo Fire and Alvo Rescue trust account.
Now let's see Nebraska State Statue 35-901
"each volunteer department may establish a volunteer department trust fund. All general donations or contributions, bequests, or annuities made to the volunteer department and all money raised by or for the volunteer department shall be deposited in the trust fund. The trust fund shall be under the control of the volunteer department, and the volunteer department may make expenditures from the trust fund as it deems necessary. The treasurer of the volunteer department shall be the custodian of the trust fund."
"The trust fund shall not be considered public funds or funds of any city, village, county, township, or rural or suburban fire protection district for any purpose, including the Nebraska Budget Act, nor shall any city, village, county, township, or rural or suburban fire protection district incur any liability solely by reason of any expenditure from such fund except liability for property when any city, village, county, township, or rural or suburban fire protection district receives title to property acquired with money from such fund."
The May 29, 2019, Auditor of Public Accounts report stated "Due to the fragmentary and incomplete nature of the Village financial records provided to the APA, the legal status, along with the attendant responsibilities, of the Department remains unclear."
Well as we can all see in the already provided supporting evidence; Cass County Judge agrees Robin LaPage was and is WRONG.
Larry Langer and Gary Estes have been a part of the Board of Trustees that have actually taken the time to improve and ensure the complete nature of the Village of Alvos financial records as well as the Village of Alvos Volunteer Fire Departments is provided.
Vote Yes for Larry Langer and Gary Estes for Village of Alvo Board of Trustees
