"$39.5 million was set aside for the new criminal justice complex, but because the cash was thrown into the general fund in the budget instead of its own account, only $7.4 million has been used for the project... Water bills also remain unpaid, with $3.1 million overdue by at least 60 days... Other findings include shoddy record-keeping of contingency, or emergency, budget funds, former town employees that were never purged from payroll records, and 24 former staffers who are no longer on the job but still have access to accounting and operations programs."

McGoey, an attorney and former bank auditor, is in his second term on the Ardsley village Board of Trustees."
