Boynton records investigated Clerk/Treasurer forced to release utility records showing $8K, $7K, other deliquent bills By Donna HalesPhoenix Staff Writer “They (trustees) had a long discussion on it,” Osburn said. “They need to come together and figure out a new policy. They can’t agree.”
She said she had been working as clerk/treasurer at Boynton since 1991 after being appointed and has been re-elected every four years since. But deputies haven’t found records of elections yet, Pearson said. Boynton resident Lucile Lang, 80, said there are no written ballots in the town elections. People just write their choice for trustee on a little sheet of paper. They usually put them in a hat, she said. Last month, two people were running for council and they put their little slips of paper in a soup bowl “and they spilled out onto the floor,” Lang said. The votes were then taken into another room and counted out of sight of voters. About 40 people cast ballots in the last election, Lang said. Pearson said state auditors will be called in to go over the town records and determine if favoritism is practiced in town government. Reach Donna Hales at 918-684-2923 or Click Here to Send Email
