Alden Township Supervisor Preston Rea says MFT is in his township’s audit.
Please take note that Motor Fuel Tax is included in the Alden Township Audit.
Is it intentional that Algonquin Township doesn’t include the $87,000 plus in the audit, making their revenue appear less than it actually is?
wonder if there aren’t other financing sources unreported.

It use to be called two sets of books.
Other than Alden township, it appears that 16 of 17 townships in McHenry County do not accurately reflect the funds available for road district road maintenance.
