PA CHARLESTON — Charleston Board of Supervisors grapples with audit record-withholding dispute. Auditor Cleo Warren accused Secretary Patricia A. Reese of withholding a 2025 audit findings memo and tampering with records, citing a $842 discrepancy between bank statements and audit figures.
Reese contested the allegations, stating documents were attached when the audit was presented April 7, 2026. The board agreed to post the recorded audit and findings document online. In routine business, the supervisors unanimously approved a $450-per-session mowing contract with resident Dale Collins for twice-monthly maintenance of five cemeteries and the Township Building, contingent on proof of insurance.
