He only recently (March) made a couple of payments himself AFTER being caught by one of the trustees. Does that answer why he resigned? He hid the credit card bills with electronic payments, when he bothered to pay, so there was no trail unless you could find the hidden bills. Which one hardworking trustee did after having unanswered questions for awhile.The Truthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-84010258037565949392010-06-04T04:45:04.000-04:002010-06-04T04:45:04.000-04:00Jeff Passante, has resigned as president WHY?Jeff Passante, has resigned as president WHY?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-58183560133463785822010-05-30T12:53:28.000-04:002010-05-30T12:53:28.000-04:00I think this site serves a real purpose, and I lov...I think this site serves a real purpose, and I love John being adult enough to admit making a mistake.

He should have been arrested already, but DOL and US Attorney never seem to do their job when it comes to our council. And again it was a member who brought the criminality on Passntes part to light, and not the DC's accountant or the DOL. And now word whatsoever from Torrance and Zornberg!

I know from board members Mike Zemski never spent any money on himself as Jeff did. Delegate has it almost right in that Passante used the card hundreds of time at delis , gas stations (where he bought cigarettes, coffee and other personal stuff) over 8 or 9 years. He has paid 15000 to date and that number will be higher. He started to pay when the current trustee started sniffing around, a small amount, and after being caught he suddenly paid alot more. And no they were not at the council yesterday.The Truthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-84792342956845925892010-05-27T09:52:56.000-04:002010-05-27T09:52:56.000-04:00if this is true??? how is this even possibble!!!!if this is true??? how is this even possibble!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-75378625248903909452010-05-27T09:23:03.000-04:002010-05-27T09:23:03.000-04:00This is totally untrue.
