More Atkinson Accounting Abuses

ARTICLE SUBMISSION: From the Eagle Tribune; Anonymous said... June 6, 2012 Atkinson audit shows need to separate funds By Cara Hogan chogan@eagletribune.com The Eagle Tribune Wed Jun 06, 2012, 01:50 AM EDT ATKINSON — An audit of the town's books turned up a problem in the financial reporting of two different nonprofit funds. The town's yearly audit report, conducted by Tim Greene, partner at accounting firm Roberts and Greene, came out this week. Greene said the audit found the Police Detail Fund and Recreation Revolving Fund were not separated correctly in the town's financial reports. "It has to do with internal reporting," he said. "They report both in one fund. I'm recommending that they track the funds separately. It's two separate activities, so you want to keep them separate." He said the finances of the two funds are not mixed up, but it's an internal issue that needs to be fixed so there is no mix-up in the future. Selectmen's Chairman Fred Childs said the board plans to fix the issue. "We'll change it; it's very simple," he said. "That will be done right away." This is not the first time Atkinson has had an issue with two different town funds being connected in some way. The state Attorney General's Charitable Trust Unit investigated the joint accounting between the Elderly Affairs Department and the Police Department in 2008. The state ruled the two groups had to separate their funding because of a conflict of interest. Childs said the past issues make the board eager to alter the finances of the two funds now. "This is sort of similar to the Elderly Affairs and the Police Department," Childs said. "It's two different accounts, so they can be looked at separately." Police Chief Philip Consentino said he was concerned to hear there was any confusion in that fund, but glad to hear it will be quickly resolved. "It's classified under one fund, where there could be 10 or 12 individual funds," he said. "They want the police department separate from everything, which is absolutely fantastic. It will be rectified and nothing has gone astray. My money is safe." The Police Detail Fund is money that comes from every officer who works an outside detail job, he said. "Every time an officer goes out on detail, X number of dollars from each hourly wage goes to the special fund," Consentino said. "So ,whenever a cruiser is used, $10 goes into the account. That special account can only be used for capital expenses for the police department. It has nothing to do with recreation." Otherwise, the town had no financial problems, according to Greene. "We had no other significant comments," he said. NOTE TO PHIL: IT IS NOT YOUR MONEY! IT IS THE TAXPAYERS, YOU ARROGANT.........

How would one know if a cruiser went on a detail and put $10.00 in the account? One wouldn't. There's no checks and balances of the management.

Not a big deal. The audit passed on some advise. No Abuse was spoken of except by the biased blog owner, and it will be rectified.

ROFL, Will it be rectified the way the Police Donation Account was rectified?

Consentino is always involved in fund mismanagement. Someone should follow him around to see where the money comes from and goes.

Golly, guys. We need that cash now. A kid just got his eye put out cause a baseball hit a dry dog turd and slammed into the dougout.

You boys understand one hand can only wash the other...IF WE GET WATER NOW!!!!!

Let me get this straight.

Town meeting approves the money to water the Jack Sapia Memorial Ball Field.

All those dear mothers their darling kids drug into town meeting. Just too cool. Live TV coverage goes to the elderly voters getting free services from the APD. OH, it was a beautiful slam dunk.

But!

The the voters of the town...they went to the polls and threw it down and stomp on it's head.

Then everything goes silent

but

the money comes to water the dry fields mysteriously?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

The two separate donation accounts get mixed up. Ahhhh.

How did that happen under the watchful eyes of our selectmen...protecting the taxpayers?

So, we know the police detail fund Capital Reserve Fund...got mysteriously mixed in with Jack Sapia's pet project to water the ball fields!

The rump-swab selectmen quickly rump wash off the rumps. "YOUR MONEY IS SAFE!" Never forget.

BECAUSE

There is so much water coming off those ball fields for rump-swabbing (now-a-days).

Selectman "Todd The Nodd" is watching all of this and can't make up his mind if there is any problem in town or not!

Now, Lieutenant Baldwin at least he knew and is honest about it all. Baldwin knows a crook from a bag of elbows....but he makes mac and cheese anyway. It is comfort food, you see, for this sleepy little town of Atkinson.

Town gets $20. How sweet it is.

Anonymous said...

Where does the money go? In Consentino's detail account that Sapia gets for the water on the ball fields, or does the Chief and Sapia put it all in their pocket?
Does the .38 go into the selectmen's pocket with the police officer getting nothing? Perhaps this is how the selectmen get a bonus while protecting the Conman. The Mafia wishes they had such a sweet deal. Then again, perhaps the Mafia lives in our Town Hall and party on our tax dollars.

Anonymous said...

Is that $38.00 under the table? Cause we got a whole lot of people who are helping to keep the corruption in place. There must be some incentive to do so.

Anonymous said...

I, too, was aghast when Consentino was quoted as saying "My money is safe."
He really is a psycho in charge of our police services.

Can anyone explain to me why if the account can only be used for police whatevers, is it called the Recreation Fund. What is the account number under Police Dept.


Selectmen are sorely in need of getting an audit done of this Police Department.

To 5:15pm;

Unless it has changed, since I was on budget, The town charges Fairpoint $48.00 + $10.00 if car is there. THis ALL goes into Police detail revolving fund account. OUT of that account is paid the officers pay, FICA, and retirement for those hours. The balance at each town meeting may be spent on items that will offset costs in the police budget.

So, as usual, nobody knows what is coming into the account. Bottom line, corruption.

Fred Childs casually looked into it and certifies he will make the pig meat kosher. Too bad he didn't make the pig kosher with the findings from the MRI report. It exposed the problems with the APD. Kosher Salt and redact the MRI report. An act that shows what they are made of and their total failure to insure a functional police department or Elderly Affairs Program. But then the APD is now part of Jack's Recreation Fund so everything completely makes sense.

What Todd and Friel and Childs and Polito and Conan and killiam and Garity want is everyone to be nice because NICE PEOPLE do not stand up to corruption. Nice people go along to get along. So keep your head down, do what you are told and be nice.

Makes you want to vomit. But, do it at home. It is not nice to do when corruption gets exposed. It is not polite.

Everybody be nice and bend over and hold your ankles.

In Concentration camps the SS guards encouraged everone to be nice. The good news, all obedient and nice people did get a free SS complementary shower.

Then he goes back in town hall, slams the door, lies to the ethics committee and resigns.

Nowadays he is busy counting the cash from the police detail fund. One for you, two for me. Two for you, $3,000 for me.

These public servants are so kind to the taxpayers. We owe them the shirts off our backs.

He lied to the ethics committee. Then resigned. Nice.

Here is how it works. Because there is poor to no law enforcement, favors get done like joining the police fund with the recreation fund. Then the selectmen must hide the facts from the votes how all the money got spent. These ways of doing things trickle down to others. Even committee chairman (recreation etc) assume rightly that they can behave however they choose and disobey the law.

Committees then act like the select board as there s no obedience to the law in Atkinson unless an accountant turns over the facts to a newspaper.

I find Mr. Friel amusing. He's a side act at a circus show talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time while the words come out of Fred's. Highly entertaining. And he's quite a storyteller too. He'll tell ya exactly what you want to hear.

His only problem, people he lies to on each side of an issue know it. We've caught on to the game. he lies so much he can't keep track of 'em of all. You know yer in trouble then.

No we're not all your fools Bill. I wonder if your poor wife knows half the garbage you sell each day. I bet not. She'd be appalled if she knew the truth how you lie to so many people. Nobody can figure why you lie so much. Kinda bizarre dontcha think?

Just my humble opinion

Anonymous said...

They should all be ashamed of themselves for not doing something about this. Year after year we elect a new selectman and year after year we are stuck with people who do not take their responsibility seriously.

I used to support Friel but he sits on his hands and lets this situation with Consentino continue. I am not of fan any longer. That goes without saying for Fred too. And Todd had better stop waiting to be convinced. The fact is, the Chief has got to go. Even one resident being denied services is enough reason to fire him. 30 years of the bs is too much. Fools.

8:54 , Where is it said that I/we have to be "kind and gentle" to ask that justice be done by the selectmen? They know the Conman has cost the town a fortune and he is the only N.H.towns non qualified police chief. He should be sent on his way because of his lack of police qualifications. When did some one else say he hasn't been appointed as chief? The selectmen know this answer among the many other foolish and stupid past actions he is guilty of committing. Where are these officials that were elected to do the job they were given? If they have no guts to fire the Conman then they should tell him to retire in the public interest. His age factor alone and his past to present health is enough to see them do what most people talked to want the Conman do . The three elected selectmen would be far from being honest and truth knowledgeable if they let this to continue by their turning a blind eye on what is now and has gone on for years. And you talk about nepotism? That is nothing to all that has happened up to now. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!!!

Phil just want ya to know I got your junk mail. Yer a police officer using a non-profit to pay for postage of a mailer, sending out what looks to be like official town business. You sign it as Chief of Police and Director of EA (you are soooooooooooo important). Den ya go on to lie to people about your CONFIDENTIAL database, that legally can't be kept confidential, and ask for donations. What kind of junk is this?

It's a given that the Atkinson Police are never, ever going to enforce anything as long as Consentino is around and asking them to is a waste of time. I don't know why every Selectman automatically becomes oblivious to the problems and complaints and enable him but I think the only recourse any of us have is to sue in civil court when something happens.

It's a real disgrace when the town tolerates the bullying and no one stands up for what's right. There are no real men left in the world, only cowards.

You'd be surprised at what I do in and out of town with out being told that I should do what you should be doing instead of being another persons writing critic. If you do not like what some persons writing skills are then do what I suggested to you or go elsewhere to spread your unwanted and unwarranted English major bull crap. Your not perfect either are you ? If you were the town would welcome your input and your running things to over come the towns crazy difficult problems.

With out every one who have written here there wouldn't be any expression of thought let alone communication of what is going on in town. There are others who have made mistakes in their use of english and grammar and those who have read their messages understand what their meaning and thoughts are. They and me in particular do not need you to be an English and grammar critic of what we write here. We make our points and right or wrong but you can't seem to accept it. What if it were a point of right over wrong would you say the right is wrong because of a persons writing failures? If you can't accept that then leave and go elsewhere where your superior attitudes would be acceptable. If your so superior to we peons your not in the right site. Go away and leave us alone . Especially so because we,the less than perfect that you are do not need you here. Got the message yet? Oh !!! by the way!!!!!

Too bad what happened to the fireworks addicts in Plaistow.

How many boxes will they buy to disturb their neighbors next year????????????????????????

"More than 90 boxes of fireworks were seized from the 40 Dodge Road home Wednesday, the day after the fireworks explosion.

The incident happened shortly after 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Some witnesses recounted hearing a large explosion, feeling their houses shake and seeing one person blown off a deck of the two-story colonial home."

Well. Was that an adult blown off the deck or one of the 2 toddlers that ended up in the hospital?

Fireworks are a genuine threat! Help your neighbors. Call the cops if your peace of mind is ruined.

11:25 , It is not in all fun. It is a pain in the rear to have these or those being critical of other posters . I honestly believe the responder is the chief and family that makes this site what it is presently. This isn't good for any one here and I ask it that it stops. Yes, I know it will not because of all the strife in town politics that the majority seems to have no say in. I say that because if the majority had its say then the troublesome officials would be gone from their positions. I blame the selectmen for not doing their job to rid all the crazy things that go on by/and ridding the town of its troublesome officials. Another words ,selectmen, get off your asses and do what is right by the majority and not the lesser few who seem to be running things and, as seems apparently, yourselves that are so offensive and detrimental to the well being of the community. To 10:22, It isn't garbage its people pissed off and tired of the same old thing in town be it corruption accusations, verified or alleged illegal actions by some community members. Looking at what has happened with the continual court actions and civil suits that has cost the town and insurance companies dearly and that's not to say any thing at all about the towns notable state and country wide reaction.I refer to the Halloween fiasco and the many law suits. It is time to at least remove the chief of police and his department family members. Im'm tired of paying the established high taxes that could be lower if this were done . No need to respond to my rant but I ask that you consider what I've written here and act on it if you decide I have a point worthy of doing so.

7:28@11:25, Have you stopped to think why he,the Conman,is or even has the problem of doing "the best he can with what he has"? My answer to that ,and I say my answer to it is simply this-1.he caused himself and the town more headaches than he is worth politically and as chief 2. he refuses to retire and let the ranks move up in the dept 3.he is the reason for the big turn over in the police dept. [Who wants to stay with all the problems there and no way of advancing career wise] 4. his actions from way back have caused the town a fortune. As for the selectmen they haven't the guts to put this well into retirement age old horse down as its chief . Some one wrote recently that the Conman has to have something on them and it were the reason for their lack of action to force or other wise make him retire. Personally ,if this were the case then it would be a Mexican stand off between them all. They and he would be facing the courts with each of them having to tell publicly what is and has gone on . Each wouldn't want to do that if they were of right mind would they? If this is true then the right thing for the Conman to do is to retire and all involved would be happy . What member of the BOS or the chief wants to face the courts and public and have the possibility of a prison sentence at their ages?

Anonymous said...

Except that they are not arguing in public, like what would be done in other towns and states. It is always going on behind the scenes and Cong threatens them and invokes lawyers and bullies them just like us. I have always said to bite the bullet and cut him lose, let the chips fall where they may. Nothing is worth this being drawn out any longer.

Anonymous said...

And that is no lie!! There has only really been the screaming put downs by the Conman heard at BOS meetings while he acted as a selectman and as the chief. Where were the selectmen during those many times of his tirades. They did nothing really but to allow him to do it. As for the selectmen being present at these times I ask why didn't they or the chair at least call for order and reprimand censure him?

1:34 pm , This site is where it can start and it is anonymous posting from its readers that is a and the beginning. You do realize that there are many who read this site and do not post here. To some it may be amusing to read what goes on by the frustration of the posters that say what they do about what goes on in town. That may be the case but they also know what is said id also the truth. The selectmen read or hear what is said here and should act on this sites truth and do what they should to rid the town of its problem,the chief. The many who want him out are more than the few who use the elderly shuttle that are afraid they will not have the free rides to here and there. What they don't realize is that the srvice will continue with or with outy the chief. - A question to these elderly people that use the service - If the chief were to retire or pass on do you really think and feel the service will go with him? I think not.

The general opinion of the Town employees is that they work for the Town, not the residents. It is an ignorant opinion if you ask me.

Nothing about these lawsuits ever helped the town or the residents, only the Chief. A selfish sense of entitlement prevails.

To the following- 7/11@ 9:23,10:27,6:09,7/12 @ 8:21, 10:20, 11:38,- In order of response, 9:23 I agree completely. I have followed this fiasco and its bullying of their neighbor and the town for years and I'm ashamed of having to pay my taxes for the mistakes ,and knowingly so by them and the courts, on the part of the Osborns, 6:09 , They certainly do but have not done any thing as yet. Question is will they do any thing at all. If not then revolt and get them out of their position[s]., 8:21, There can be no doubt that I agree with you.All it takes is one who has the guts and time to devote to the office run for.,10:20, The town is its residents and business people that pay taxes. They are the town not the "crooks" in high office places in town. I agree with your last paragraph fully and I am sick and tired of paying my taxes for the dumb,foolish actions of those who allow the chief to get away his actions and I'm not an Atkinson resident and have pay for this Atkinson craziness with my states property taxes., 11:38, The town has to get its money be it by force or by agreement with the Osborn family and I certainly do not want pay their share of what they have done with their establish illegal doings and the judgements placed upon them for having done so. I do not live in your town and see no reason why I should pay their freight with my share of state property taxation.

The State doesn't pay for the Atkinson craziness. The Town portion of the tax bill goes directly to the town. You are mistaken if you think that as a Derry resident you are paying for the Osborn legal bill.

Sorry, but you are wrong. If they own property in this town and have to pay taxes on it, a portion goes to the legal problems the selectmen cause. There are no free lunches, just corrupt selectmen, TA, Police Chief, Planning Board, ZBA officials, and Town Moderator that push their agenda through the system. They are the ones that cause all the legal problems, and the out of town property owner doesn't get a vote to say how their money is being spent.

Perhaps we should change the law to allow those people to vote in elections and at town meeting.

Wake up and smell the coffee! We all pay for it by paying our property tax. Where in Gods earth did you get this answer? Was it from the Conman or the tax office and that includes the state office?

I forgot that your one of the rich in the town that doesn't care where your dollar goes so please forgive me.

The state does give the town money. All you have to do is look at the roadways and the many other things the state contributes to . Look into the towns grants and other things that the state sends the town. The towns books are full of of things the state subsidizes and gives it. You seem to be blind to what is mentioned here. Is it because you choose to or just that dumb not to see what is in the towns coffers? What is written some what frequently in the newspapers and internet should be enough to see that the state does contribute with non residents taxes that they pay. Let me ask if the state gives monies to the following. Elderly assistance in any form, plowing of roads that you ride on, grants for recreational use. grants for police and fire departments, and on and on.,etc.etc,etc. How can you say the out of towners aren't paying some of your town expenses with their tax dollars? Where in God's creation did you get the idea that you only pay for the towns taxes and its support of running it? Who do you think pays for the use of the courts when the Conman screws up ? Who do you think pays the higher rates the insurance companies charge us all after paying off the winner of a suit? Do you think it is only the towns taxpayer? You best wake up and SMELL THE COFFEE that is your towns stink that we all pay for!! You want lower taxation then do the right thing and vote but not for those that keep the tax rates high as they are. Wake up and really look into the towns books, insurance pay outs and before you make another dumb statement. They should all be easy enough for you to see because of the Right To Know laws. That is unless Atkinson has its own laws .

Atkinson is run on the money it gets from the property owners paying taxes here. They pay their legal bills from that portion of the bill and the state portion of the tax bill goes to the state, it's right on the bill, read it.

People here on the blog who admit they don't live here don't pay for this as we do. Our money goes directly into Cons pocket and pays Sumner.

Sure, some money that goes to the state pays for courts and roads etc. but that is not what was presented by the out of towner. He complained that he was paying for the Osborn legal and he is not. That burden is in Atkinson.

Anonymous said...

Atkinson has one of the lower tax rates around so I don't understand where the complaint about the tax rate comes from. As far as state, we pay about 2 million in state school tax and get back about 1 million. The annual report lists about 500K in revenues from the state, but when you factor in the state portion of car registrations it balances out. On the whole, we pay out more than we get back so the claim that other towns are subsidizing Atkinson is false if you care to actually look at the facts.
