Mayor Sells Corry Bond Under Third Class Code
Corry officials face scrutiny after treasurer Carlton Smith’s bond sold through Kinley Insurance Agency owned by Mayor Fred Kinley. County share of $110.75 plus costs are split among city county and Corry school district, as Smith collects taxes for all three. The mayor disclosed his personal interest at a council meeting and cited legal advice from Senator Roger Brown, citing Third Class City Code that forbids voting on matters where there is a personal interest and imposes potential forfeiture.
