Scottsdale District Untouched by Marston’s Leasing Case
A Scottsdale School District official said charges against Marston's Inc. over excessive interest rates and illegal building practices do not affect the district. Reisnes Ely Beck & Co. investigates over 20 Marston's lease purchases through First National Bank. District manager Jack Kearney notes the district avoids lease purchases and has adequate local funds. Marston's recent two month classroom-sits suspension also does not impact Scottsdale as there is no current deal with the firm.
