Small-Town Scandal

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Lawrence County Tempest: Treasurer’s public, private life investigated

“I’ve been here for 27 years,” confides one longtime employee at the courthouse in New Castle, “and this is our best scandal.” This one’s about unpaid taxes, questionable financial deals and clandestine sex parties, all focused on a county treasurer who has apparently fled the state in the wake of relentless hounding by the local newspaper, the New Castle News.

You gotta love small-town shenanigans.

  1. Oh yeah, small-town America…having lived it the past 20+ years, I couldn’t agree more. And it’s always the one(s) you would never imagine…the preacher, the sheriff, etc. Everybody knows what’s going on, too..that’s the fun part:)
