Expungegate

Has former Hamilton Township mayor, Kelly Yaede, reimbursed the township for the payment of $6,250 in legal fees paid to her attorney for defending her in the Expungegate mess?

If Ms. Yaede has trouble repaying the debt, I am sure her supporters can launch a GoFundMe account to get her out from under the amount owed to the township.

If the township is forgiving the debt, tax laws require that the forgiveness be reported to the Internal Revenue Service, with the amount listed as taxable ordinary income on Ms. Yaede’s federal income tax return.

Can The Trentonian assign Isaac Avilucea to do a followup article on this matter?
