Things are tough these days, money is tight. This doesn't seem to apply to the AuTrain Township Board. They created a brand new salary for the assistant fire chief. That's right folks;the AuTrain Township Board is now paying out an additional $100 per month of taxpayer money for a position that didn't even have a job description. Supervisor Atherton actually suggested that the salary be $150, along with Treasurer Anne Clapp. There was never a salary for the assistant chief before, why make a new expenditure ? The rational that was given for this new way to give our tax money away was " the fire fund is rich". I really think its time for some change.
