Miller says Reed actions “no different than Enron”

Harrisburg City Councilman Dan Miller said last night that what began as an innocent request for the financial statements pertaining to the fiscal performance of the Harrisburg Senators became a fiasco of stonewalling and “delay, defer, and deflect” sidestepping by the Reed Administration.

Likening Mayor Reed’s now-proven-false statements of financial gains over the past ten years to the likes of the Enron scandal, Miller also vehemently urged all media present to accurately and swiftly distribute this potentially career-crushing information.

In a press release issued today, Miller states “The facts are clear; the Mayor issued false and misleading financial information which was subsequently published in the Harrisburg Patriot News. If this weren’t bad enough he tried to cover it up by delaying by more than a year my request to release the audited financial statements,” said Harrisburg City Councilman, Dan Miller. “This isn’t about the Senator’s financial results, although they are bad, this is really about the Mayor’s credibility. Issuing false and misleading financial information is exactly why former Enron and Tyco executives are currently serving jail time. When an elected official violates the public trust then their credibility in all areas is severely in question.”

The revelations are additionally damaging for Reed and Co. as the Mayor is currently endorsing council-hopeful Brad Koplinski in the upcoming City Council elections this coming November.

No additional information has been released regarding Reed’s demands for a recount of the May Primary elections.
