Results of Gilberton Borough Council Meeting

Earlier in the day, Kessler, calling today "D-Day" on his Facebook page, posted the following

"TODAY is D-day , Gilberton Borough officials to hold secret executive termination meeting tonight, 7 pm at borough hall 2710 main street Mahanoy plane, Pa 17949 570-874-470, several borough residents brought this to my attention..... I Have just a FEW THINGS TO STATE !!!! It's truly amazing how the prior Borough secretary allegedly steals well over $10,0000 dollars of tax payer money ," Guess what" I'm told to drop the investigation, unbelievable right ? now you ask why on gods green earth would any one let someone walk away whom allegedly stole over $10,000 dollars from tax payers ? I'll tell you why ? because the prior secretary is related to council members, then another Borough employee broker into borough hall did over $1200.00 dollars in damage, stole $50.00 in petty cash and they didn't want to prosecute ! I drew the line and prosecuted, oh it gets even better, now a third borough employee steals over $2000.00 tax payer dollars , how you ask , well this person was going around filling up drug dealers vehicles with borough gas for drugs!!!!!!! unbelievable right ?? nope, they told me to stop the investigation , why ? because this borough worker is a resident of the borough , and their family is very close to council president Daniel Malloy , in fact this borough worker is the god son of council president Daniel Malloy AMAZING RIGHT! I wonder if Gilberton Council would like me to continue ???? Because i'm just getting warmed up ! and if you think the above is bad, boy that's just the TIP! I left out the part where Vice president Council member Eric boxer ripped down dilapidated properties and buried toxic waste on church ground ! let me repeat that " ON CHURCH OWNED GROUNDS" ?????? REALLY BOXER ????"
