June 05--Galloway Township is investigating discrepancies in the account that pays its volunteer firefighters about $130,000 a year.
Township manager Arch Liston said members of the township's fire companies said the individual companies may have misreported how long each firefighter served.
The township funds the "Length of Service Award Program" with about $130,000 a year and each firefighter receives a stipend based on the number of years he or she has served.
Liston said the township has hired former police officer James Bruennenstuhl to review the matter. He will paid no more than $1,000 for the review, Liston said.
A final report is expected to be released by the end of the month, he said.
