Alleged $400,000 Theft from Fire Company a Shocking Betrayal: Letter to the Editor

Hellertown resident Ron Shegda says the alleged theft of nearly $400,000 from Dewey Fire Company is a sign of moral devolution, both locally and nationally.

To the Editor:
I just sent a check to support Dewey and feel immeasurably betrayed.
Our nation and town have signs of devolution. The story here is that money was allegedly stolen to support a gambling habit, where I vociferously opposed the plan for a casino in our midst. Hellertonians at the time rejected my plea at the polls.
We reap what we sow! (Galatians 6:7-10) We need greatness, not grand theft!
