The concerns over the Federal Emergency Funds Program have been well documented on this site including having been noted in the documents sent to the Attorney Generals office. So then would would Morrison County United Way (MCUW) turn the program over to the individual whose management of the funds is currently in question? It would seem that in an attempt to maintain credibility within the community that Ted Pfohl would have been kept as far away from the Morrison County United Way office as possible at least until the Attorney General had completed its investigation. Instead, Ted has had access to the office, attended board meetings and now it appears that the MCUW Board has turned over management of the very program in question to none other than Ted Pfohl and Pine Country Bank.
So do the federal dollars deposit into Pine Country Bank or the United Way’s General Fund? What about applicants…if I had a loan at Pine Country Bank would I really want to ask them for emergency dollars? What about data privacy laws…if Ted can work his bank job and oversee the emergency funds why can’t Board President Teresa Schmitz who works in Human Resources at Morey’s Seafood.
If something improper had happened who would be the only person who knew exactly where all the evidence was? I certainly hope they are familiar with Sarbanes Oxley…
