Unpaid bill cited as reason

Pembroke Township officials have a meeting Tuesday. And the order of business will deal with a power shut-off that occurred Friday at the township hall.

A delinquent bill is the apparent reason the electricity was shut off. ComEd is owned more than $66,400 in unpaid bills, which officials blame on former township supervisor Leon Mondy.

Mondy faces sentencing in federal court in January and is looking at up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines for stealing township funds. He admitted to using unauthorized cash withdrawals for gambling, while serving in office.

Township business may have to be re-located while officials work with ComEd to restore the power.
