Excerpts from HeraldNews.com: Plainfield Fire Protection District Chief David Riddle recently announced that he has instructed his staff to halt the purchase of specific items following an acknowledgment that the district may have improperly used public funds on certain purchases last year. This decision came after the Edgar County Watchdogs revealed that between August 2014 and November 2015, the fire district spent over $11,900 on what they considered questionable purchases made using fire department credit cards. These included Christmas gifts, edible arrangements, flowers, massages, food, and parties. "The changes are immediate," Riddle stated. "I've told staff that we won't be buying flowers or edible arrangements for immediate family members of those who passed away, among other items." Riddle also mentioned that he will now take a more active role in overseeing the district’s Foreign Fire Tax Board, which had previously come under scrutiny for spending over $12,000 on 150 personalized blankets and throw pillows for staff and others in November and December. He added that these types of purchases, funded by the board, will also stop right away. "That’s all we can ask for," said Kraft regarding Riddle's response to the watchdog group’s findings. "Except for possibly getting reimbursement from whoever was making the purchases, we generally just want them to stop doing it." The credit card transactions included over $1,325 for the annual Turkey Raffle charity auction, $1,300 in Christmas gifts, $1,490 for a retirement party, $724 in edible arrangements, $165 in flowers, $714 for a hog roast, $67.99 for corncob pipes, $75 for massages, and $6,045 for food and events. Riddle admitted he agrees with some of the watchdog group’s assessment, noting that flowers and other gifts are often sent to the families of deceased individuals. "I can make a case that some of these purchases support the fire department," Riddle said. "But on the other hand, it may not be a good use of taxpayer money." Riddle became chief about a year ago, but he believes these purchases were part of long-standing traditions that began when the district was still a volunteer organization decades ago.
