WESTFIELD – The city’s tax collector’s office is the target of an investigation into allegations of missing funds.
An independent audit found “some irregularities” in the tracking of tax collection receipts, Police Capt. Michael McCabe confirmed on Thursday.
McCabe and tax collector Michael McMahon each confirmed there is an ongoing investigation, but McMahon said he’d been advised by the city's Law Department to make no comment on the matter.
There have been news reports that as much as $60,000 may be missing from the city coffers.
