Dan Hunsinger, who retired from the Kingston Police Department in March to take the job of chief in neighboring Forty Fort, further said he was being attacked by the news media and his former bosses Mayor James Haggerty and administrator Paul Keating for the violation. KINGSTON - The municipality’s former assistant police chief on Saturday admitted violating Kingston’s 2009 payment policy for special detail officers but disputed a finding of an internal investigation that he covered up the practice of paying them in cash.

Mundie’s research shows Hazleton area properties are selling 25 percent to 30 percent below assessments on average, he said, and he stressed “They promised to keep up with reassessments to be fair.” The reassessment included a non-binding commissioner resolution to revalue all properties every four years to keep the assessments fresh, but county officials have rejected the provision, apparently believing the assessments are still accurate enough. “Here it is five years later, and our area is still paying an unfair share,” said Mundie. Mundie told county officials many assessments in his area were too high when the last reassessment took effect in 2009, and the situation hasn’t improved, he said. Hazleton City Councilman Jack Mundie said he’s surrounded by examples of this scenario, which is why he’s pushing county officials to honor the county’s past pledge to conduct a countywide reassessment every four years.
