BCI Investigation Closed: The Ross Township Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that BCI has completed their investigation. The Board felt it was necessary to initiate this inquiry with a fair and impartial party. For the purpose of openness and transparency, we wanted the residents of Ross Township to be confident that their precious tax dollars are being spent and overseen, wisely. The findings of BCI and the Butler County Prosecutors office are that there is no evidence of any wrong doing and the case is closed.   In the words of  Butler County Prosecutor, Mike Gmoser,  quote   “This is a tempest in a teapot. The investigation is over. Case closed.”   Any recommendations from the BCI investigation will be given the strongest possible consideration so that moving forward, we, along with the Fiscal Officer, the Township Administrator and the department heads can keep Ross Township a great place to live and work.
