Abuse of Power #213: West Seneca police chief has gas


The crime of using town cars at the expense of the taxpayer is becoming so common, I'm actually surprised now when it doesn't happen. West Seneca Police Chief Edward Gehen makes $115,000/year in that job. Because he must want to move to Orchard Park someday, Gehen also works part time at ECC as a security officer. He uses the town issued car (and gas) to get from West Seneca to ECC(In true investigative fashion, Bflo News journalist Mary Pasciak doesn't specify which campus Gehen drives to??? Apparently, she is unaware of the fact there are three campuses spread out throughout WNY.)

Gehen justifies the use of the car by saying he is often called from his security job at ECC to handle town crime. So, not only is this guy getting free gas from West Seneca taxpayers, he's also getting paid to do two jobs at once. I'm sure this makes the people at ECC feel real safe. But what would they care? Jack Quinn, the President of the school, is a complete tool anyway. He's so dense, he doesn't know his ass from page 10. Hey greedy police chief: Drive your own car to work and fill up at NOCO like the rest of us.
