SCRANTON – The local government was hit with an inside job as Karen McGinnis, 46, of Mountain Top, got locked up for 20 months after swindling over $400K from Fairview Township. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, McGinnis, who was in charge of property tax collection between March 2023 and January 2025, made a mockery of her duties. She funneled the town’s hard-earned dollars into her personal accounts through deceitful check writing. Judge Karoline Mehalchick’s sentence included a three-year supervised release post-prison and a hefty restitution order for $367,088.35. IRS-Criminal Investigation was instrumental in unraveling this web of financial deceit.
