Chester City’s former recreational services manager has been charged with numerous theft and related offenses for allegedly defrauding the city out of nearly $100,000 by paying “no show” employees at a city owned pool in exchange for kickbacks. Vijay Kapoor, chief of staff for Chester receiver Michael T. Doweary, said the individual resigned last month as the receiver was in the process of having him fired. “These criminal charges validate the receiver’s efforts to try to implement good government reforms in Chester despite being fought every step of the way for the last three years,” Kapoor said. “The Commonwealth Court recognized that in approving the plan modification the receiver filed in November 2022, and the receiver hopes that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will uphold that decision.” This is the second scandal involving government employees in the city this year.
