A former Cheektowaga Town Clerk was cleared by county prosecutors this month of any wrongdoing after over 400 electronic files were deleted from her town-issued computer late last year just before leaving office.
The deleted files included balancing worksheets and correspondence from the computer used by Alice Magierski, who left office after a failed bid for town supervisor. When Magierski's former deputy, Vickie L. Dankowski, took office in January, she said she discovered needed files were missing.
The spreadsheets are used for school and county tax collection reports and monthly and end-of-year town clerk balancing reports, Dankowski explained.
"Obviously as a courtesy, one clerk to another, you would flow them over to the next person so they would be able to use them," Dankowski said. "Well, I had nothing."
