Historic Carousel Caught in the Crossfire
The Carousel at Pottstown, built in 1905 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, is part of a local entertainment venue. It survived the Great Depression and decades of restoration efforts, only to now face financial turmoil over alleged fraud.
Sager’s involvement with the nonprofit dates back to 2013, when he represented it in a legal matter. He later joined the board in 2018, eventually positioning himself at the center of the scandal.
Legal Battle Begins
Sager did not respond to requests for comment on Friday. Prosecutors Gwendolyn Kull and Robert George are leading the case.
Legal counsel for Sager was not immediately available.
