What BS!!  If there are crimes involved, get on with the trial.  There will eventually be civil lawsuits, so get on with them asap.  The people who had damage to their properties are already getting screwed by the borough as far as valuations (and therefore, taxes) are concerned.  Now it appears as if the State is going to mess with these people, too, by lessening the crimes and punishments these irresponsible idiots committed.  Disgusting!  So much for the State watching out for innocent citizens!
