Advice to Kutztown Borough Council

I learned in sixth grade at P.S.14 Corona, Queens, N.Y.C. that Abraham Lincoln stated, "You can fool some of the people all of the time and all the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. All my statements, accusations, criticisms, etc. are true and can be documented. I will respond to all comments that disagree with my facts as stated on this website or in my letters. I am anxious to hear from the Kutztown Borough Council, Mayor Green, Borough Manager\Treasurer Jaymes Vettraino and Information Technology Director Frank Caruso about my statements.
The Patriot of January 3, 2008 indicates that the proposed Total Borough Budget for 2008 is revenue $19.1 million and expenses are $17.5 million, that is $1.6 million excess.
The article also indicates that Telecom Revenue is $2.292 million and expenses are $1.4 million which means, using Borough figures, that Telecom will take in $890, 000 more than it will spend.
If the Borough Budget for 2008 has $1.6 million excess and Telecom has $890,000 in excess, why did you, the Borough Council, vote unanimously to borrow $1.3 million to fund Telecom? The article also states that the $1.3 million loan will be explained in detail in the first quarter of 2008. Why wasn't it explained to the Borough Council and the public before the vote?
