3-25-08 2006 and 2007 Budgets Still Unavailable
Tuesday March 11, 2008 I was at the Borough Hall and asked to see the 2006 and 2007 Budgets and was told by Director of Marketing Communications and Customer Relations/Assistant Secretary/Office Manager Gina Wiand and Finance Director/Assistant Treasurer Russ Samilo that they were unavailable and I was again offered the 2008 Budget. I stated that a comment on my website www.marinoreport.com stated that a party received copies of both Budgets yesterday at the Borough Hall in 60 seconds. They did not respond. I then asked if the 2006 Budget was ever advertised in a newspaper they both stated it was but would not tell me the newspaper or the date. Mr. Samilo then asked if I wanted the Budget or the financial report and I stated you know what I want to see, I want to see the revenue and expenses for HU in 2006 and 2007. I received no response. Again I repeat this is a violation of the Borough Code and I have brought this to the attention of:
Governor Rendell
Attorney Generals
Auditor Generals
District Attorneys
State Senator Mike O’Pake
State Representative Carl Mantz
The Borough’s Independent Auditor Long & Barrell
Borough Solicitors Dietrich and Mooney
The U.S. Attorney in Philadelphia
The Federal Bureau of Investigation
The Reading Eagle Editor
The Morning Call Editor
I might add that the above mentioned agencies and offices have also been notified that the Kutztown Budget is falsified and the Borough has published many fraudulent reports.
I think the Borough Council, Mayor Green, Borough Manager\Treasurer Vettraino and Borough Employees that are responsible for the above violations should either answer me and defend themselves or resign. There is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Vettraino resigned and is leaving because the Borough’s finances are hopeless and on the verge of bankruptcy. I think the Borough has lost its (AAA) triple A credit rating.

Mr. Marino: You are reporting these violations to 12 different agencies, and no one is listening to you. What does this tell you ... ? Either they do not care, they do not believe you, or they are all in cahoots with the borough gang. Hard to believe that you may be right, and everyone else is wrong. Frank C.
uh oh...things seem like they're heading south pretty fast, vettraino is skipping town and the borough is running out of loot. thanks to the investigative reporting of the marino report, we may be looking at jail time for more than one council member.
good work jerry, keep the borough honest!
btw--what's up with the historic street lamps,
...only half finished?
i asked to see the 06-07 budgets and was told they are in the back , and unavailable ...although i was allowed to see the 08 w/ copies @25cents a page .pretty much bullshit. those lights really make me want to visit town...i can't park , but the lights make it easier for me to see my parking ticket when i do find a spot.
also , like rats jumping from a sinking ship , (no offense , brandon), our manager has decided to leap. it makes you wonder?
