Kutztown Borough Council President Malcolm Eidle
Kutztown Borough Hall
Dear Mr. President,
Under your leadership the Borough has submitted a bid to Kutztown University to provide Cable TV and internet services. It is illegal for you and the Borough Council to put Borough funds at risk for Hometown Utilicom which is a business venture. How can you submit a sealed and secret bid to the University when all financial books and records can be reviewed by the public? How did you put together a bid when Information Technology Director Caruso was unable to draft a Business Plan for HU? How did you submit a bid when Mr. Caruso stated the Borough could not fulfill the contract? How can the University, a State Agency, legally accept a bid from a municipality then not state if they received it? Did the Borough provide a bid bond?
This demonstrates that you and the borough have no idea or plan as to what you are doing. You have not answered any of my charges or accusations. You can not deny any of the above facts because they were printed in the Reading Eagle.
By the way why wasn’t the 2006 Audit submitted to the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas? Is the Auditor finalizing the 2007 Audit that should have been published in a local newspaper by March 31,2008?

"What we have here is a failure to communicate".
You are evading the questions asked of you, again?
* Print your proof.
* Prove you are who you say you are.
* Answer the publics questions asked.
* Respond to the claim that the Borough has provided others with information when asked.
* Explain why you did not use the Boroughs website to download the Financial information you claim you cannot get.
* What are your qualifications that make you an authority on Government practices?
Why are you, Mr. Gennaro evading the questions and avoiding proving what you say?
Have you ever heard the term "narcistic"?
It would not surprise me to hear that you have been told this, professionally, more than once.
I took it upon myself and called the Borough and spoke to the Finance Director Russ. I asked how I could get a copy of the Budget, he told me to come in and ask at the front counter, he said I could review it there and if I wanted a printed copy or copies of certain pages I could request them, I would have to pay a copy charge for each page. I asked if the 2007 Audit is available and he said the Auditors are finalizing it and it should be available at the end of July.
Russ also told me that I could go to the Boroughs website and view or download the 2004, 2005, 2006 Audited Financial Reports and the 2008 Budget detail report which is also available.
For any of you doubters or those really interested, here is the web link:

I don't know about you but something here sure does not make sense. The Marino Report has claimed over and over again that "The Borough is hiding information", "They won't give me a copy of the Budget".
All I did was call and I was told what to do. There is one claim that may be correct, The Borough will not give you a copy. You must pay for it if you want to take it with you. If you download it yourself then it is free.
The Marino Report also claims the Borough does not have an Auditor, well the Finance Director told me the Auditor is finalizing the 2007 Audit. So the Borough in fact has an Auditor. Another false claim by The Marino Report.
At this time, everyone should be asking themselves what is the real purpose of Mr. Marino and his constant badgering and dissemination of false information and claims?
I took the time to check out these claims by The Marino Report and I am disgusted in the negativity and constant bad mouthing of our town and elected community leaders. The Marino Report is making this community look like a bunch of country hicks and to quote a former councilman “a most un-agreeable community”.
I no longer will patronize this blog and waste my time.

Marino: Your bluff has been called. Why will you not provide proof of your boasts about military service and engineering degree. Is it because there is no proof? You expect all of your questions to be answered, but you are answerable to none. Also, where is your wife? Where are your children? You have not spoken of them for the entire time you have lived in Kutztown. Hmmmm. More embarrassing stuff? Probably! You have any more skeletons in your closet? If so, just lie about. That`s always worked for you before. Frank C.
Annonymous signing FRANK C to your comments. . I received a phone call telling me about someone signing my name to Annonymous postings. Shows how brave some individuals are. Stand up and sign your own name. For the record, I have filed a complaint and requested IP traces and tracking on all postings signing my name. IMPERSONATION is an offense that that is prosecutable, even for web bloggers!.
The real - Frank Caruso
Narcistic:
Excessive admiration of oneself. A person that is only concerned with their wants and needs and is a me me me person. They will do whatever is necessary, lie, cheat, steal, kill, to achieve their goals for their own personal elevation and satisfaction. In other words, they do whatever is necessary to get what they want and will walk over or destroy anyone to achieve this purpose. They are without conscience.
