Definition of Anonymous

According to Webster’s New World Dictionary the definition of anonymous is
1 with no known name, 2 given written etc. by one whose name is withheld or unknown
3 lacking individuality. And I agree and I add anonymous has no father or mother, never went to school, has no worldly experience, never served its country, never married or had children, never went to church, never won an award which means they are a nothing, a zero. I also take this to mean anyone who uses the name anonymous had to be a nothing to begin with. This is also confirmed by the anonymous comments on www.marinoreport.com which are ignorant, hateful, vicious and lack facts and figures to refute my accusations and claims. Not one anonymous comment has mentioned a name or provided a Borough document that disagrees with my facts and figures. The one individual who used his name has stated he will not comment any longer. He stopped making comments because he could not backup the false personal statements he made about me.

IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT ANONYMOUS DEFENDS THE ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS OF FALSIFYING THE BUDGET, PUBLISHING FRAUDULENT REPORTS AND WITHHOLDING BOROUGH FINANCES AND THE BOROUGH OFFICIALS DO NOT DEFEND THEMSELVES OR THEIR ACTIONS.

I would like to answer some of your comments but first I have to ask some questions. To Mary and John Anonymous I do not recall speaking to you on several occasions. Please tell me how many people I chastised and there names. I do patronize local businesses and I do it to meet the wonderful people of the Borough and tell them the news of the Borough which is also the purpose of my website. Please answer my accusations and charges with facts and figures from Borough records and documents.

As per my last electric bill I paid 21 cents per kilowatt and residents in the Borough’s surrounding areas pay 10 cents a kilowatt. Yes our bill is more than double. Mr. Kelly’s article is referring to areas that can shop for an electric Company. Kutztown residents, by law, can not shop for an electric company because we own the Electric Company and that is why the Borough can ridiculously overcharge us. Anonymous should also look at the Electric Fund Audit, if there is one, and tell the public what the Borough Council doing with this excess revenue.

My reputation is based on honesty and integrity and a handful of no names can’t change it. My website, my name and I are out there and I welcome all challenges, comments and criticisms with names or faces.

Please stop attacking my bio and reputation because I do not make Borough Policy and squander your hard earned money the Borough Officials do. Question the honesty, integrity, bio, education, agenda, motives and dedication of the borough Officials and ask them why they do not reply to my website and letters.

I also think some comments come from Borough Officials, I can’t tell which ones because the borough has many important officials. There are so many important paid officials that they can not all be seated on the dais at the council meetings. Some comments sound like they come from an old website of a borough employee.

Please answer my blogs with your names, and please some Borough facts and figures.

Mr. Marino you are far from creditable. And to set the record straight, people in PPL and Met-Ed territory cannot shop for their power choice.

This only proves farther ignorance on your part.

Seems you have turned the other chipmunk cheek. You claim that because the Borough is the only provider of service they can put the price wherever they so choose.

Hmmm, sounds like a positive argument for Hometown Utilicom. You have justified the reason for its existence. Thank You for acknowledging the brain child of Keith Hill and the Borough Council. Finally you have said something that makes sense.

Sorry, you failed again miserably, responses from the anit-marino reporter has provided facts, figures and places to go for answers. Why don't you acknowledge the fact the information you seek is on the Borough website? I know why, YOU DON'T WANT THE ANSWERS. You are now History and not getting the press or attention you so painfully wanted from the people in this community.

You are a has-been. Your bio is a fake. The information about has been published on another website and it is a sad, pathetic story on one individuals life.

Why do you fear the responses from anonymous and others? Why do you suspect a borough or borough council member? Is there so much fact and background that you fear their responses?

I don't think any anonymous user will stop writing. Reason is simple, your history has proven that being anonymous is safe, you are a dangerous individual that needs handled with caution.

No-Names is best in dealing with people like you.

drives you more insane than you already are. But is sure is fun!

Did you read the newspaper today and the PPL and Met ED 50-70% rate increase? No comments, Hmmm.

Oh Yes, I noticed that you posted this new tid bit of dirt really quick. I wonder if it is to combat the responses to the article.

In any case, I reposted the article for your reading enjoyment.

Here you go Jerry, just in case you missed it:

Mr Gennaro Marino: this is another support document against your claims the Borough is screwing its residents. READ THIS AND TAKE NOTES!.

For all you Marino supporters out there, this only shows Gennaro Marino sensationalizes information to cause trouble.

The Borough has for two years been warning residents about this. The difference between the Borough and others, NO THANKS NEEDED!, there will NOT BE a 50-70% rate increase in electric rates as there will be in other towns NOT HAVING ELECTRIC SERVICE. Knowing this was happening in the industry, the Council has been phasing in this increase to keep pace, now in a short period of time other communities will begin to receive an electric bill DOUBLE their previous bills. NOT KUTZTOWN!

READ THIS AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SYSTEM! This is also a message to Mayor Sandy Green, WAKE THE HELL UP! Main street facial uplift using the utility funds to fund Brendan Strasser, Kevin Green and your dream is a WASTE of time and money. YOU NEED TO START SUPPORTING ALL THE BOROUGH SERVICES INCLUDING HOMETOWN OR YOU WILL SOON BE OUT OF OFFICE AS WELL.. WAKE UP!

Kutztown residents, what do you think our rates would be for television and internet today if not for Hometown Utilicom? All you need to do is call someone having Service Electric television and internet from Maxatawny, or other surrounding communities and perform a PRICE CHECK!


Read the article below and appreciate the effort of the current and past Council.

Sorry this has taken so long to respond too Jerry. I wanted to verify some of the information you posted.

Come on, the Webster's dictionary, spending time to look up annonymous, you mean to tell us you were not aware of the meaning? This ranks up there the same as looking up names in the phone book.

Curiuos, why have you changed your position?

Your comment: IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT ANONYMOUS DEFENDS THE ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS OF FALSIFYING THE BUDGET, PUBLISHING FRAUDULENT REPORTS AND WITHHOLDING BOROUGH FINANCES AND THE BOROUGH OFFICIALS DO NOT DEFEND THEMSELVES OR THEIR ACTIONS.

Previously, you included employees, what's changed? did you get slapped on the wrist?

OK, lets move on to the important stuff, the real facts. your claim :

As per my last electric bill I paid 21 cents per kilowatt and residents in the Borough’s surrounding areas pay 10 cents a kilowatt. Yes our bill is more than double.

You don't have the entire story, recalculate your Kilowatt again. You are leaving off other, VERY IMPORTANT OTHER CHARGES PPL and Met-Ed include. In other words, You are attempting to mislead the public again with misinformation. Compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges.

Did you read the article regarding PPL and Met-ed's planned increase? You accept this as OK? I definitely would have preferred the boroughs phased in approach rather than doubling and trippling my bill.

Your comment:
Mr. Kelly’s article is referring to areas that can shop for an electric Company. Kutztown residents, by law, can not shop for an electric company because we own the Electric Company and that is why the Borough can ridiculously overcharge us.

Well, not quite the truth once again misleading. Please tell me Jerry how to shop for electric in Met-Ed and PPL territory? I would like to do this for myself. Please provide what I need to do and I will let my friends know as well.

Yes Kutztown has a utility service, yes Kutztown has an electric fund that has a cash reserve. Kutztown also has the lowest property tax in the entire area. If not for the electric utility, the offset to pay for police, highway, community development, parks, would be TAXES. Yes I am sure everyone would like to pay the property tax levied in Lehigh, Berks and Northampton Counties. For some reason, I don't think so.

Electric reserve, well, that is true. Can you imagine the problem that would have occurred last year when the storm came through Kutztown and THE ELECTRIC RESERVE FUND WAS NOT THERE TO BRING IN CONTRACTORS AND ASSISTANCE? Where would the money have come from to clean up the damage? replace the poles, bring in sub-contractors etc?.

No reserve funds? that would be an injustice to the community and I would call for their heads because they did have a contingency plan to react as quickly as they did.

Your comment:
Please stop attacking my bio and reputation because I do not make Borough Policy and squander your hard earned money the Borough Officials do.

I am very surprised you would mention the word "squander". While you were in office you forced the borough to "squander" over a quarter of a million dollars, that is a fact and on the Borough's books. How do you justify this waste to "your neighbors, friends and the good people of Kutztown"?.

Good catch ANNONYMOUS! Congratulations on this one, and I am also impressed that Mr. Marino would finally acknowledge Hometown Utilicom and the value the service has provided this community. I have to acknowledge Jerry for finally realizing not only the value of competition, but the value.

Lastly, sorry Jerry, it is important and I agree with ANNONYMOUS, you have proven time and time again that you are not someone that needs to know names. Anyway, names are not important if the facts are real. And information posted by me or anyone else can be verified simply by attending committee meetings, picking up a phone and calling an elected official, or borough employee.

Let’s put it on the table, there’s no secret, there are Borough employees that are opposed and work against the Borough Council and to the same extent, work against other employees. There are a few that should retire and move on instead of providing you incorrect information.

Unfortunately there is a “sucker” born every minute and some individuals take advantage of this and seek people like you out, Jerry Marino. These people are using you to be their voice, your reputation means nothing to them.

Mary and John, if I were you, I wouldn’t be to upset that Jerry does not wish to recognize you. It’s easier than trying to justify.
