Dear Sir,
I am the former Mayor of Kutztown and would like to say that your report that the Council voted $ 20,000 for was not very informative and lacked facts, figures and statistics. You were intentionally and deliberately lied to and misled by the Kutztown Borough Elected Officials, appointed Borough Employees, with the approval of the Borough Solicitors. Please go to my blog and read my comments about your report.
You could never address any of the following questions of Hometown Utilicom?
1) Number of Cable TV subscribers.
2) Number of Internet subscribers.
3) Number of Telephone subscribers.
4) Amount of revenue from subscribers.
5) Amount of revenue from funds within the Borough.
6) The number of HU employees, the HU payroll and the HU wages.
7) Is the salary of HU Director Caruso paid by HU.
8) How did you arrive at the number of subscribers of HU was about 1,000.
9) Audits, Profit or Loss statements or financial reports on HU.
10) Business Plan or Marketing Plan required as per the February Council Meeting.
11) The status of the Apex Contract which can not be fulfilled by HU.
12) The total debt or debt service of HU since its inception in 2002.
13) The amount of funds moved into HU by the Borough since its inception in 2002.
14) The audit of the Electric Fund that indicates the amount of funds moved into HU.
15) What the $1 million loan, you recommended, would be used for.
16) That the Borough does not employ a CPA or an accountant with a $21 million budget.
If you had addressed the above items your report would state that HU should be shut down immediately. You did not produce any statistics, projections, graphs, facts or figures that demonstrate that HU will about break even this year is heading for a profit next year as you stated because you were never given the financial reports and information of HU. There is no evidence that even hints that HU about broke even this year or can be profitable next year as you stated.
I have attached a few pages from my blog and if you go to my blog you will see all the questions, criticisms and accusations I forwarded to the Borough. I have never received a comment or reply to any of my letters and I was told by Council President Eidle that the Borough Solicitor advised them not to reply to my letters.
The Borough Council engaged you to produce a Business Plan or Marketing Plan for HU because HU is not capable of creating either of them. You recommend a citizens committee for guidance of HU because again HU, which you stated was well run, is not able to direct operations. As you must have noticed at the Council Meeting that the residents do not have a clue as to what the Borough is doing with our finances much less know about HU.
Sincerely,
Gennaro A. Marino P.E.

Marino:
"You didn't hear what you wanted to hear".
Too BAD!!
From Marino's letter he heard enough. Why doesn't anonymous challenge or comment on the facts stated in the letter to Mr. Dawson. The letter accuses Borough Officials of intentionally and deliberately lying and misleading him. Why doesn't anonymous ask the Borough Officials why they do not address the letter. The letter to Mr. Dawson raises many questions and some one should answer them.
Jerry - Whats the matter? everyone who you try to talk to starts to listen but after a few minutes of your ranting they understand what a poor old man with no clear understanding you are . They ten try to explain to you but as soon as its not your way you jump right to the thought that they are "in on it too". If just a small portion of what you say would be true all kutztown officals would be in jail somewhere! Stop the hate and put your time to good use !!
To annonymous:
"Why doesn't anonymous challenge or comment on the facts stated in the letter to Mr. Dawson."
Simple answer : There are NO facts in Marino's letter.
Since Marino did not attend the meeting, coward, he did not want answers. He feared television and couldn't justify any of his false claims.
Nancy: This is just too good, you miserable little she-he. You are drowning in your own shit. You are done. Your petty little fight against the borough has brought you nothing but misery and ridicule. You are one sad excuse for an American citizen. You don`t belong here, you don`t belong ANYWHERE! ooops, i misspoke ... go to hell. RFL
