Deputy Attorney General
Norman W. Marden
Dear Sir,
I would like to up date you as to what is happening in the Borough that is related to actions of the Borough and Blonder Tongue Laboratories Inc. The Pennsylvania Office of Open Records has ruled that the Borough should release the Purchase Order to me as per my appeal (attached). The Borough has refused to deliver it to me stating they have 30 days to appeal it. I would like to remind you that I have an e-mail from Blonder Labs (attached) that there were no open Purchase Orders between their firm and the Borough of Kutztown.
Again under the Right to Know Law I have requested to see the tentative the start and completion dates of the contract between Blonder Labs and the Borough and was denied by Borough Secretary\Right to Know Officer Bonnie Bray (attached) stating the Contract does not exist.
Attached please find a letter I hand delivered to the Borough (dated 5-10-09) in which I state among other reasons that the work can not be started without a contract. My letter is clear and the Borough has not answered it.
I have also received a copy of a letter, dated May 11, 2009, sent by The Office of Open Records to Borough Secretary\Right to Know Officer Bonnie Bray (attached) requesting her to submit a sworn affidavit that the contract does not exist and address my statement that the contract does exist. The Borough has until May 26, to respond.
This letter and the attached materials confirm my accusations that the Borough is making a concerted and organized effort to conceal and cover up all aspects of the dealings with Blonder Tongue Laboratories that were illegal from the start which was early March of 2009.
This contract is for Hometown Utilicom WHICH IS A BUSINESS VENTURE AND NOT A UTILITY as the Borough would like everyone to believe. The finances of Hometown Utilicom are blended in with the finances of the General Fund and the Borough’s Electric Fund to further conceal HU finances from the public. The Borough is also illegally financing HU by transferring funds from other Borough departments to fund Hometown Utilicom. NOTE: There has never been a complete financial report on Hometown Utilicom since its inception in 2002.
To further confirm my charges the 2008 Audit has still not been published as per the Borough Code which states it should be published 90 days after the end of the fiscal year which was April 1, 2009. It also confirms the Borough is not very forthcoming with Borough business, records or finances.
I am readily available should you need any further information or documents. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gennaro A. Marino P.E.

To the few fools that support Marino. Read the convoluted mess he just published. It mixes dates, times, events. Marino is desperate and it showing this in his writing style. The DA is not going to entertain this, who would, if Marino attached all the documents he said he has according to this latest, then the DA is going to have a good laugh becuase the timing all speaks for itself.
You are blowing smoke Marino. and DESPERATE.
BTW take note, you are complaining about not receiving what you claim the state has awarded BUT THE TIME FRAME HAS NOT OCCURRED. Jumping the GUN say Marino.
You are JOKE and nothing more. Today while at the voting center people were laughing, shaking their heads, and the key words spoken - IDIOT FOOL -.
You created an image for yourself, enjoy it, I know the rest of us are.
Boy this one makes a lot of sense. Jerry is desperate. Desperate to waste enormous amounts of time and effort investigating the borough. After all he has so much to gain!
"The time frame has not occurred"
What the heck is that supposed to mean? Why is the Borough constantly appealing and waiting until the last minute to release documents (if they release them at all).
Besides awarding no-bid contracts, millions of dollars are being wasted in the sea of lies and deceit which constitutes a large part of borough activity.
To the Marino Tracker.
Hmmm - Marino has every right to cause expense, file for appeals, and the The Borough (which is the residents by the way) have to no rights. That definitely follows the Marino Mission Statement.
Here is one for you.
Narcissism is categorized as a personality disorder by the mental health profession. It is referred to as NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Few are ever diagnosed because few go to therapy. Narcissism is not high self-esteem, but a condition where the typical narcissist suffers from
Preoccupation with hiding real or perceived flaws
Overestimation of importance, achievements, talents and skills
Maladaptive attention seeking behavior
Inability to empathize with others
Excessive anger and shame in response to criticism often resulting in rage
The narcissist will often manipulate others, especially partners, to control them. Projection and blame are hallmarks of this manipulation. It is estimated that 85% of narcissists are males.
This is from Marino's own hand :
I am readily available should you need any further information or documents. Thank you.
NEED I SAY MORE!
The residents of Kutztown have every right to appeal same is Gerry Marino.
Thank you for the mental evaluations I will report them to my cardiologist. But don't you think it is about time for someone to evaluate my charges, accusations and statements against the Borough and respond to them?
Jerry,
If they continue to foxtrot and not produce any information, it is certainly going to show at the election booths. If they have nothing tohide, they need to come clean. So evidently, they have a lot to hide. I personally cannot wait until the next election for council members. (This was NOT written by Mr. Marino.) Mr. Mayor. Runn again next time. I think you will be surprised, as well as delighted by the number of votes you will get.
