Mayor Sandra Green
Borough Council
Kutztown Borough Hall
Dear Elected Officials,
The Borough can not respond to any of my charges or accusations because they are all true so you made an announcement on the Borough Meeting Agenda. In a desperate attempt to belittle me the announcement read, “The Borough has received the final determination from the Pa. Office of Open Records denying the appeal of Gennaro Marino with regard to a Right-To-Know request”. As usual the Borough never states the whole truth. The truth is I requested a copy of the Borough contract with Blonder Tongue Laboratories and the Borough Right to Know Officer, Borough Secretary Bonnie Bray told me there is no contract and I appealed to the OOR and the Borough was told to give me a copy of the contract. The Borough gave me a purchase order from Blonder with a letter from ITD Caruso which Right to Know Officer Bonnie Bray stated would function as a contract. This P.O. and letter can not function as a contract and I stated to the OOR that I would not accept this as a contract. The OOR denied my request and stated the Borough gave me what they determined was their record of a contract. But the OOR also stated that it is not in their authority to determine if the documents constitute a contract. I wrote a letter to the OOR and thanked them for forcing you to comply with the Right to Know Law and I copied you with the letter.

It’s ironic that the denial of my appeal proves that there is no contract between the Borough and Blonder to up date the head end. This is stated in my post of June 16, 2009.

Borough Secretary Bonnie Bray resigned as the Borough Right to Know Officer over this incident. Secretary Bray lied when she stated there was no contract then came up with the P.O. and the letter from Caruso and stated they would function as a contract. Secretary Bray resigned as Right to Know officer because she also lied when she stated the purchase order with Blonder did not exist when it did.

It is very hard for you 7 elected officials to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

This Blonder work on the head end for $119,511.87 was done without a contract. First of all a contract has to be signed by 2 parties which it is not and it does not comply with the Commonwealth’s Purchasing Handbook guidelines. There is a lot more to this incident.

You are all in deep trouble and this incident is not going away. You will have to rectify this illegal action.
Sincerely,


Gennaro A. Marino P.E.

Jerry: I am begging you. Please take a Morning Call and Reading Eagle reporter to the very next council meeting and demand to be heard. They can not refuse you. This way you will once and for all get those schnooks on the run or resigning en masse. Tho good thing that will come out of such a move is that it will be shown on the boroughs own hometown utilicom broadcast. How sweet is that? Your thoughts please. Thank you, a friend.

Go for it said...

Jerry,
Do it! Once and for all, this is a good plan.

P.S. Don't forget the Patriot.
Show they you have the "canoli's to do it.

To all the Marino fanatics. He WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE appear at council meeting. I am positive of this. He can only hide behind his blog. When will you people ever learn? He will come up with a very lame or no excuse at all. Wait and see!

He will show up said...

Mr. Mayor,
Will you PLEASE show up and shut everyone up once and FOR ALL?
Thank you!

P.S. Don't forget to invite ALL the local media.

He is is in withdrawal and can't cope with his loss.

Amazing all the "splash" he created and here we are. He proved nothing, changed nothing, is nothing.
