Dear Residents of Kutztown,
Some of the latest schemes and illegal activities by the six corrupt Elected
Officials, namely Mayor Green, Council President Eidle, Vice President Seyler, Councilmen Snyder, Schlegel, Gangewere and Councilwoman Bray are:

1) Shut off the electricity momentarily to the Borough Customers which increases the Borough Electricity rates. It was done at least 3 times in the past week. The rate is increased every time the power is shut off and turned back on. They have been doing it for years.
2) The Borough gave one of their favorite Business Alliance members LANtek $20,000 for a Security System for the Borough water tower because someone went up on the tower about 4 years ago. How is that for response time? The alarm is sounded on Information Technology Director Frank Caruso’s cell phone. HU will probably charge the Borough for its use. I did not notice any Public Bids For the contract.
3) The 6 elected officials took no corrective measures after the Borough was fined $1,500 for supplying contaminated water and directed all questions about this serious matter to Water Superintendent Walter Hess. Walter Hess is a competent, qualified and highly trained technician but is not responsible for the operation of the water treatment plant. It is the responsibility of the elected officials and the Borough Engineers Spotts, Stevens & McCoy to operate the Plant.
4) I found an application in my mailbox to be filed with the Borough for me to be notified in a water emergency. It was addressed to Current Resident or Occupant. This is serious business. It should be addressed to all Water and Electric customers living in the Borough. The Borough also has the names of all tenants at the Code Enforcement Office.
5) The Minutes of the May ’09 Council Meeting have still not been posted on the Borough website.
6) They gave out construction work for about $119,000 without a contract and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office said there was wiggle room for a Judge to toss it out.

The six statements noted above demonstrate that the seven Elected Officials named above do not have a clue as to what they are responsible for or to what they are doing. They are not seen around the Borough and if they are seen they never state what they are doing at the Council Meetings. There are no interested parties at the Meetings because there are no discussions or explanations as to what the Council is voting on. It is more than 2 months since the May Council Meeting and the Minutes of the Meeting are still not on the Borough website.
The Mayor and the Borough Council should resign if they can not fulfill their duties as Elected Officials.
