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.

IT LIVES!
If anyone wants to see how suspicious the council is, just go to their monthly meeting and see how quickly they vote through everything---no discussion, no disagreements, no questions---they say yes to everything, on every issue. How is that possible, when every discussion outside of exec session has to be on the record? There is some shady goings on here is town de la Kutz....thanks Jerry for keeping us up to date on the latest shanningans.
Monthly water and sewer bills coming. Keep track of them. Add the first three up and I can almost guarantee you they will be much, much more than your old quarterly bill. Vote every incumbent out of office at the next and upcoming elections. Time for "fresh air" once again in Kutztown. Pass this around the town!
At last someone gets it. The problem is that a lot of senior citizens and people with less income do not have computers and are not aware of the surprise they will get when they start getting these bills.
Houses where a single person or a senior couple will be shocked to see their new bills.
This council certainly will go down in history as the people who did not raise the standard of living for the residents but certainly raised the price to live here. Previous councils where always proud of keeping the cost lower but apparently the tide has changed.
Nothing proud about this crew. Downright disasterous, if you ask me! LAME DUCKS they will ALL be!
Mr. Mayor, get the word across with flyers or whatever. Can them!
We want YOU back!
The brain power that exist in the Kutztown community is mind boggling my cows have more sense. Once again some individual with a pea sized brain thinks people enjoy receiving a quarterly bill versus a monthly bill which is much easier to swallow. MORON! Not only is this an advantage to us the customer in such ways as controlling our usage over three months versus one but the advantage of knowing there is not a leak of some sort sooner rather than later is a major plus. Take it from someone that had a leak and did not know until my bill came. That leak worked for two months before I noticed what was happening. Today I ask the Borough to give me a printout of my daily water use and boom there it is. You can’t tell me what is changing is not working. I don't see you mentioning the reduced cost of a single bill rather than two bills? Seems to me that generating a single bill in one envelope requiring one check makes sense. Should have happened along time ago.
Fools, stop the nonsense and find something creditable to bitch about. At least create something.
Absolutely, this town needs the former nut back in office, please run again, lets see if you can get 50 drunks to vote this time, at least that would double the last failed effort.
A special thanks to Hometown Utility for bringing The Military channel and Planet Green to our tv. All of the Discovery channels are wonderful.
