The Borough is governed by the Borough Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Borough Officials should acquaint themselves with it. The No Names have raised some very important points that make me believe that some of the No Names are Borough Officials because they ignore the Borough Code.
One No Name states that profits from the utilities can be used for services. It is illegal because the water and sewer funds shall be used within their departments. Because the Borough owns the electric department some funds may be used for Borough Services. Funds can only be used for the purpose that they were solicited. One more point is the Borough purchases electricity therefore the Borough rates will also be increased when the caps come off.
As far as me writing a check for $4,200, I don’t have to write a check the Borough writes a $4,200 check for me and for every resident of the Borough at the end of the year.
The Borough debt of $14 million was borrowed over past years and is not in the Budget. The debt service, which is the interest and principal payment of almost $1.2 million a year, is in the Budget.
As far as me making money through this Blog, please take note I did not take my salary as Mayor ($3,325) for one year. After one year I decided to take the salary when I saw the wild and uncontrolled Borough spending by Borough Manager\Treasurer Keith Hill and the Borough Council under the leadership of Council President Eric Ely.
As for The Borough Real Estate Tax the rate is 2.6 mils, until 2007 it was 1.2 mils. It more than doubled in 3 years. The Tax rate is noted in the Kutztonian Spring\ Summer 2009.
If someone is cutting grass and shoveling snow cheaper outside the Borough I would have them cut my grass and shovel my snow by proxy.
As far as my qualifications and education to handle the No Names and the finances of the Borough, I only have to cite my Grade School education which was Public School 14 in Corona, Queens, New York City.
The Borough continues wild spending, falsifying the Budget, publishing fraudulent reports, altering foremen reports, letting out work without legal bids or contracts, etc. and a handful of No Names blindly defend them. I have 2 questions, No Names why do you defend them when they do not defend themselves, and who are these No Names? The Powers that be at Borough Hall do not challenge my charges and accusations because they are all true.
I would like to remind everyone that this Blog is not about me, it is about honesty, integrity and transparency of our finances for our Borough residents.
I remain as always Jerry

Mr. Marino: It is my professional opinion that you are suffering from an extreme case of tintinnabulation of the belfry!
Doctor Daley is tintinnabulation physical or does it have anything to do with the truth, honesty and integrity? Please address my accusations and charges. Thanks again.
Why don't you No Names address my accusations and charges?
As always Jerry
Regardless what you think Mr., DR, Marino it is not possible or prudent for the Borough or any other entity to answer false claims. You conjure up your story and try to mislead the public with half truth’s. That is obviously why the Borough has no reason to answer your claims.
Publish the truth, honesty, integrity are more than words Marino, they are part of a creed that real Americans live by not leftist.
Only anti Americans, that's right people like you, must use deceit to make a point and question Government Elected Leadership. The fact is, my wife and neighbors enjoy reading your statements because we get our daily laugh from your idiocy and coupled with a glass of wine, makes our night.
You are an anti-American Marino, a leftist who's morals are compromised by greed and personal glorification.
You are dead wrong, this is about you because you choose to try and deceive the public. I am a Vietnam Vet, a real Vet and I believe in our system and support it. If I am part of electing the wrong people into office, then my mistake. The system is one I am proud to be part of as a true VETERAN. You are a bully acting out a fantasy of power. You condemn the strength America is built on, the right of the people who ELECT OFFICIALS TO OFFICE, and who are in office because THE AMERICAN WAY put them there. Stop the lies and bullshit! you denied your Salary AND IN THE SAME YEAR DEMANDED IT BACK after the big splash of not taking it! You are a fake.
The Marino Report is Anti-American and an attempt to deceive and FRAUD the Kutztown Public.
Still think the Borough has reason to answer what is false and misleading? Think again.
You are trying to down a Government and lucky for you, we TRUE AMERICANS allow you to speak out. Unfortunately you think by deceit you can wear your tophat and tails once again or get yourself hired by the Borough. THINK AGAIN, we are not drunk or high to make that mistake again.
From the Marino Fraud Report:
"One more point is the Borough purchases electricity therefore the Borough rates will also be increased when the caps come off.
As far as me writing a check for $4,200, I don’t have to write a check the Borough writes a $4,200 check for me and for every resident of the Borough at the end of the year"
Fraud #1 - rates will increase when the caps come off. The rate cap has nothing to do with Kutztown. Kutztown purchases from a reseller group and signed an agreement which controls the cost. There is obviously increases each year due to standard cost increases, but to state the rate cap has something to do with this is a fraudulent statement.
Fraud #2 - Is this a double talking Marino? Prior posts you claim the Borough residents pay $4200 prt home, now you say the Borough pays $4200 per home? What in the world are you trying to spew out?
YOU CAN'T EVEN SUPPORT YOUR OWN STATEMENTS, ONLY SHOWS HOW CONFUSED YOU REALLY ARE.
For all you naysayers out there who question Marino`s education background. I happen to know that Jerry is a board certified peep-hole borer.
What he does. It is what HE SAYS that counts. Sounds like he is bother you Dr. Daley or whoever you are.
The level of malfeasance in the borough which Jerry thankfully is reporting on is astonishing. A well orchestrated conspiracy to keep honest, educated, competent people out of borough posts has really made matters much worse.
Thus far the borough has been shielded by friendly DA's and judges, but that will not continue forever.
Keep up the good work Jerry!
Any person, educated and even uneducated can tell where all these negative posts are coming from. Boro employees and elected (for now anyway-soon to be booted out of office) so called officials. Your time has come and it will all come out in the wash. We have your number. You are all the talk of the town, not Mr. Marino!
