Dear Elected Officials,
Under the Right to Know Law I have requested some Borough financial records and documents from the Telecom Department and under your supervision and direction Borough Solicitor Keith Mooney is offering many lame excuses not to let me have them. All the financial records of Telecom are public records and should be published periodically according to the Borough Code and I should not have to request them. Attached please find a Hometown Utilicom Annual Report dated August 1, 2003 by then Borough Manager Jaymes Vettraino which clearly states the public should be provided with updates on a timely basis and in a concise format. It also states it is appropriate to measure the progress of the project against presentations and projections that were previously made. He goes on to say FTTH is a government venture whereby its financial information should be reported to the citizens of the Borough.
The 5th paragraph states and I quote, “IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPOINTED AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, WITH CONSTANT INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY, TO GUIDE THE FUTURE OF THIS PROJECT TO PROVIDE THE UTMOST BENEFIT TO THE BOROUGH OF KUTZTOWN”.
There has never been a financial report on Telecom and this report in paragraph 3 states, “The financial statements presented in this report are unaudited and composed by the Borough staff”.
I think you all should start reading the Borough Reports because the last paragraph states, “As always, if you have any questions about this report or questions about any of the Borough operations, please do not hesitate to contact the Borough”. Sincerely, Jaymes Vettraino, Borough Manager.
It is a disgrace and a waste of tax payer’s money to direct and pay Borough Solicitor Mooney of the Barley Snyder Law Firm to help you violate a Borough Policy that was approved by you.
I would appreciate a response to this letter. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gennaro A. Marino P.E.

The borough never got your letter.
Copies of this letter were hand delivered by me to the Borough Hall and addressed individually to the Borough Council, Mayor Green,the Telecom Advisory Commission and several Borough employees.
All i can tell you is that your supposed letter never got beyond the front door.
Oops! We found it, but it is past dated. Could you please give us another one with a current date? Thank you. KB
