Kutztown Mayor Sandy Green
Kutztown Borough Council
Dear Elected Officials.
I did not see any of you in the Court of Common Pleas February 8, 2011 when I petitioned the Court to enforce the Office of Open Records Final Determination. But you sent Borough Solicitor Keith Mooney with your feeble and lame excuses which were the same feeble and lame as excuses he presented to the Office of Open Records which they rejected.
You are violating the Borough’s Right to Know Ordinance No. 16-2008 of which states under SECTION 3, Section 170-1D FINANCIAL RECORDS are described as;
1. Any account, voucher or contract dealing with a receipt or disbursement of funds by the Borough or the Borough’s acquisition, use or disposal of services, supplies, materials, equipment or property.
2. A financial audit report performed on behalf of the borough, however, this term does not include the work papers underlying the audit.
The above two paragraphs confirm that the Borough should fulfill my Right to Know Request.
I would also like to point out that the Borough Code states Service Electric, the Borough’s cableTV, internet and telephone provider, for the purposes of administering this ordinance shall;
A230-11 RECORD KEEPING, COMPANY OFFICE
A. Keep and render its books and records in a manner which will permit the drawing off of a detailed financial statement therefrom clearly disclosing the amount of rentals received by the company arriving at the determination of the gross receipts rentals as heretofore set forth.
Why don’t you follow Borough Code (above) that you legislated for Service Electric Cable. This also demonstrates you know the law and are knowingly and deliberately violating the Borough Code.
You have arrogantly decided to violate the Borough Code and a Borough Ordinance to keep the true financial status of the Telecommunications Department from the public.
There is no way that you will legally keep these financial records from the public.
Sincerely,
Gennaro A. Marino P.E.

WHAT ELSE DOES THE BORO HAVE TO BE REMINDED OF?
1. Any account, voucher or contract dealing with a receipt or disbursement of funds by the Borough or the Borough’s acquisition, use or disposal of services, supplies, materials, equipment or property.
2. A financial audit report performed on behalf of the borough, however, this term does not include the work papers underlying the audit.
THEY ARE ONLY BRINGING SUSPICION ON THEMSELVES.
the assholes from the boro council should be in jail. and they should be forced to watch Mr Smith Goes To Washington over and over until they gain some ethics
WOW! So many brave annonymous folks throwing around free trash talk before the verdict is in. Please do not forget about the 100`s of thousands of dollars Marino has cost this borough in time, legal expenses, increased insurance premiums etc, etc. Why don`t you all ask for a copy of that list? Be patient and wait for an impartial judges decision.
most folks in town dont think the judge is that impartial btw.
marino isnt at fault for money wasted.
thats like saying the victim of a rape is at fault because the municipality has to spend money taking the rapist to court.
To the very brave Mr. Anonymous. Look at the transcripts from the marino years council meetings. You are a snide little snake, a hitler follower so to speak.
L. Bailey, what? please elaborate.
btw, hitler (along with mussolini) was the most famoue progenitor of govt + corporate socialism which is what the boro is doing, supplying utilities and services and etc like some Big Brother, and not letting its captive customers see how its wasting their money. so get back to me when you learn a little bit about history and freedom.
you loser....
also mr/mrs bailey, hasnt the Pa Office Of Open Records determined that the boro should reveal its secret $$$ shenanigans?
in your myopic little world, do you realize how many people are walking around you in kutztown sharing the same suspicions as mr. marino? you have no idea. just like hosni mubarak, another corrupt king with no clothes. perhaps you heard of him. maybe you wished you were one of his henchman, interfering in the economics of the citizens.
l bailey, do you live in kutztown? have your electric bills gone up?
why is that? with out an honest accounting of the utilities side of the borough's enterprise how can any citizen be expected to pay the new increasing rates?
-concerned
mr bailey is silent
Mr. Bailey is hiding from you because you are a certifiable nut case!
thats a reply that will inspire confidence in the boro!
way to defend your position with childish ad hominems mr bailey.
