5/1/14 Enabled the picassa  links below to view pictures, documents, reports, etc.  

 4/28/14 "Petition Pit" will be @ Belfast City Park entrance, weather and soul permitting. Resident support is needed - please stop, sign and save residents rights. Added #5 Special City Council meeting and public hearing presentation and discussion for above spending scheduled within 2 weeks of receipt of petition. 250 signatures are needed. Thank you.

(revised this post 4/27/14- also the "Petition Pit" was very windy and nasty yesterday. It was not productive but I tried. Will canvass for signatures when weather warms and winds subside)


Hi Neighbors,

Please drive by and sign at the "Petition Pit' Rte 1 South (by dog park and airport) Belfast, Maine. Belfast City Council and Manager must provide accounting for their spending since 2012. City Manager, Joe Slocum is denying request to waive fee's for this accounting to educate the public on train wreck spending of property tax dollars. Instead, Slocum is demanding a "down payment" with no ceiling,. Status quo - the past years of torture with holding/manipulating the basic public documents (final approved site plans (which include zoning conditions for snow removal).  development history of my 1966 neighborhood and home, and infrastructure sewer/drainage maps and ordinance). 

Slocum states he has provided some of the documents.  Indicating that I am too stupid to read them . Belfast City Council refuses to validate documents received, and takes the 5th. Belfast City Attorney Bill Kelly sends me intimidating letter after letter, trying to break me mentally and financially, telling me I must hire an attorney to speak for me. State, Realtor, City Manager, Joe Slocum, Planning and Zoning, Planning Board, City Council and Mayor Ash sing the same tune and try to silence and break me. Trying to paint me as unstable, unreasonable and unworthy as they slaughter Seaview Terrace with water from development to date. WATER DOES NOT HIDE OR LIE. They flood private properties rather than build/maintain infrastructure for "unworthy" residents and spend on their worthy choices and wants.  In fact, early on in 2011, Jay Davis, Belfast "worthy" resident, buddy of City Council Mike Hurley (Belfast Slum Lord), prior journalist, author, Board member of the Restorative Justice Program!!! approached me when I was protesting outside the BH&G Masiello Reality Group (former Town & Country) in the center of town. He told me that this is not how things were done around here. He asked me if I contacted Mike Hurley. I told him I did and that Hurley won't touch it. Jay smiled, wished me well and walked away. I knew there and then, my new beginnings of healing, safety and peace with my children were being destroyed by a whole network of white collar bullies. I knew this type well. They were robbing the last I had, home and soul. I was destined for hell and outcast. 

Some 40 and counting public speakings at City Council meetings, public protest at event after event, posting, emailing, corrupt State investigations, covert raids to City Hall to score a few precious public documents,  door after door slamming, few residents willing to publicly support, the "worthy" residents and businesses stroke City Hall and scorn me, City employees tainted against me... truly a disgrace to democracy and our flag. Their pledge sickens me, I go stand in the hall. 

 I am free to speak, to stand, to do what I can. I do, so help me Me. That is my vow.

Dirty cowards that use the vulnerable as manure to fertilize their nasty, stinking smirking ego's.

I posted below in local paper- Village Soup, Republican Journal:

 It was upsetting to see the Belfast Chief of Police, Mike McFadden, at the budget meeting night, 4/24/14, under scrutiny for every dollar spent to protect us. Hearing him state how he is given 10k to manage his department, needs a bit more, as Councilor Mary Mortier extracts $100 from his budget in miscalculations.
Yet, City Council refuses to request and provide public accounting for of their spending in studies, consultations, City legal fees, lawsuits, project spending, etc. Because of this train wreck spending they deny "Basic municipal services that are so essential there is not debate in most communities over whether they are needed. they include fire, POLICE and rescue services, trash disposal, ROAD UPKEEP AND UPGRADES, clean water and air, and enforcement of health and safety codes. You should be informed about your property taxes and be active during the decision making process in your community when deciding how you money is spent. These services and other popular local gov't services, such as libraries and recreation are financed mostly with the property taxes that remain after the bills are paid to the school systems and the counties which totaled more than $1.2 billion" Per the Maine Municipal Association.
City Manager, Joe Slocum has emphasized the small amount left, and the grueling cuts to departments essential to basic services as hands fly in approvals for wants, mistakes, and more misspending. My request for the spread sheet on their spending is finding it's way down the same path of manipulated denial- through unavailability and unlimited fees for public documents that will never be true if not validated by a 3rd neutral party. My council, Mary Mortier refuses to assist. A public petition requesting this spread sheet accounting is necessary. 
Please sign at the "Petition Pit" at Rte. 1 South (Dog Park behind) and sign. I'll put up a sign with my blue, 4 door 2002 Ford Explorer. Perhaps others can do the same with their friends, groups events, etc. Advise if my request needs adjusting, I am not a professional, nor a college graduate. I'm a single, low income, Mom, thrown into the fire of corruption and trying to make City Hall accountable and provide basic services to residents. Email me for support and/or help. laurieallen55@msn.com. I will deliver petitions to City Council. This needs immediate action- the budget is underway. Thank you.
Please provide the following years spread sheet cost accounting, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 to current:
1. Identify each lawsuit to the City of Belfast, include verdict, settlement and all fees.
2. Identify each and all in-house counsel fees.
3. Identify each and all costs for grants, including application, if awarded, City funds matching/contributed, including pending and final cost for each project clearly identifying total grant cost and monies received vs. total City funds spent and those pending or underway to date.
4. Identify each and all public money spent/allocated for consultations/studies for all projects scrapped and approved (examples-harbor walk, rail trail, parking, lighting, capital projects, include RSU20 City spending in withdraw/consolidation) start to finish, underway and pending.

5. added on 4/26/14- Present and discuss above at an announced public hearing, televised Special City Council meeting in Belfast City Hall chambers. Scheduled within 2 weeks of receipt of petition.


4/24/14 Gave my ward Council Mary Mortier and reality agent (network corruption web) final request for public spending spread sheet. She tosses me back to Joe Sloscum, City Manager. Time to hit the pavement to get a petition and hold them accountable for misspending. Sure wish I had Elizabeth Warren- D Senate, Mass. as my Council. Belfast would be shining true to the residents who volunteer endlessly and pay for the corruption of City Hall. This accounting will surely blow our follicles out.

Below this post is 1939 to present- there is a google link that takes you straight to pictures proving the City Manager, Joe Slocum is slaughtering with water. In this latest meeting he is grasping at straws but the pictures show when it was a farm in 1939 do not show a stream. The map he is speaking of in this last meeting is on the link as well. The farm is gone, and a ditch was dug for the run off from the new Rte 1. New Note 4/9 for engineer input- At the end of the 4/1/14 City Council Meeting (link below) Evil City Planner, Designer of Drowning and Denial, Wayne Marshall comes up to the podium to state that he has quad maps from 1903 that show the stream and then he shoots me the evil eye. That man does not have empathy, he is driven and ill.  I googled quad maps and got one from 1917- to the right you can see the cluster of streets which is in town. Seaview Terrace is at south of the cluster. No stream. Here is the link, then click on the criss crossing cluster to zoom in. Seaview Terrace would be to the right? of the 25' marking. At later topo gives the hospital (across the street (east) from Seaview Terrace

Feature Type:Hospital
Latitude:N44.41247° (NAD83 datum)
Longitude:W68.99412°
Elevation:85 ft MSL
County:Waldo County, Maine

Say it was a stream for arguments sake- it was moved when the houses went up. Therefore not a "natural outlet" as the local ordinance references. Let's go one step further and imagine it is a natural stream. On the link is my map that I tracked following the water (Slocum of course, didn't have any maps for drainage but would charge me hundreds, maybe thousands to try and find some). From 2 miles away they are force channeling it, culverting under roads and even Rte 1, all over- 14 sites, 2 miles of highway runoff on both sides, forcing it to the flood zone A, flood plain of Seavew Terrace on all 3 sides. No rights of ways, no easements. no conscience, slaughter us with water and destroy us. Most disgusting is that Seaview Terrace IS NOT a natural outlet, making them white collar murderers because we can go under in moments, Slocum refuses to even put us in a Mitigation Plan with FEMA and Waldo County EMA. He is angry, lies, bullies, and is not competent. Ditto for City Planner, Wayne Marshall and Code Enforcement Officer Tod Rosenburg and City Attorney Bill Kelly.

4/24/14 Gave my ward Council Mary Mortier and reality agent (network corruption web) final request for public spending spread sheet. She tosses me back to Joe Sloscum, City Manager. Time to hit the pavement to get a petition and hold them accountable for misspending. Sure wish I had Elizabeth Warren- D Senate, Mass. as my Council. Belfast would be shining true to the residents who volunteer endlessly and pay for the corruption of City Hall. This accounting will surely blow our follicles out.

4/16/14 City Council Meeting 4/15/14
http://belfastme.swagit.com/play/04152014-1176/#2

Click 6 open to public ff 7:50-12:06 (at 9:32, my word of the day BALDERDASH)

True to form, City Council and City Manager refuse to save Seaview Terrace from their corrupt ego's  I prove AGAIN that the City is force flooding via the BELFAST CONSULTING ENGINEER NEIL FINLAYSON reporting in 1987 that this is a drainage ditch. I show the picture of this ditch, in 6/2010 that was 2 ft wide and 2 ft deep. After spring melt in 2011- white water rapids tore through for days and days, ripping away over 600 ft of my property. Right up to my newly installed 6k fence. Just a bit more and away it would have went.
 
Click 7 communications or let it go right into it from Open to the Public. Listen to it all if you can bear it. 
City Manager, Joe Slocum committed to Seaview Terrace road work in the last meeting but wants to take the cheapest way out. Destroy more of our property with digging drainage ditches in our front yards that will soon look like my backyard ravine. 

They refused to plan and prepare by putting us in the TIF (Tax Increment Finance)and Mitigation Plan. They refuse to provide the 4 year spread sheet for spending on legal fees, grants, matching funds, capital projects, recreation, consultations/studies. I request this accounting again direct to my Council, Mary Mortier, ASAP before they start hacking away at the blue, pink and yellow collars, resident infrastructure and schools in this budget.

Councilor Hurley told me in the last meeting that I need to stay and wait for the communications portion where they will address the open to the public comments. They have taken the 5th in all meetings by orders of the City Attorney because each time they open their mouths they hang themselves. Sometimes they disobey the mighty one, unable to curtail their ego's.

Communications spotlights their true incompetence and dribble. It is painful to watch, and a true test of keeping my head out of the wall when I am in the same room as them. This meeting I award myself the "Hole-less Wall Award". 

FF to5:50/communications City Manager, Joe Slocum goes back to hiding behind the City Attorney (clearly he reads this blog since he had that 12/27/2011 letter in hand. Takes him 19 hours to find zero public documents for me but they are overflowing with their maps and documents for cover ups. I endure the dribble of his problems to get mud cleaned up around some poles, the public bathrooms being unlocked and locked, all during FLOOD TIME and mud season, concern only for City property.

Councilor Eric Sanders is status quo- rhetoric mediation much ado about nothing. That's what his "reality" is. I think he even records himself on his phone when he speaks. 




FF to 8:44 Incredibly, Councilor Nancy Hamilton, at communications, had this to say (sadly and surely she prepared this balderdash) Happy Tax Day. Because we are living here and seeing where our money goes, I think we are a little more accountable than the Feds. Hope to balance the needs of the taxpayers with the needs of the town.



FF 9:25 Hurley thanks me for mentioning the 1987 Belfast Consulting Engineers name, Neil Finlayson??? Giving us a personal rundown of how HURLEY knows Neil. WT* does this have to do with an engineer confirming Belfast City Hall corruption and the slaughter of Seaview Terrace???

An embarrassing lot to watch.
  
4/15/14 Their cover up is beyond stupid and on our taxdollars, 4 years and counting. In 1987, the original owner, Dr. Caswell of my house(1967) and neighbors had been pleading for an investigation for flooding of yards and basements. The City of Belfast sent the City Engineer- Neil Finlayson (see full letter on www.belfastliars.blogspot.com)  SEE #3- "NOTHING MORE THAN A DRAINAGE DITCH" The liars blog are some early emails- 2011/12 from City Hall and my Councilor, Marina DeLune. I didn't post them before because I was trying to protect her. Her "constituents" set her up, she is just clueless and weak. Councilor Roger Lee was the one who convinced her to run, he is the treasurer at her church, she believes in him. Shameful.  As you read her emails, you will see they are feeding her false information to send me into an abyss of dismiss and break down. Getting so personal, trying to elicit sympathy from me when the City Manager was 5 months into his corruption, and recent tragic deaths in his family. Totally unethical and unprofessional. I was so angry that she did that to me. Councilor Hurley takes a public rant against me, Slocum and Marshall receive more pity. Pathetic. I feel sorry for them all. And the City Attorney, Bill Kelly speaking for them all and running out of the hall when I question him. The most pathetic of all. And they keep stroking each other as they go under from the misspending  of tax dollars, drowning the residents without a thought. Over and over and over again.
1987 Belfast City Engineer, Neil Finlayson
3.  Dr. Caswell has mentioned that after heavy rains the brook can flood and create problems for all owners whose lots back up to it. He suggests that the City clean it out to reduce this tendency.  I have a feeling that this brook is NOTHING MORE THAN A DRAINAGE DITCH PUT IN BY THE DEVELOPER OF THE TRACT. 

You could suggest to Dr. Caswell that his brook is private  property  and that if he, and other owners, feel strongly about the  problem, that the hire a contractor to clean out the brook to their specifications.


The City Attorney, Bill Kelly (1/4/12 Meeting)trying to use this with held public document, specific to my property, in his defense. Forced to admit that there is not a natural outlet when I uncovered the with held and buried 1967 development plans. Showing a ditch that was dug in the 60's (for run off from the 1963 construction of the new Rte 1) had to be pushed back. That is when the began the destruction and corruption to this area. Rather than build sewers and take it to City maintained property, the unleash it to private property and continue adding to us until present, over 15 developed large sites, thousands of acres, more than half paved, forcing it all to little Seaview Terrace, private property, flood zone, flood plain, no ROW, no easements...slaughter the 12 families with water and destruction. And deny it.

In the 4/1 meeting (link below) City Manager Joe Slocum continues to hang himself. The map he refers to, is in this link below. It is the ditch that was dug after the farm (apple orchard) was sold off. Land cleared and ditch dug for runoff from the new Rte 1. Surely, that was not ethcial or probably legal and the beginning of the slaughter by officials. Joe Slocum refuses to be reasonable, he and Wayne Marshall continue with their defense for slaughtering residents. Slocum cinches his neck right here" Whether that stream was moved or not makes no difference to us at all. There is no indication the City ever moved it. So, if it was moved from where her living room is today, to her backyard where it is today, it is still a natural stream." WWWHHAAAT???  Buffoon dribbling, costing us a fortune. City Planner, Wayne Marshall, Buffoon II, lops up to the podium with his new dribble for a 1907-1908 quad map showing A stream. Just stop it already, so sad. Where ever this stream was, it was not in the Seaview Terrace boundaries. But, hey- according to Joe- he can make a ditch anywhere and declare that a stream and drown those residents and treat them like dirt with full support of City Council, City Hall,  BPD, City Attorney, DEP, Attorney General,  the whole State backing up the corruption. Their reasoning for slaughtering residents is so twisted. manufacturing a stream to drown us- where they actually are bound to divert water and protect residents in a flood plain, flood zone. Unbelievable evil and calculated planning to abuse the innocent and struggling.

The local ordinance that Belfast City Hall refused to provide to me, the ordinance damning them day in, day out, as they consciously and intently slaughter Seaview Terrace, violating many more laws and ordinances. One inch of water is equal to 1 foot of water flying through my yard. Up to three inches- after that- I've yet to find out. Illegal stock piling of snow at all these sites all winter, 1000 acres or so, spring melt, heavy rain, buh bye Seaview Terrace. Survivors will file class action law suit. Buh bye Belfast. City Manager and City Planner will scurry away, pockets full, to the next town to drown.

Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage may be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as storm sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the city.Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the city, to a storm sewer or natural outlet, if in accordance with regulations of the state department of environmental protection.


(Ord. No. 45-1999, § 600.2, 2-1-2000)


Everyone is involved from the real estate agents up to the Attorney General's office including Govenah LeRage. So much material, so many documented meetings, emails, unbelievable audacity and stupidity.
I've been at this for 4 years- much of it documented in several blogs. They overwhelm to intimidate- so there is lots of rhetoric, but the maps and pictures are the proof. DEP Commissioner Aho corruptly closed the investigation that took me 2 years to get. The Real Estate Commission corruptly dismissed my complaint against the Realtor- Earl Black who owns half the agencies in Maine. They refuse to give me MLS listings for properties on my street that did disclose the stream.

Belfast City Hall, City Attorney, and DEP all with hold and manipulate public documents. Trying to wear me down, intimidate me, alienate me, use police power, try to stop me from speaking at meetings, media blocking my posts and now totally censoring 2 years of postings in the local paper. I will say, I was shocked to read posts in the Bangor Daily News and Republican Journal, my posts are tame compared to many. And all of my posts are relevant to local, state and school corruptions.


4/5/14 From my Facebook- 
I was afraid to post this, which means post it. Both are City employees taking personal liberties to dissuade me. Look at this meeting- never disorderly- I need to stay and speak. Some 35 meetings and nary a mistake. Here's what happened when I left @ 9 pm ( the police officer was even more persistent, baiting me as I am thinking about it now). The police force knows the full history- they been ordered to be in every meeting since City Hall tried and tried but couldn't stop me from speaking. The camera guy, I've know since 1975? and his family in Bayside. Not friends then but definitely friendly. Small village, like Peyton Place. Damn. Hate that. I told him awhile ago to stop crossing lines. Keep it professional. See below for the actual meeting and where an awful neighbor takes a shot at me too. 

City Council and City Manager stoop even lower, if you can believe that. Taking personal shots at me trying to taint the public. t I proved myself along time ago, and have been waiting for them to open their ego mouths- they finally did. Truth always over rules- I got this one. No doubt, the City Attorney was having a cow when he saw them breaking his order's to keep silent. Then they had the officer follow me out the meeting to have a chat. Telling me I was getting close to disorderly conduct, I'm careful- I know they want to take me out- the cop keeps at it though, then tells me I need to take a different approach, in his 35 years on the force... on and on. He was courteous, but his message was clear. I stated the facts for him and his last attempt was to pull my kids into it- I told him as horrible as all this is, my kids are watching their mother take it, and keep pushing back with facts and honesty. It's a life lesson, Mom always will always be accountable and hold others accountable. The officer had me out there for about a half hour and the guy that tapes the meetings- he came out and interrupted me as I was talking and started asking why none of my neighbors care. He was being so rude- I know him too. I began explaining and he walked away as I was talking. Jerk. But I know City Hall put them both after me. I was fine, they can't break me, the hump is behind me. Full force ahead- protest- they must chitting bricks. I'm charming and funny when I'm out talking to people. It's a gift that I really love. Yak Yak Yak, laugh, laugh, laugh- make fun of City Hall- that's golden. 

4/1/14 Belfast City Council Meeting  http://belfastme.swagit.com/play/04012014-1068/#2 
 Click #6 open to the public ff to 5:56. I had sent an email to Council, Mayor and City Manager and am reading from that. Per the State of Maine Municipal Association property taxes go first to education and basic municipal services (fire, police, rescue services, trash disposal, road upkeep and upgrades, clean air, and enforcement of health and safety codes. After those are satisfied, than to libraries, recreation, etc. 

Click #7 communications ff to 2:55 Slocum, Hurley and David Smith take liberty to discredit me, they could have told me to stay, Joe didn't speak at all when I asked him for the documents. They know I leave. David Smith is my neighbor (does not own stream property) who harassed me the first month I moved in, 7/2010, He is a dog hater and was set to silence mine. Another neighbor 1/4 of mile away from him (3 lots up) owned a small dog- Yorkie? and David came to her house over and over. He could hear her dog bark through out the day. He would not let up, kept coming to her house and calling (just like me) The woman was forced to put a shock collar on her little dog to stop the harrassment. She said her dog was, never the same, she has never forgiven herself, 


The Belfast Chief of Police, told me of a judge in Augusta, Me. ordered a dogs voice box removed due to a complaining neighbor. No doubt, that is where David was going with this. I beat him to the Chief, had the Chief come to my house to see all I did with a 5 ft fence and 100% screening, told him to put camera's on me to prove David was fabricating. David went to the Chief a week later, the Chief told him that I had gone above and beyond. David became irate, Chief came back to my house, and explained an order of protection to me. Lovely, if the Chief is telling me, I better do it. So I did. Welcome to Seaview Perish, I mean Terrace, AKA Hotel Hell on the outside- stay in, stay away, more thugs coming...:(

Click #11 for the 2nd time I come back for open to the public and fly with facts and proof.
it will go right into 12 with Hurley, Slocum and Marshall repairing their web.

4/3/14 See tab 4/3/14 Slocum refuses Mitigation Planning cc'g Governor, DEP Commissioner Aho

4/2/14 PROGRESS- Seaview Terrace will be paved with drainage within months. See tab above "4/1/14 Meeting Progress" and read the letter and then watch the meeting- WOW.

NEW RULE- MR. BILL (MAHER) WWW.MRBILLOHNOO.BLOGSPOT.COM Invite to Belfast.

New blog www.belfastliars.blogspot.com to touch on just few of many lying emails from City Manager, Joe Slocum. He confidently lies immediately, mirror to City Planner Wayne Marshall because they have removed the public documents that would expose their lies and deception. They have manufactured a "natural stream" defense to avoid the liability of drowning and destroying Seaview Terrace private property. Endangering our lives daily with flash flooding to this flood plain, flood zone they that are bound to divert run off from. For over 35 years, they continually force runoff from developments outside of Seaview Terrace directly into Seaview Terrace on all three sides. Using the ordinance to drain to a "natural outlet" which I have proved is not a natural outlet, not a natural stream, all incoming water is illegal. I uncovered that with held plans 7 months in and Slocum's emails prior forever prove he is a liar and calculating to diminish me and Seaview Terrace without a second thought. Council all on board and assist in the deception. Unethical and unbelievable Belfast City Manager, City Council, City Attorney and Attorney Generals office for Freedom of Information emails. Now that I have proved the corruption, the flooding as I said 4 years ago to Seaview Terrace is illegal and the contributing sites also in violation- reading the original path of emails is gross and sick. 

Below is the 4th blog.  For more see the original blog (which got overwhelming, I streamlined the most important to 2 and 3 is specific to corruption letters and emails from City Manager, Planner, Attorney, DEP Commish Aho) www.belfastbullies.blogspot.com  , www.belfastbullies2.blogspot.com (streamlined version of original) www.belfastbullies3.blogspot.com (Key Official samples of corruption- DEP Commish Aho closing corrupt outfall and compliance violations of Captain Albert Steven School est. 2007, that took me 2 years of pounding to get opened, unethical letters of intimidation from Belfast City Attorney Bill Kelly, cover-up smokescreen garbage from Belfast City Planner Wayne Marshall and Belfast City Manager Joe Slocum (volumes more not posted as well as Belfast City Council and Belfast Planning Board- front line protectors of resident abusers.) In no way do is my reference of Nazi mentality meant to disrespect the horror of slaughter as the world watched. It is a  comparison to similar tactics to the intended water slaughter to the 12 families on Seaview Terrace. Flooding kills, forced flooding of this magnitude breaking the law and burning the messenger is murder. We are a flood zone, flood plain, private property, no ROW's, no easements, all incoming forced slaughter is illegal and proven. We are not a natural outlet- DEP and Belfast City Hall decided to make us their sewer, deny it and force drown. Then, they will come in and take Seaview Terrace through inverse condemnation. No compensation- in their twisted minds- simple occupation. Next.

(Ord. No. 45-1999, § 600.2, 2-1-2000)

Buyer Beware- Not- Buyer Run, Run, Run. All my blogs are overwhelming with Belfast City Hall corruption, their motto and the State's - "We plead the 5th, sue us" . Confident to devastate your finances, soul and all basic rights. I was sold undisclosed hell 6/2010 and to date I continue to present the corruption. Maine is 4th in corruption, home rule, municipalities govern themselves with the support and approvals of the State, democracy a disgrace. This is the rule, not the exception.

In Belfast, the corruption in the slaughter of my neighborhood of Seaview Terrace is documented since 1987, but began approx. 1965? This was a farm, aerial views show the corruption beginning with the plans for the construction of the new Rte 1 (bypassing the old Rte 1 through town, also known as Northport Ave.)  The 1939 picture, where 40 is written is now Seaview Terrace. Then 1966? and the freshly dug ditch visible. The sub division of Seaview Terrace not proposed yet. It looks like ditch was dug to carry the runoff from the new Rte 1 which will run parallel to Seaview Terrace. The proposal comes in, and they have to move that ditch, to allow for more lots. My side of the street. They push the ditch back 70 ft, ripping up the tree line, and never stabilizing the banks. Not concerned for erosion from 2? miles of highway runoff through private property. They concoct a plan with DOT/DEP and City Hall to call this a natural stream (to coincide with the local ordinance to drain to a natural outlet), make it wetlands for DEP control, lock up the files and throw away the key. That was the start- till present day they are force channeling runoff, melt off, from businesses and developments from miles outside of Seaview Terrace, to the private property, flood zone, flood plain of Seaview Terrace. Creating a disaster zone and full force abuse to stop the accountability. State to local, all implicated and covering- DEP, DOT, City Hall, businesses and residents.

Some residents receive deals, some have had to do illegal drainage work, others sell and do not disclose the hell. Turnover high, all in-town, and real estate agents are the nasty link. Rather than unite and demand Belfast City Hall to provide basic infrastructure to sell these properties honestly, they choose to stick it to the buyer, knowing the powers are in place to protect them and crush the buyer. I did it all by the book, told them I did not want any water issues, have in writing where I refused properties that disclosed a stream, drove from NJ to see the properties, had a summer residence in the neighboring village of Bayside since 1969, I was no stranger to this area. The property inspector, DJ Brown of China Villag, Me. corrupted his report, supervised by reality agent Sam Mitchell, Bill Ingersoll and Jan Andrews all of the BH&G, now Masiello Group Realtor, High St. Belfast Me. in April of 2010- spring melt, stream/ditch  and un-stabilized banks not disclosed in report or listing. At showing a few months before in 12/2009- 2 inches of fresh snow covered yard. The stream not visible and at move in in 6/2010 it looked like the drainage ditch surrounding the 1/4 acre property on all 3 sides. That spring, 4/2011 all hell would break lose. Wild rapids thundering through my yard for over a week, ripping away over 600 ft of property. Welcome back to hell, thought I'd escaped the domestic abuse by the skin of our teeth to begin again in safety. All residents are in danger, corruption off the charts, a respected official confiding that "We have not seen anything yet" Shocked at what their plans are. It's happening, has been happening, and I'm doing all I can to bring it all out. Not just my property- all properties, all abuse and corruption. Four years later, eyes are opening wide. Still, no one has stepped up to unite for accountability and resolution. Infrastructure and schools denied, what a disaster.

DEP including Commissioner Aho, Maine State Real Estate Commission, Governor LePage, Senator Thibodeau, Senator Olympia Snow, Senator Susan Collins, Senator Angus King, Belfast City Hall, Belfast City Council, Attorney General, FBI, FEMA, Waldo County EMA, Belfast Police Department, Sheriff, Deputy Sheriff, JB Turner, President of Front Street Ship Yard, Greg Dutch owner of Dutch Chevrolet,residents, real estate agents, Belfast Arts in the Park, Belfast Celtic Celebration, Bill Maher, reaching out to Veterans, all media, on and on...I've chased them all, pleading and proving, Save Seaview, Save Belfast- no comment. That woman is crazy relentless, we would NEVER do those things. Right. Water doesn't lie, neither does the corruption and abuse to other residents properties. The blogs contain the overwhelming proof. However, a tactic is to overwhelm with rhetoric.  I was beat up when I moved here, it's been difficult. I try the best I can to document and spread awareness with blogging, posting, protesting and attending City Council meetings where they try to shut me up like no others. Then alienate, slander, intimidate, basic mental torture. And no one stops them, that is the heart break. Humanity.

Excuse the repetition and disorganization through out the blogs, every day is another battle. I'm alone taking them ALL on. And will until.

See above tab City Attorney Fees Request

http://www.hulu.com/watch/19280/saturday-night-live-debbie-downer-birthday-party To make you laugh. All that know me NOW, will say, yup, that's Laurie. But I'm laughing through it too. City Hall is too sick not to laugh. Come to the Boycott Corruption picnic in Belfast City Park on 5/2414 (see details in above tab and lets have some fun while assembling for JustUs.)

This request for public money spent on fees and wants is crucial. Belfast Gotham City Manager Joe Slocum and City Attorney Bill Kelly will corrupt this to the hilt. All Belfast residents should be on this. I can't get diddly squat from them alone. But I sure do keep trying- 4 years and counting. :)

3/31/14- True to form, as for the past 4 years with Belfast City Hall. No documents to prove our corruption and abuse to residents for you. Final Approved Site Plans, Infrastructure Storm Water maps,  Zoning Conditions of Approval, Financial Accounting for public spending for City Attorney fees, lawsuits, in house counsel, grants, matching funds, studies, consultations, etc. City Manager Joe Slocum and City Planner Wayne Marshall corrupt every request, never to give actual documents, never to comply, continue to torture me and try to extort fees for document research which will yield zero. Maine Freedom Information Act and overseeing Attorney General's office even more corrupt. Refusing to reinforce and investigate.

Local Realtor Puzz Caswell owned my home, sold and began turnover deception 1990-Corruption stops here with me-2010.



(I sent an attachment of proof of non-disclosure and set up to sell me this hell- containing original emails where I refuse a disclosed stream property right off the bat, the property inspection, etc.- it is below these emails.)

To All Belfast Area Realtor's,

To date, the agency that has sold me hell has not responded to my request for these MLS listings. I am sending this request out to all. These MLS listings are in the archives, please mail them to me. In the attachment is a brief summary of intent to destroy my new life. Beginning with my refusal for stream properties and water concerns through out. As you will see, Bill Ingersoll went to great lengths to deceive me, a domestic survivor paying cash to relocate to safety. As you look as these requested listings on Seaview Terrace, do you see stream disclosure? The day of the showing of Seaview Terrace was after a few inches of fresh snow. The yard was level, agents stated there were no water issues or problems with neighborhood, just a bad market. That other undisclosed hell on Birch St, where the agent really baited me, saying that huge crack in the basement wall was repaired and not a problem. No way, I ran from there. It is still for sale right? Secret hell all over that subdivision.  They never answered my questions as to how subdivision infrastructure work with the City.

Jan Andrews recommended DJ Brown for the property inspection. Good. Spring melt too- Sam Mitchell supervised the inspections- see the report in the attachment- stream never disclosed AGAIN, or unstabilized banks, the drywall at the entrance is peeling- one coat of paint! Looks most of the drywall was replaced- new cracking in many places.

How can you sell these properties of hell and ruin people's lives? There is no doubt that I was thorough, did everything, asked everything, and Bill took me out. Jan took me out. Sam took me out. DJ Brown took me out. Belfast City Planner, Manager, Code Officer, Council, Attorney, DEP, Realtor Commission, all these businesses drowning us, a flood zone, flood plain, hiding documents, beating me to death. Stress kills, we were at death's door when we came here in 2010 to begin again. Puzz Caswell- prior owner of my house and the first to start the deceptions and corruptions to the buyer. She even told me that it was the City's responsibility to fix Seaview, she had never seen the destruction so bad, and then she lies to the commission with a written testimony that I caused the erosion. That I ripped up the banks for a garden, that I never got a fence permit, lies, total lies.

Four years later, the basic infrastructure for residents is denied and you trick the buyers. You should be screaming at City Hall. The schools are a disaster, the mil rate is going to go through the roof. This was years and years in the making and no one spoke up or stood up. That I know of. It is all coming to a nasty head. Soon, I will be out protesting and spreading awareness. It is sickening to think I was denied life by Bill Ingersoll, Jan Andrews and Sam Mitchell. 

Ethical agents will send the listings, and they will be on the good list when I protest in town very soon, day after day, month after month, event after event, post after post, meeting after meeting, until. www.boycottbelfast.blogpsot.com , www.belfastbullies.blogspot.com  ,www.belfastbullies2.blogspot.com www.belfastbullies3.blogspot.com

Hi- I like 12 Stover- mls#918125. Stream has me nervous though. Any water ever in basement- there aren't any pictures of the basement. What is in there? What about the street itself when it snows? Does the town plow- how does that work? What do you think the lowest price they would take for it? Had a realtor here today- going to start at 300K, might not be able to afford 240 after all is said and done- 210-220 cash might be more like it. Thanks. Also- I may change my visit to the week after christmas. Will keep you posted.

Hi Janet,
 
I'm interested in #930751. Is the basement dry? I think I read that you can access the garage through the house- probably down stairs right? Is there a bathroom downstairs? Is the deck stable? I want to be able to accept a low offer on this house and still have a cushion. I would put up a privacy fence, the dogs don't bark if they aren't provoked. Please tell me what you can- age of windows, roof, furnace, etc. Thanks
 
Laurie

Hi Jan,

Thanks for all the listings. I am booked at the Comfort Inn for the week after Xmas. Monday- Thursday are good to show. I'd prefer to get them all in on the same day. These are the listings, 955519, 929401, 936556 ( YES, 2/BR- ok- I like that it is by the Y), 930751 and 955457. These last 2 on Seaview- what is the reason for selling on these? Is anything happening that will make me sad for living there? I have been through hell and back and do not want trouble with any neighbors, construction and persistent noise- is Rte 1 a problem for these residents? Do any of these listings have these problems?

My plans are to sell and be in Belfast by summer 2010. To move my house, I may have to take a beating- but I will and will scale down my purchase. I am determined and will be buying.

Sincerely,

Laurie Allen

Hi Laurie:  I have taken a look at the five listings you sent me.  I see no problems with any of them.  The ones in Seaview Terr. Are in an area between t. 1 and Northport Ave.  However, other then some road noise, there is no problem with the neighborhood. 
Be sure to contact me at least a week before Christmas to confirm your stay and to add any additional listings.  Right now I have you scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 29th.  We can discuss a time with you confirm. 
Happy Thanksgiving.  Jan

Hi Laurie:  The house on High St. has a wet yard and when I was last in it, it had mold growing on one wall.  I do not think this would work for you.  A short sale is one that takes a ton of patience to work through and a lot of time.  It would be good if you could avoid the short sale homes. 
Be patient.  The market is beginning to get better.  Check often with your Realtor on the market conditions in your area.  Our area is always about 6 months behind the rest of New England.  Take care, Jan

we're talking about the ranch with the english lady right? Thank you for advising me on both.

Hi,

I dropped my price by 25k a week ago and haven't had one showing. The ranch on High St is not going to be within my range. I have to have a little reserve for emergency until I get a job. Seaview is best but if that sells I need a back up. #98213 is close to the park on Wight St. It's small but at that price I can manage. Is it decent? The yard looks good, not sure how short sales work.

I'm waiting till month end and if no offers, I'll drop another 10 and so on.

Thanks,

Laurie

Hi- 

Glad to hear the house is empty- did they replace the dishwasher? "As Is" on the appliances?? I thought there was a 1 year warranty on the home. I didn't really look at the appliances because I figured it would be covered if there was anything wrong with them. Usually men aren't as observant as women- the house should look like the pictures look- how is the yard? Can you put in a clause that it is subject to your inspection when you return in May?

Also, my closing isn't until after 6/23, but before 6/30- so far it's 6/25. My buyer put a Time of Essence on the contract to be sure it closes by the end of June for the mortgage. 

It is best to reach me on my house phone- 732-238-4645- the cell is usually in the car- I rarely use it. 

Thanks,

Laurie

Hi,

We spoke the other day about the eroison (the mowers came back to mow the area but I had already done it). I went down to City Hall and Wayne showed me a map where many runoff's (I think around 5, I asked for a copy of that map but haven't rec'd) are channeled into the stream. Wayne has yet to respond how it can be legal for the City to divert storm drain to private property and incredibly a floodplain to boot.

The stream appears to me to have been trenched because it clear of large boulders which I see up on the banks. Wayne is telling me it is a natural stream and the City did not trench. Do you or Karen know if this stream was ever altered by anyone?

I will foward you the emails so far.

I don't know if Karen is aware of the additional constrcution of the professional building of WCGH behind us. They are doubling the size and moving the chillers and other equipment to directly behind us. It is currently behind the Smith's @ 5 Seaview and Mr. Smith said the constant noise from the chiller is "maddening". Mike Hogan has tried to appease him with shubbery and shields that have been ineffective. In the public hearing last week, Hogan said he is moving the equipment because of Mr. Smith. I wrote in and asked for the units to be put in front of the building (they can enclose them and deal with it) but Hogan said he would be "appalled" to drive in and see that. He was argumentative with the board, saying it doesn't meet the 75 decibels and is not concerned with the residents. They will be expanding the building again and enlarging the unit as well and Hogan is not concerned with that. On 5/25 at 6pm the Planning Board is coming to the site, the public can attend but cannot comment until the meeting immediately following at 7. They are accepting written/email concerns prior.

I do not want to be told that he will put in a few useless shrubs or a small screen. I am asking for it to be moved or for a full well made sound barrier to enclose the chiller and for screening so that we are not looking at the additional machinery as well ( a huge white propane tank, electrical boxes and who knows what else- he never presented that in his application) The storm runoff will also be addressed and the land owned by the mental health for hazardous trees.

I watched hours/days of debate for the removal of a tree because of the wind turbine blades that will be moved through our roads. I told the planning board that I expect the same support and concern as it will clearly negatively affect quality of life.

Sincerely,

Laurie Allen
