Putin City Hall, Belfast Maine... Vladimir Hurley Belfast City Council from New Jersey totally knows the City is illegally drowning us. They lock up the documents and deny all. Here's a sample of during the first year. Hurley is the king pin. Owns several businesses and is on "Fire" for Belfast- downtown Belfast that is. Robbing and drowning the wee ones for his visions. Force Flood them and tell them it's a natural outlet and mother nature. Then after we wipe them out, take it through inverse condemnation and put down a parking lot for the new healthcare area. Seaview Terrace is Seaview Perish.
After 7 month of being shoved down rabbit hole after rabbit hole, I went public on 11/1/11. I was scared to death, relocation was contested and awarded. I needed to be under all radar. I had to save my home/neighborhood. After this meeting, I speak at over 50 more to present. Key meetings are posted in above tabs with summaries.
The later meetings have a new format to click exactly to open to the public. The old ones, you have to ff and I speak for a long time with fact after fact. After my 2nd speaking Hurley takes a public rant against me. I am home watching and frightened for my safety. A City Council member attacking a resident for speaking truth of force flooding and intimidation tactics. Here is his rant. He has done this for 4 years. Wayne is the Belfast City Planner and Joe is the Belfast City Manager. For the prior 7 months, those 2 have buried documents, lied, denied, told employees not to help me, on and on. Slam, slam, slam.

11/1/11
First Meeting After 7 months of Lies/Withholding Public
Documents/Tossing Me Around like a Pack of Cigarettes...sucking the
life out of me
http://vimeo.com/31506248 11/1/11
City Hall Meeting- fast forward 20minutes, 44 seconds, hard to hit
that though, seems to jump from 20minutes to after my speech is done.
May have to begin listening at 19 minutes, but don't ff- it will skip
to end again. You can back it up too. I give almost 15 minutes of
choking testimony. After my wrenching public plea to stop flooding us
52 minutes into meeting City Manager Joe Slocum tries to deflect from
missing map and discredit me, that was only the beginning of the
missing documents that Wayne must have hid when you hear him give the
history of the development 56 minutes into meeting. When questioned
by Council, Mike Hurley as to what is Belfast's Storm Water
Ordinance, Wayne Marshall, City Planner and torturer of my life,
states it directs to send storm water to nearest PUBLIC waterway-
streams. I have requested this ordinance since and he fails to
produce it... he must be lying and Seaview Terrace is NOT a public
waterway, the City has no right aways or easements...THIS IS
OUTRAGEOUS!!Then Mike Hurley says this storm water flooding is
Council's problem but then they vote to take no action in the 1/3/12
Meeting where they brought in the City Attorney who had more public
documents with held from me specific to my property. When I tried to
question him he ran away and Council closed the
discussion.
12/6/11
City
Hall Meeting- I speak publicly ff to 28 minutes - 45 minutes in- I'm
new to speaking and stumbling but effective- @41 minutes I'm free
wheeling for the last 5 minutes. YOU MUST GO TO THE BREAK @ 2 HOURS 5
MINUTES IN. Sound is off but Slocum's hands are flying- then @ 2:11:05
here he comes with maps that I was never allowed to see. Swarming and
pouring. THEN HURLEY DOESN'T KNOW THE MIKE IS BACK ON AND AT 2:14:19
SAYS "Give her an answer. "Are we going to build her a storm system or
not." The answer is not, lets nail her and he proceeds to doing just
that @ 2:25:56 until 2:29:13. I let it
rip with truth and maps. After 8 months of avoidance, corruption and
lies, the public must know that Council IS KNOWINGLY FLOODING THE
CITY ENDANGERED FLOOD ZONE OF SEAVIEW TERRACE AND TAKING OUR TAX
DOLLARS AND BUYING RECREATIONAL PARCELS FOR MILLIONS AND WILL COST
MILLIONS TO DEVELOP...SEAVIEW TERRACE PROPERTY IS WORTHLESS BECAUSE
OF CITY OFFICIALS.Verbal Planning approvals with residents present
are a sham. What the Planning Board approves and what the Planning
Manager, Wayne Marshall DOES are night and day. Impossible for the
resident to get accountability and public documents.
Later
at the end of the meeting, long after I'm gone, ff to 2:25:56 Council member Mike
Hurley slanders me with confidence and ease.
Mike Hurley’s public rant against me at the 12/6/11 City Council meeting. He is outraged that after 7 month of behind to scene's attempts to steam roll "she takes it completely public" Here's the rest.
“I
want to respond during the discussion about water. I came to the entire
subject early on when we stated getting copied here on everything, wit a
pretty open mind about it, well, is there a problem here? What’s the
problem? I think that’s what we do her quite often is hey what’s the
problem and try to fix it and if there is something we can do.
I want to
say I had an open mind to it but having had the avalanche of emails
that we received and what we heard tonight again, I just want to say
that, ya know, if anybody thinks the way to solve a problem is to insult
people with things like, Wayne’s World, Ignorant, Dysfunctional, Shot
to Hell, Deceiving, Corruption, Lies, Cover Ups, Bullied, I want to add
one word…RIDICULOUS. I’ve worked with all these guys and I’ve been on
the wrong side of government in the past and I’ve been on the wrong side
of government while I’ve been in government. And ya know, it’s just
ridiculous to listen to this stuff.
I would not object to putting this
on the agenda for us to talk about what we should do about this if
anything.(out of quote for me to say they put it on the 1/4/12 agenda and brought in the City Attorney Bill Kelly to speak for them and shut it down.With more with held public documents. Council voted No Action.) But, you know, to listen to these to these kind of character
assassinations of people who could really be bothered to do these things
to this woman, I’m really sorry, nobody has any interest in doing any
of these kinds of things that she keeps proclaiming and you know it’s
unfortunate she takes it completely publicly and tonight even, I kept
waiting for her, what’s the problem (out of quote for me to say, I
clearly stated in the beginning what the problem, what I wanted done,
and backed it up with facts for the ?? Time) How would we address the
problem.
I THINK SHE’S MORE INTERESTED IN FIGHTING, but I’m willing to
talk about it and look at it and maybe, ya know, there’s something we
can do, I don’t know. But anyway, I FEEL LIKE WAYNE AND JOE, IN PARTICULAR HAVE BEEN AN ABSOLUTE PINATA AND I APPRECIATE THEM BEING
RESTRAINED. I am sure, I can tell from everything that the landowner is
absolutely feels put upon by the water that runs in the stream in
through her yard. I think, maybe there’s a way to solve this but
constantly insulting the people you’re trying to talk with, at least
it’s never worked for me at home.”
I am at home watching Hurley say this on live TV and am horrified and frightened. He just made me a public enemy to any feeling threatened by a woman and/or honesty. While any storm can take me out. The witch hunt is on. That was 4 years ago.

Hi
Laurie/ what you have called my denouncing of you is a
misinterpretation. I am denouncing your attitude and your language. You
have repeatedly used insulting language that is unacceptable to me. You
throw around words like bullying, Wayne’s World, corrupt, liars, etc.
etc. etc. I do not agree with you in the use of these words regardless
of whatever your problem may be regarding the stream that crosses your
property. You do not have a right to verbally attack and abuse people
and go unchallenged for using the language you choose to repeatedly use.
So in my words: your choice of language is rude and ridiculous. You
have a problem with your stream where it crosses your property. If you
want to talk about the problem; fine. But I will not just stand by while
you repeatedly attack people who are trying to do their job. We will
probably have a public discussion on city responsibility for storm water

Hi
Laurie/ I’ve been on the good and bad side of government for many
years. I believe I have a pretty good knowledge of how government acts
and responds to citizens such as yourself. I first came into government,
ran for office, to change how people were treated by their government.
When you are speaking in public: that is your time to speak. It’s not a
debate. If communications had come after you spoke I would have said
exactly what I said later in communications. I stand by my comments. I
have championed many people who felt they were getting a bad deal from
local or state government. I, and the rest of us in city government,
including Wayne Marshall and Joe Slocum, actually do this because we
like serving the public. If you don’t like hearing from and helping
people to the best of our ability there isn’t much else in the job. But
often we have to also tell people that we can’t help them and no one
likes to hear that. If no one told you there was a stream on your
property how is that a city concern? If as you think; you were mislead
by a realtor , how is that a concern of the city? There is a realtor
review board and lawyers are always ready to take a case. As far as the
stream that may or may have not been moved back almost 50 years ago do
you want us to take action based on that possibility? How would you feel
if you were perfectly happy in your home and we came along and said “50
years ago they moved the stream and you need to move it back?” I think
any reasonable person would say 50 years ago is no longer anyone’s
responsibility. At this point; whatever is on the ground is what it is.
You make a number of points that essentially hinge on
1. that we have moved water that used to not flow through your stream on your property
2. that development approved by the City of Belfast has sped water downstream that used to not flow at the same speed or volume
I
have looked at the maps available at City Hall and I do not agree with
your point # 1. When I look at the water retention that was designed and
built by the various projects they do not appear to be failing or
unable to hold back the water. I have looked at the stream and I have a
differing view than yours and what should be done about it, if anything.
There may be more rain but that is another office higher than mine.
My
point about communication is that you have repeatedly used language
that is destructive to problem solving. Sometimes you have to choose
between fighting and problem solving. From my experience the use of
language like Wayne’s World, corruption, lies, cover-ups, bullying,
ignorant, shot to Hell, dysfunctional, and deceiving among them create
an atmosphere that is not conducive to problem solving. I reject all of
those descriptions and terms.
I
expect we will discuss our storm water responsibilities. There are
dozens of streams such as yours, I have one that crosses my property,
and how the city deals with our responsibilities to safeguard stream
banks is a good topic for us to consider. I am very sorry you have had
such a tortured experience. I believe turning down the rhetoric is
always a better way to find a solution; if there is one available. In
the end you may remain unhappy with the city response. Having sued the
City of Belfast myself in the past that is always a option for you to
consider. And if your attorney talked to a judge with the language you
use routinely you’d probably fire him. I hope that you will find a way
not be driven unhappily by this very stressful situation. Best/ Mike

11/17/2014 There are many more personal attacks by City Council Vladimir Hurley as recent as 9/2015. Imagine what is said to the parties he controls. People I have known since youth summers from 1969 in the neighboring village of Bayside have stabbed me in the back to stay in the graces of Putin Hall and Belfast "community". They wear their guilt and shame every day attempting to blame me for what they allow and support. I am working on compiling Hurley's attacks on a separate blog- but I'm frying many foul souls. I'll work on Vlad Hurley @ www.michaelmanical.blogspot.com, then to Belfast City Manager Joe Slocum, Belfast City Planner Wayne Marshall, Belfast City Attorney Bill Kelly, Real Estate Agency owner Earl Black, his agents Bill Ingersoll, Sam Mitchell, and Jan Andrews, their recommended property inspector- DJ Brown Property Inspector (China, Maine), Maine Realtor Commission, Maine DEP commissioner Aho and her staff, Maine Attorney General's office for Freedom of Information, Brenda Kielty and executive secretary Rose Smith, Senator Mike Thibodeau, Senator Angus King, prior Senator Olympia Snowe, Governor LePage, and more related players TBA.

try and deflect the forced flooding. KELLY REVEALS YET ANOTHER PUBLIC

what else they hide? Impossible to know, I have been intimidated and
refused information on my property for 10 months and counting. ) A

City accountable for flooding. In fact, even with residents
complaints of flooding in 1987, begins the City Planning approvals
for Capt Albert Stevens School, Volunteers of America, Tall Pines,
MidCoast Mental Health to build, eliminating ground absorption,
accumulating storm water in huge dug out pools and channel down to
private property, Seaview Terrace. Clobber us further by taking the
storm water across Rte 1 from the Armory, National Guard, down to
Pray's Homes along the side, back towards the trailer park,
meandering and to accumulate more stormwater from who knows how far
back and back across Rte 1, culvert forced directly into Seaview
Terrace.
During Katrina, I was(and still am) fighting to save my home/neighborhood from the same. I had sent my Belfast City Council rep., Marina DeLune an email- 10 months of begging City Council to investigate with a quote from Brad Pitt . She called me in a threat to the Chief of Police and I was summoned into pokey. She later apologized but what if I the Chief didn't think I was stable? I had just moved us out of destruction and the last thing we needed was this. Four years later, it is beyond scope. I keep vigil exposure.

Marina,
Just now on Sunday Morning, Brad Pitt spoke
about his help to New Orleans. He said nothing makes him angrier than hearing
that the devastation was due to an "Act of God" when it is the "Failure
of Man". Deja Vu.
Looking the other way through rose colored
glasses is open invitation for those who have other ways. Someone has to fight
back- you are not willing to see it and that is dangerous since you are
Council. It is difficult and crushing while you support evil dealings and that
has happened to other residents. However, they don't have the money to fight
back or the strength. You will see, I hope you will try before it blows
up.

Dear Chief McFadden and Marina,
I wanted to thank the Chief for
reaching out to me on 1/30/12 in regards to the email above. I want to
clarify the email and put Marina at ease. I meant that it is dangerous
for ME that Marina does not see or acknowledge that I feel threatened
because of the verbal discrediting/slander broadcast on TV from Mike
Hurley, Joe Slocum and Wayne Marshall.
I meant that I will
continue to make this very public until resolution ( hence, before it
blows up). I have been trying since May to handle this with dignity
and honesty. At minimum, it would have been professional and ethical for
the slander and discrediting against me to have been publicly
retracted as I requested and was denied. For the record, I will forward
those communications from Mike Hurley and me. I did express concern for
my safety yesterday to Chief McFadden. There are many men with anger
issues against strong women. Mike Hurley had no right to place me in
jeopardy.
I should have contacted the Chief of Police immediately but didn't want to cause further friction.
Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

Hi Laurie,
Thank-you for your email.
I feel a little guilty and embarrassed now about
what was clearly an overreaction to your email, but I did feel threatened by the
language and was truly afraid that things had escalated out off control and
might end in violence.
I have been fully reassured by the Chief that there
is no danger of physical harm from you, and I hope that you can have that
same reassurance for yourself in regards to the Council. We have no desire to
keep you from having your say. Nobody has any plans or desire to have you
intimidated from having your say, and I'm quite certain that the Chief did a
good job at conveying that.
I have been insulted several times, quite
outrageously, by Mike Hurley, as have many, many other people. It's almost
a rite of passage living in Belfast, and anyone who has lived in Belfast for
awhile is very aware of this. Rather than damaging your reputation, you are much
more likely to have gained sympathy from the public
He rarely apologizes. But he will often turn right
around later and do something kind and helpful.
Believe it or not, after his rant, he tried to find a
way that we could help you to reinforce the banks of your stream inexpensively
using some kind of wire netting system. We were told that the City can not
selectively help out in matters involving private property- that in matters
concerning drainage if we set a precedent it could cost millions and
millions of dollars to help everyone else.. But Mike did sincerely make an
effort to help you, doing research as to what was out there that could do the
job inexpensively. He does really care about people, he just has a very short
fuse, But once he's blown off steam, he doesn't hold on to his anger.
Physically, I can assure you, he wouldn't hurt a fly, and you are in no
danger.
Laurie, at the neighborhood site visit, I heard both Chris
Cabot from the DEP and Mike Hogan say that your drainage and erosion problem was
not a serious one, and that it could be adequately addressed with $2000 to $3000
worth of work. I know that you are very hard up for money, so perhaps there is
little comfort in that for you. But I also I know that you feel your
house is in imminent danger, but that is not the impression that I got from them
at all. Perhaps Mike Hogan would be willing to talk to you about that and have
some helpful suggestions.
I have received some free information from the Waldo
County Cooperative Extension about various inexpensive plantings that I can
do to help prevent erosion along the bank of my property in Stockton
Springs. I don't know if that would be helpful information for you, but if you
think it might be, their phone number is 342-5971.
Best wishes,
Marina
*Added 11/18/2014
The complete denial and zero concern of the force flooding of miles and miles of developed impervious ground to the tiny 12 home, flood plain, flood zone and THROUGH my private property is insane. DEP is in on it approving the very sites to drain to my property. Some designed by Mike Hogan. The DEP somehow deemed my private property drainage ditch that is NOT a natural outlet, as wetlands. Giving them regulation and corrupt approvals to send runoff from miles away to my property. "Not a serious one, could be adequately addressed with $2000 to $3000" Marina is lying. Just to shore up the sides are estimates of 75-80k because it's "wetlands" and requires permit by rule, engineering, etc. And that's just to try to stop the rest of my yard and fence from getting swept away from the next heavy rain, meltoff from illegal snow piling- look at the map I drew, the video of destruction from ONE spring melt lasting for days. The expense to correctly mitigate with infrastructure is big. Hence- make me look "ridiculous" and torture her for every request for help till she breaks.

Here is the Chief after my threat assessment. (I had also cited concern for the new police presence specifically
brought in for me during my public speakings at the City Council
meetings. The Chief was not in support of that, but Gotham City Manager
Joe Slocum ordered it. Protect the corrupt officials by pulling the
protection for the people off the streets. As the years went on, Slocum
would have the Police department intimidate me 2 more times in private,
off the record, not in the station. I do not allow that anymore. I watch
my back, front, sides, where I go, what I do, what I say, and am not a
welcome community member in the downtown. The Chamber of Commerce are

haven’t identified anything the Police would or should become involved
in. That being said I want you to feel comfortable calling on us if
someone/something is causing you to become afraid. I wish you nothing

didn’t change. My impression of you was that you are a fighter (Not a
bad thing) and you’re not afraid to stand up for what you think is
right. (again not a bad thing) I met you and I found you to be genuine

frustrations with the City, and I even felt comfortable enough speaking
with you to tell you about something I didn’t particularly care for.

Four years of tactics to silence and break me for exposing illegal flooding, destruction and endangering the lives and private property of residents, right up to the State level.

I have been told I am no more than a "Pimple on their ass." Isn't that special.
Here is the 60 minutes clip for investigative NY Times reporter and author, James Risen. The government gives him a choice- give up your source or go to jail. Death of your soul or jail. No contest.
New FBI Director, prior Deputy Attorney that refused to break the law and resigned in 2004, James Comey, gives me hope with the brave whistle blowers.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-director-james-comey-on-privacy-and-surveillance/
That's a principle over which James Comey is willing to sacrifice his
career. He proved it in 2004 when he was deputy attorney general. Comey
was asked to reauthorize a package of top secret, warrantless
surveillance targeting foreign terrorists. But Comey told us
"significant aspects" of the massive program were not lawful. He
wouldn't be specific because it's still top secret.
Scott Pelley: This was not something you were willing to stand for?
James
Comey: No, I was the deputy attorney general of the United States. We
were not going to authorize, reauthorize or participate in activities
that did not have a lawful basis.
At the time, Comey was in charge
at the Justice Department because Attorney General John Ashcroft was in
intensive care with near fatal pancreatitis. When Comey refused to sign
off, the president's Chief of Staff Andy Card headed to the hospital to
get Ashcroft's OK.
Scott Pelley: You got in a car with lights and siren and raced to the hospital to beat the president's chief of staff there?
James Comey: Yep, raced over there, ran up the stairs, got there first.
Scott Pelley: What did you tell the attorney general lying in his hospital bed?
James
Comey: Not much, because he was very, very bad off. I tried to see
whether he was oriented as to place and time. And it was clear to me
that he wasn't. I tried to have him understand what this was about. And
it wasn't clear to me that he understood what I was saying. So I sat
down to wait.
Scott Pelley: To wait for Andy Card, the president's chief of staff?
James Comey: Yeah, and then White House Counsel Gonzales.
Scott
Pelley: They spoke to Attorney General Ashcroft and said that the
program should be reauthorized and you were there to argue that it
should not be. How did it end?
James Comey: With the attorney
general surprising me, shocking me by pushing himself up on his elbows,
and in very strong terms articulating the merits of the matter. And then
saying, "But that doesn't matter because I'm not the attorney general."
And then he turned to me and pointed and said, "There's the attorney
general." And then he fell back. And they turned and left.
Scott Pelley: You'd won the day?
James Comey: Yeah, I didn't feel that way.

My prior boss at one of these lethal, ruthless, corporate banks couldn't wrap his head around the fact that I would not pressure customers into buying "insurances". A trainer came and badgered me for hours to force me into pressuring customers. No dice. She was relentless to where my boss finally told her that was enough because it was clear I was ready to walk. Employees baited with bonuses and awards and intimidated with firing. I asked one of the "top" employees how did she do that. She lowered her head and said she targeted students. The day after, another worker was being escorted out in tears. I asked her what happened? She said she quit because of the same pressuring. Our training group of new hires began at 15. After 6 months, 2 were left.
I went into personnel and told them "I am here to do the best honest work I can give you. If you are going to beat on me, than fire me right now." That branch was rated the cruelest call center in their world wide network. Corruption culture of greed.
Back to the compiling of thug pages in the pink below. It drags me down to keep reliving the 4 years. I haven't had the stomach to go there... I will advise HERE when I add the pages.

So often times it happens. That we live our lives in chains. And we never even know we have the key...
Here
I am, Flag High-Peace Sign- hot on the tail of Mayor Ash and my
council- Mary Mortier and City Manager- Joe Slocum- the City Wall Hall
slaughtering my neighborhood. For a mile they were just a bit coward with fearless me flying in the high of freedom. It was grand! 5/2013
10/31/14 "Laurie Riot vs. Putin Hall, Belfast Maine" Protesting @ Belfast City Hall today from noon-2 Happy Halloween All!!
10/24/14 Saw this on
the news last night. From Federal to Local- the tactics are the same-
more shocking when they come after Mom trying to begin again under abuse
radar...corruption at the core of humanity. Amazing that for 4 years,
the public is still watching and waiting for what? Laura- come and tell
my story, parallel to Citizenfour only no one is protecting or helping, I
keep standing.
Though
superlatives can mischaracterize any movie’s qualities, it is not an
overstatement, I think, to call “Citizenfour,” Laura Poitras’ film about
Edward Snowden, the movie of the century (to date).
2. Will be 7/2011-8/2011 with City Planner Wayne Marshall, City Council Marina Delune, Mayor Ash and DEP Chris Cabot

Ms. Allen,
The photographic Map that
show the stream behind your house in 1957 ,before any house in your
neighborhood existed, remains in Jennika's office for the convenience of
your inspection. So is the second Aerial photo map from 1997 where your
house and neighborhood is depicted- showing the very same stream. I
wrote to you and we have not heard back from you on your interest in
seeing these Maps. I can't copy them in house and will be pleased to
have them copied for you when you bring the money in that such copies
cost. Once you see them you may be in a better position to decide
whether you want copies.
I have found NO maps that depict all storm water channels draining
into the culvert at the top of Seaview Terrace. I am continuing to look
for any Maps I can find that show storm drain channels draining into
the stream that moves through the culvert at the top Seaview Terrace
near Route #1. You may wish to contact the State to ask them if they
have any maps of any drainage they have going into this stream. I am
not sure who you would ask but perhaps the State officials who came to
your neighborhood and inspected this stream could assist you with that.
It is my understanding that you have the flood maps of your area. If not let me know and I will get you copies.
I
have found no maps of storm water channels draining into the stream at
your private property. That being said it is possible that the two
small culverts (10-12 inches) underneath the road at 45 and 49 were
indeed built by the City. It would have been a long time ago and I have
no maps of them but they are readily visible. I did confirm with Bob
Richards, our DPW Director, that about 8 years ago a ditch that carried
water off the road and also from the abutting private property was
overgrown and the public works crew- in a maintenance effort and with
the permission of the property owner did indeed go in and clear out the
growth in that existing ditch. That is my best understanding of what
happened. The only reason for the City to do this was because the water
was starting to back up onto the road which the City wanted to clear it
off.
Although I do not generally do research for anyone as that is not
what the Freedom of Information Act requires, I did look up this statute
which I believe supports the City's obligation and right to put small 2
culverts under the road and to maintain this ditch that public works
removed the growth from.

****************************************************************************
10/28/14- Below is ongoing communications and abuse. Deleted a bunch in error yesterday on the past 2 brutal months. The meetings need to be reposted with summaries and documentation. I'll work on this today. Will advise when organized. Parts of this blog are too personal, but this is totally personal. My home, my life, children, home, safety and health have been under their hacking assault by the masses. Salem witch burning.
Way back in 8/2011, City Manager Joe Slocum did not care about the private properties destroyed by City slaughter but he did care somewhat about the City owned road of Seaview Terrace. At my insistence, he finally came to inspect the destruction. He needs his own chapter- but I will stick to the paving of Seaview Terrace at this time. Note Slocum's web spinning to cover up slaughter and law breaking. Sending me water and the beginning of neighbor alienation.
In an email dated 8/12/2011 from Slocum he wrote " 9. Seaview Terrace is a City road and I need to find out how wide our
right of way is. The City does have the right to shed water away from
its roads to protect them from the kind of damage we saw Tuesday. I may
also call the City Attorney to secure his advice."
And in a Slocum 9/9/2011 email "
" The road could indeed use some work and will be addressed in
conjunction with our regular road program which calls for attention in
areas about every 10 years. The road has alligator cracking because the
ground underneath is wet. The present existence of a couple of culverts
underneath the road which transfer some water from the higher land
across the street to your land on the North side are an attempt by the
City to have the road not act as a dam to the natural flow of gravity
and also to preserve the asphalt on the road itself by eliminating
standing water on the road edge or underneath it. We have these culverts
all over the City and you will indeed find them all over the State.I
will ask my Public Works Director, by copy of this email to let us know
in what year your road might see some resurfacing. It will not be this
year. At this time there are no funds or plans to install storm sewers
along your road. We like many municipalities have have many roads
without these amenities
My observation suggests to me that the stream behind your house has
been there for a hundred years and has acted as the watershed for
everything above it including your entire street. The City is not
responsible for changes to the land or for the constructions of
buildings, the expansions of lawns or cutting of vegetation done by
every home owner- including your predecessor which has had an impact on
surface and sub surface water in your neighborhood. The very ditch that
is maintained between you and your neighbor is a good example of how you
and your neighbor channel your water to the stream behind your house
that is the natural drainage way. This stream and the water the water
your entire neighborhood adds to it, simply goes behind other peoples
houses down grade from you and in fact goes right into our City Park
where it empties to the Sea. Some of your neighbors across the street
want more surface water drained toward your side.
Finally, if you continue to believe that the City is the party
responsible for your damage then please send me your reasons and I will
present your legal claim to our insurance company to see if they see
this matter differently than I do.
Absent new information this is my final response to this matter. I
am sorry that I could not find a way to agree with your conclusions."
Ha- like Marshall in 4 months prior- trying to send me down insurance hell hole. Not going. And you have no idea who you are dealing with. Final response- I don't think so.
I run with the paving and drainage. Slocum never gets back to me on the paving. I start trying to get funding through Northport Avenue Tax Increment fund. Seaview Terrace could be included into those boundaries through the new improvements and the Annex. I did my homework. And campaigned for the next years in meeting after meeting, email after email- no action, no comments, but I was relentless. I also campaigned to have Slocum put Seaview Terrace, a flood plain, flood zone into a mitigation plan. I did my homework on that too. No action, no comments. Both will be documented with emails and specific meetings on it's on page.
In April 2014, Slocum finally announces to City Council that Seaview Terrace must be regraded. It is a mess, heaves, cracked- over 17 years since last paved. The culverts draining to my property need to be replaced and this practice is now illegal. State Law prohibits sending accumulating runoff to another private property. They must install road side drainage- there is no other option. Slocum and Councilor Hurley refuse to spend the 135k needed to pave it properly and state this publicly in meetings. For 4 years they refused to prepare and were now breaking the law and threatening Seaview Terrace residents. I had just saved us from getting illegally rezoned to a new zone- from residential to residential and healthcare. Meaning a meth clinic could be my 20 ft away neighbor.
Seaview Terrace residents joined to shut that down, and I was splintered out. Residents didn't want anymore trouble. They did not have the water coming through their yards, because I was getting their water. I knew the City would be working them against me and they did. 4 months later, in August 2014, Slocum hired an engineer on our tax dollars to create a smokescreed.. The engineer was given a tainted boundary map that showed the stream was not running through my private property. The engineer, Mandy Olver new fully that the stream was on my private property. But she designed 4 options, the 4th and cheapest was to keep sending the runoff to the stream. Seaview Terrace residents received a letter from Slocum, mentioning only 3 options and DID NOT include the tainted maps that showed the drainage paths for each option. I have email after email asking for that information, asking if Council would be voting, when this, when that, never a response. That will be another documented page.
Slocum was doing all he could to with hold information from and do illegal paving. To be continued...

Subject: Compassion 4 Corruption
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2014 11:03:42 -0400
Dear Minister Perkins and UU Treasurer/ Belfast City Council Roger Lee,
Once
again, I opened my heart and hopes with the Compassionate Cities
campaign. How do you do this Roger? You participated in even the most
recent corruption in the illegal City Hall tactics against the legal
paving of Seaview Terrace after you came to my home that very day. You
saw the Good Deeds boundary stake confirming the City made slaughter
stream is on my property even though the whole state of Maine has known
this for the 4+ years that I have been protesting and posting. You saw
those maps that were never given to Seaview Terrace residents at the
work shop that night were corrupt, showing the "stream" as not part of
my property. You knew I was not given these maps, advised of the City
Manager chosen Seaview Terrace residents for the "neighborhood meeting"
at City Hall regardless of repeated documented requests for information
to City Manager Joe Slocum.
If I didn't subscribe to the Republican Journal online, (where they have banned me from posting
http://boycottbelfast.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_26.html
) I would have never known of the corrupted boundary maps that were
given to the engineer to illegally send more water to me. Oddly, those
maps were not in the Republican Journal printed paper article on the
Seaview Terrace paving City Hall work shop meeting. One would think that
the reporter, Jordan Bailey would have at minimum, asked for my
comment.
All of City Council, Mayor, Manager, and Planner have
been a willing and participating destroyer of my life, children, safety,
rights, home and neighborhood since 2010 . Destroyer of neighborhood
and rights predating my arrival to Belfast in June 2010.
http://boycottbelfast.blogspot.com/2014/08/belfast-to-revisit-contentious-seaview.html
Here is a sermon for thought- Should Laurie Allen Wash the Feet of City Council with City Stream Slaughter Water?
With Peace,
Laurie Allen
(PS-
Since City Council Mike Hurley publicly broadcast at the 9/16 City
Council(blue link to meeting below- MUST WATCH) as a spammer and unethically denounces me again, I did not copy
him. Leader of the corruption pack.
Council Sanders,Mayor Ash, City
Manager Slocum, Council Hamilton, City Planner Marshall and Council Lee
take their corruption turns (even stating the map they gave to the
engineer is wrong and they knew it- Hamilton is even married to the
Planning Chairman- Paul Hamilton- unethical as hell)
Meeting link- I
brokenly speak at #6- open to the public for 5 minutues- timed by Hurley.
#7 Communications ff to 7:29.
http://belfastme.swagit.com/play/09162014-1334/#2
Ash is lying- I sent an email that night on Tuesday 9/2, after the work
shop asking when this "neighborhood meeting" was and where. No response
from Slocum the next day, 9/3. He held the meeting at 6pm on 9/3 and
NEVER notified me- the one that would be impacted. Here is my email of
proof.)

To All,
I checked with a few neighbors- we did not
receive any notification of any meeting for Seaview Terrace in City Hall
with Joe Slocum tomorrow. Slocum and Hurley are a danger to residents.
We didn't do this to Seaview, the City did. Hurley threatening us is
serious.
You are planning to send me MORE water and I will fight this until. It makes all of Seaview Terrace upset. How can you sleep?
Will Council be voting on the options, if so when?
Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

10/7/14 Belfast City Council Meeting. Click 6 open to the public- I am first up with another sign and 3 minutes to speak (rule made for my speaking only- others allowed unlimited depending if City Wall Hall kisser). Meeting continues without comments. Posted this one to show I still stand.

(end of email sent 10/26/14 to Minister Perkins and all cc'd)
*** below was attached to above email and resent to all.
Corrections- the banning from the Republican Journal page link is fixed.
And it was the 9/2/14 City Council Meeting where City Manager Joe
Slocum vaguely mentioned the meeting. Councilor Hurley stumbles and
threatens Seaview Terrace and I am there- I had already spoken and
thought I was being baited to speak out of order and be escorted out.
Then I went home and contacted 2 neighbors at 9 pm to confirm that they
did not know anything about a meeting on 9/3/14. The work shop meeting
was not taped but equally corrupt. In fact, Mandy Olver, (engineer) also
stated that she did do the watershed study and inspection of the CASS
completed storm system that I had been asking for the finds of for over 3
years. The City Planner Wayne Marshall had removed the conditions and
all drainage documents from that huge wetland turned into a school site
draining all the way down to my yard. City Manager Joe Slocum finally
stated in 12/2013 that the watershed study and engineer inspection was
NOT done. I have it in writing. Yet Mandy states it was done and no one
will give me those findings, Slocum recently stating he has already
given me my answer.
Excuse the length of this portion of my blog I copied for the 9/2 meeting- it is all pertinent and current.
9/8/14-The
proof of current slaughter to my private property and corruption just
filmed. This is why City Planner-Wayne Marshall, City Attorney- Bill
Kelly, City Manager- Joe Slocum, City Council and Mayor CORRUPTLY
through legal loopholes, suspended local ordinance in the 9/2/14 City
Council meeting. To do this illegal work to further slaughter my
neighborhood and my home. Calculating and evil- how could you do this
Councilor Roger Lee? You came to my home on 8/26/14, the day of the
secret work shop meeting on Seaview Terrace and gave me hope. I opened
my home to you even after all you have done to me. Flooding will be my
only way out, one way or the other. By your doing.
City Council Hurley stated in special workshop meeting for Seaview Terrace( where residents were not notified) he is "not interested in spending 135k to solve this."
City Council Mike Hurley in 9/2/14 City Council meeting communications portion (meeting link and summary below) to City Manager Joe Slocum. "If
you run into the kind of treatment that you're running into, I'd pull
the plug on it. Just say forget it. You guys don't want your road paved,
fine. I'm not gonna, ya know, we're not gonna like- I've really had it
on Seaview Terrace. People don't want their road paved, fine. I wish
they'd buy that road back. Let it be a private road, they can do what
the want."
Real Time Corrupt Illegal Slaughter Suspending Ordinance for City Work on Private Property 9/8/14- Mine.

The slaughter is underway- Belfast Public Works is out there right
now- digging to flood me more. I sent out this email at 9 am to Belfast
City Council, City Manager Joe Slocum, Mayor and Belfast Engineer Mandy
Olver. I copied UU Minster Perkins (who has been watching the corruption
and promoting a Compassionate Cities Charter with UU treasurer and
Belfast City Council Roger Lee) Governor LePage, EPA- Cyndy Mackey,
Attorney General Office-Brenda Kielty, Belfast Chief of Police- Mike
McFadden, JB Turner- President of Front Street Shipyard (we began at the
same meetings in 2011- he to transform the waterfront into glory, me
begging for a sewer to save Seaview. JB is flying and Seaview is dying)
and new media- Portland Press, Bangor Daily News, PenBay Pilot and
Republican Journal Village Soup.
City Council, Mayor,City Manager and Belfast Engineer Mandy Olver,
The Belfast Public Works Department is on Seaview Terrace this
morning, Monday, September 8. It appears you have chosen to send me more
water illegally and have spent more tax dollars to cover up this
corruption. Employing Olver Engineer, providing them will corrupt
boundary lines showing my private property drainage ditch, turned City
Hell storm ravine- is not my property. With this corrupt map and
superimposed corrupt boundary lines, Mandy Olver proposed illegal
draining and the City Manager set up the corruption. (
note
this blue explanation just added 10/26/14-This is the ridiculous
corrupt boundary map I copied from online Republican Journal article.
EVERYONE knows that stream runs through my property including Governor
LePage. My home is the 3rd lot up on the right side. Blue line is the
City made stream that runs through my property. I am the the last
resident on the street that owns. First 2 lots- David Smith and Frank
Costello do not. Mid-Coast Mental Health owns that section. Yet David
slams me every chance he gets and was notified of the meeting. David
harassed me so badly, the prior Chief of Police (Trafton) advised me to
get an order of protection against David. Sadly, I did. That was in
2010, I had just moved here.)
Waldo County Emergency Agency Director and Engineer, Dale Rowley
(very familiar with the area- his office a mile away) said my map is
good. So that is about as close as authentication as one can get. The
cost to fix this 50 year slaughter is not in their greedy visions. Force
the big flood, wipe out Seaview Terrace take it with little
compensation because it is worthless. Inverse Condemnation. I'm in their
way.
9 months after
non disclosure cash purchase,4/2011, wild rapids ripped my 2'x2' private
property drainage ditch into a 12'x4' ravine for 2 weeks. The yellow
tape is where the ditch was.I wasn't told I was in a flood zone A
either- water was my number one concern, written and verbal, again and
again. "No water issues with this property, all have been resolved."
Thugs, I live in terror after escaping terror. Since then, more has
caved in- the previous owners filled in, no doubt after the 2009 illegal
snow melt wipe out to Seaview Terrace.

9/2/14
Belfast City Council Meeting Click 6 open to the public. I am the
last speaker. From there it will go in to communications. City
Manager Joe Slocum speaks first and all his reasoning for crushing
Seaview Terrace was dismantled with everything I said below. Slocum
did not notify me or several other neighbors of this meeting he is
scamming for Seaview Terrace residents on 9/3/14.
What
would be the purpose of this- to further persuade my immediate
neighbors to approve the worst and cheapest option to send me their
remaining roadside water and all future rain/snow melt. Just as I
said below, pitting neighbors against each other while the City
denies basic mandated resident infrastructure paid for by our property
taxes.
After
Slocum speaks, get ready for City Council Michael Maniacal Hurley.
Threatening Seaview Terrace residents. It is unbelievable. No one else
addresses Seaview Terrace after Hurley. I have not watched the entire
meeting. I can only take a little at a time. JB
Turner, President of the Front Street Shipyard was there again.
Taking it all in for the 100th time. Come on JB- help us
out, we support you.
Below is what I said at open to the public.
“On
the agenda I see a rush of reading on the Comprehensive Plan and I am
alarmed at 'Current ordinance provisions for the above zoning
districts will be eliminated.' What does this mean and what is
the effect? Council has not voted the plan in, or had public notice.
Seaview
Terrace residents received a letter on Saturday 8/30/14 from City
Manager Joe Slocum stating the road will not receive it's
40
year overdue proper road
side drainage.
Insanely stating that
if
the City repairs one of the City
forced
disasters for residents, they will have to fix others. Neighbors
through out Belfast are suing each other for water run off because of
exactly this refusal from Belfast City Hall to provide mandatory
infrastructure 101.Residents
previously
with
dry
properties
become
flooded because of
planning and development.
City
Planner Wayne Marshall states “This is a significant neighbor to
neighbor issue.”
It
is a CITY issue but the City pits neighbors against each other
instead.
Councilor
Roger Lee said in the last meeting that there
is not any other
Belfast
private
property that
receives
the
enormous amount of City runoff like
Seaview Terrace.
Seaview Terrace cannot be compared to any others. This is an
emergency situation. As a flood plain flood zone it is your civic
duty to divert all runoff
away from
the road to City rights
aways and not to other residents.
Slocum's
letter is persuading the residents to ignore the illegal forcing of
ALL neighborhood drainage from above, across and even behind residents on the south side to my private property. Neighbors are
pumping their basements into the ditch and into these City culverts
and it is all forced to me. Flip the flow of water to any other
residents private property and they would be standing here right now
and I would be supporting them.
The
City must correct this. Real estate agent and prior owner of my home,
Puzz Caswell told me this in 2011, prior to the Seaview Terrace
street meeting that she attended in August 2011 with me and my
neighbors. Puzz stating that the flooding is worse than ever. Which
is why she probably sold in the 90's, who sold it to another, who
sold it to another, who sold it to me. Undisclosed hell. The buck
stops here.
City
Manager
Joe Slocum, saw first hand, the destruction on Seaview
Terrace with me in August 2011. He
said then the road was in need of repair from all the water
underneath,
cracking it and
heaving it. He has had 3
years he had to plan proper drainage with funding. Nothing done. I
offered resolution again and again through the TIF. Seaview
Terrace could have been included into the Northport Ave. TIF via the
new Annex. (Not said because of time restraints placed on me- is
repeated requests to Joe Slocum to put Seaview Terrace into a mitigation
plan. Also refused.)
Right
now there
is the 90k in that TIF
along with the
budgeted 45k that
would fix Seaview Terrace correctly. We have been servicing all these
business sites and highways, taking their runoff and melt-off into
the private properties of Seaview Terrace. TIF's
have been used to assist with business and
infrastructure. We
have been a free sewer
for miles of roads,
highway, business
storm water and snow
melt for
50 years.
AGAIN-
we are not a natural outlet, the City has no rights of ways or
easements. Even if we
were a natural outlet it is insane
slaughter to force all the impervious runoff up and down and across
town to us. Road side
sewer drainage is an absolute necessary. The roads may last for 50
years. A band aid pave job over
frost heaving culverts as stated by Mandy Olver, consulting engineer
is the worst option.
The City made this
disaster. The time is now to correct it.
There
is more water into
Seaview Terrace every year, more water under the roads.
17 years prior and 17 years future are not the same and is a
ridiculous formula to even mention.
As
a dead end street, a turn around is ordinance mandated. A resident
has stated that their private property is used by the City as a turn
around. Case in point- the City maintains that private
property section with
snow plowing. The
City dug the private property ditch @ 23 Seaview Terrace in 2009 to
send harboring water to me. The
City does do work on private property where there aren't
any easements or
right of ways.
The
3 culverts running under Seaview Terrace carry harboring water from
the south side to my private property on the north side.
The City is breaking
the law under Title 17 by sending harboring water to me. The City is
breaking the law under title 38 by the severe erosion to my property
from sending me the
harboring water. There
is harboring water roadside at several areas. Slocum's resolution is
to send it to me. Roadside
sewers would take all the water away from the road legally and remove
the culverts.
City
Manager Joe Slocum is not planning, providing or protecting residents
as mandated by
the Maine Municipal Alliance. This
constant denying and bullying is a
disgrace and
threatening our health and safety.
Seaview
Terrace did not spend the surplus, we did not get a say in how you
spent all of our property tax dollars. Bob Richards said in the
budget meetings that road repair was a least a million dollars
behind. Infrastructure
is denied to residents in the watershed.
Tonight
Joe Slocum is asking for permission to borrow 4.5 million just to
cover basic operating expenses. The
first time in 35 years that a loan is needed to keep City Hall open.
Regardless of the
split tax bill, that should have been covered by the surplus. The
school tax is out of this world and you talk of floating bonds for a
public works building, upgrading City buildings and City properties
like you're
buying toilet
paper. While
flushing the residents into a cesspool.
You can find the money
for option 1 for Seaview Terrace. Please do the right thing and save
Seaview Terrace."
This is the email I sent to my neighbors and the Wall before the 9/2/14 meeting.
Email below sent in response to a letter received today, 8/30/14 from City
Manager Joe Slocum attempting to place a bad band aid that will soon rip
off and leave us in disaster. Four years he had to plan to fix Seaview
Terrace and this is it. Slaughter us with more water illegally.
Sat 8/30/14 2:32 PM
Joe Slocum, Mandy Olver, City Council and Mayor,
I ask that my neighbors share this email with other residents ...xxxxxxx
Seaview
Terrace has taken enough slaughter. I would sign a petition if a
neighbor will draw one up for option 1 and present it to City Council at
the meeting 9/2/14.
Specific to title 17 is the harboring of water... deposited
or allowed to accumulate, in such manner or in such location or
situation either within or without the limits of any highway, as to be
unsightly, detracting from the natural scenery or injurious to the
comfort and happiness of individuals and the public, and injurious to
property rights, are public nuisances. [2005, c. 397,Pt. A, §11 (AMD).]
The
harboring of water as evidenced in these pictures at 22,18 and 17
Seaview Terrace would be injurious to property rights by ditching them
to drain to another's private property.
Your
letter does not provide a mapped plan for each option with specs. At
the work shop, Mandy Olver stated the ditch would be right next to the
road- there is little right of way to spare and not recommended. Hurley stated he is "not interested in spending 135k to solve this." The
road will be 18', shoulder and the ditch itself would be 2 feet wide
and 3 feet deep with no stabilization. These ditches will be unsightly
and dangerous. Soon they will erode and keep widening into our front
yards. Huntress Ave. is an example. Weather patterns are flooding hell.
The
City has used Seaview Terrace as a free, illegal storm water l outlet
for miles outside of Seaview Terrace for 50 years and counting. This has
swamped, endangers and devalues our property. The City has saved money
by also not paving Seaview Terrace in 17 years. We are a flood plain, flood zone and the City is ethically bound to divert all water instead it force channels all water.
In
the pictures below, you can see water is coming from behind the south
side- forced in from across Rte 1. There is a culvert running under Rte 1
into that area. Look at that amount being forced to my property after
only 1 inch of rain. Look at what is coming in illegally from the Annex
and Wight Street. Wise planning is to do it correctly, save our
properties and paving may not need to be done for 50 years. That is
saving money.
The
fact that City Manager Joe Slocum refused to plan and prepare for
proper drainage for the past 4 years, spending our property taxes on
City wants, while Seaview Terrace is drowning is criminal. My neighbors
are not concerned with my property and this has caused great discord by
the orchestration of City Hall.
I
do not want any ditching on my property and it is illegal to force
everyone's run off to me. One 4 inch rain will turn those ditches into a
disaster. The City will be long gone, properties further destroyed,
devaluing and devaluing.
Joe
Slocum has sat on this since April, now it is a rush to get done, with
poor information. If you are refusing to fix Seaview Terrace under
option 1, do not begin any work until all neighbors have received a
detailed plan of all ditches, size (width, depth) how they will be
banked, all water flow mapped paths to where, road turn around, mail box
placement, pavement width and depth for the entire road of Seaview
Terrace. The City cannot do this ditching because it is illegal.
What
is the Council's decision on which option. I checked the agenda for
this Tuesday's meeting, 9/2/14 and Seaview Terrace is not on. I would
think they have to vote on an option. When will that be?
I
do see a rush of reading on the Comprehensive Plan and am alarmed at
"Current provisions for the above zoning districts will be eliminated."
Why? Council has not voted the plan in, or had public notice.
Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

___________________________________________________________________________
8/27/14 Right now on the table is the paving and drainage of ONLY
Seaview Terrace. What is force-ably pouring into Seaview Terrace is
another matter and a huge expense to correct. Belfast City Hall history
does not give much hope that they will correct that slaughter. They may
use the overall Belfast investigation to trick us into the bait and
switch. Slocum is a lawyer, expert at rhetoric and creating doubt and
shifting blame. He just got caught with enormous corruption when
Mandy Olver said she did the reporting for the CASS conditions that
Slocum put in writing in 12/2013 was never done. I
requested another FOAA for those documents last week. No word yet- the
5th day for a mandatory reply is nearing. With that, I can even file a
slam dunk lawsuit. All the watershed residents can. Possibly many have
already. We need to know what is being spent to protect their
corruption. It can bankrupt Belfast and they scurry away. Hurley will
give another speech... Wow, I did not see that coming. Those guys really
were corrupt. Who knew? Laurie Allen was right. Well, I've been wrong
before and I'm sure I'll be wrong again. Don't you love me? I'm just a
dummy...wink and nod to the remaining minions.
This paving and minimal drainage of option 1 may be the only small
relief from the massive slaughter. It is all related, regardless of what
they spin. The pictures show the flooding, outside and coming inside
through private properties where neighbors get relief by sending it to
me by the City's hand.
The City has not rights of ways, no easements, no legal authority to
force any of this water into Seaview Terrace. We are a flood plain,
flood zone and their resolution is to send it to me. Let me sue my
neighbors or just float away.
I can't force neighbors, but it is a
chance to make Belfast right. Right for the future. Show our children
that adults will be the role model to stop the adult bullies. A bunch of
hypocrites, those telling kids to stop the bullies, and that taking no
action is enabling. Poor kids.
All of you white, blue and pink collar bullies are showing my kids first
hand, how to beat on their mother for standing up against corruption.
Stress kills. You are killing their mother. I cannot move. This is it.
Not even in 2 years with current circumstances. The only way out may be
the flood that will take us all out. I'll make sure to pay my flood
insurance out of my low income even though I don't hold a mortgage. We
will flood. Neighbors are in denial if they think the water won't hit
them.
These blogs are proof of private property slaughter and resident
abuse by Belfast City Hall. They violate zoning conditions, ordinances,
state law, ethics, with hold/deny existence of public
information/documents. I was sold undisclosed well known hell in 6/2010,
the City fabricating my property and some other neighbors, into a
"natural outlet". With this they force flood us to pending death and
deny it. I have spent the last 4 years exposing and proving their
corruption.
The lengths they have gone to in covering up are outrageous and
documented through out many blogs. They can't cover up water, and they
have never had anyone challenge them relentlessly for 4 years. Truth
prevails, no gray area here. Below is my property. A once 2x2 drainage
ditch for 9 months and then all hell broke loose and into hell I was
thrown. Thinking they could burn me quickly, they underestimated my
endurance. My other blogs go into detail if you are interested. This one
serves real time and how the businesses support City Hall and vise
versa, follow the money and diminish the undesirables. The grand visions
of greed. City Hall tells residents if your City mandated services are
repaired then other residents will want the same. Seriously, that is
their argument not to fix resident infrastructure. Director of Public
Works, Bob Richards said in the budget hearings 2014 that roads alone
are over 1 millions dollars in disrepair. In this upcoming City Council
meeting on 9/2/14, City Manager Joe Slocum has depleted funds. For the
first time in over 35 years, a loan for 4.5 million dollars is
requested. Split tax bills are the excuse. No,
Belfast is spiraling into the red. The spending on wants continues as
the needs of basic infrastructure and resident safety are denied.
Requests for hidden accounting spread sheets were met with no ceiling
fees for information that will never be given. Basic requests for for
public information and documents have been met with the same over these 4
years. Pure torture and enormous waste of time and tax dollars.
The the map I tracked and drew is from 2011 when City Hall refused to
give infrastructure/sewer/runoff information. the pink ribbon is my
property- all forced to me. I did not get all the paths nor all the
culverts, but this is disgusting enough. A resident counted 19 culverts
crossing under Congress St. The Public Works building is there. I am
told behind there is where the brook was/is? For my safety, I have not
gone there to investigate.
Miles and miles of impervious ground, Rte 1 N&S, over 15
developed BUSINESS sites outside of Seaview Terrace and all the
neighbors above and across and behind all to me. I am the last in the
path of water slaughter owning private property. The 500 ft. beyond into
the culvert at Northport Ave., belong to Mid-Coast Mental Health. A
small un-buildable srip of swamp, they do not care what happens to it.
I
was there for Annex hearings in 5/2011, site meetings did not approve
this path.
It was to come out behind David Smith's house into Midcoast
Mental Health property. They knew it was more than Annex runoff, they
did not tell. One planning board member(Russ Berber?-did point to my
house as I was standing there, and said to Chairman Roger Pickering, how
would you like to own that property and laughed. Pickering shook his
head. I was dead in the water right there and have been flailing 911
since. Save Seaview.
And
like Putin- the past 4 years of volumes of corruption with City Council
taking the 5th and Mayor Ash taking to the gavel and police use... this
recent "concern" is most likely another tactic. It will confuse the
public into thinking, OK, now they are trying. Lets give them the
benefit of the doubt. No more- immediate action required.
Four
years of trying to silence me and destroy Seaview Terrace and public
documents and Council Lee motions to give City Manager Slocum a contract
for 2 more years and voted through. Never a reprimand for all the lies?
No, I don't think they plan on doing a damn thing. Smokescreen,
spending more tax dollars in engineers to report repairs that the City
Manager will say "We don't have the money. But I have updates on the new
public works building site, upgrading City Hall buildings and
properties, applying for more grants and establishing more committee's
for wants... so sorry you're all flooding and your properties are
swamped and worthless. Put it up for sale, we won't tell.
Below
is a summary, repeated through out my many blogs but written here to
throw myself out to the mercy of the public to help. The calculating
cruelty for the past 4 years is shattering. Understanding how this is
allowed by the public, when it is happening to many in City Halls way,
tells me Belfast has a long history in conditioning the public to
believe they cannot challenge City Hall. Some not wanting to believe the
corruption. Time is wasting. Looking away is enabling. And following
the leader is herd mentality. "Herd mentality, or mob mentality, describes how people are influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors, follow trends, and/or purchase items."
I
have cited other residents and neighborhoods destroyed by City Hall.
Those that fight back through lawyers are soon broke. Or sue their
neighbor instead. Some thinking it will not happen to them if they allow
City Hall to destroy other people's lives and properties. City Council
did NOT take any action to save Cedar Street when the neighborhood came
out in force.
I
am the resident speaking. I am the only resident receiving the most
illegal runoff, tearing away my private property. I am providing hard
proof through all the illegal with holding of public information.
What they have done to me and Seaview Terrace is one of the biggest crimes in their portfolio.
For
4 years City Hall, real estate agents, some businesses, some residents,
have tried to break me and disgrace me. Painting me as a neurotic,
paranoid vigilante. Per City Attorney Bill Kelly in one of his many
unethical, alienating letters "this has become a form of sport for
Laurie Allen"... When the safety and stability of my family depended on
staying under all radar, healing and getting on our feet. They counted
on me to stay quiet. I did try, after 9 months of pure torture, I had no
other choices.
Our
lives were and are on the line. Negotiating with local and family
terrorists... I don't think so. Anyone destroying and endangering life
with calculated ruthlessness is a terrorist to this Mom. If it were just
me, it'd be a totally different ball game. I'd be even more of a
problem for the corrupt. There is no other way once you choose truth.
The
real estate agents had my traumatic family dossier and they in
conjunction with Belfast City Hall deceive the innocent into hell. Early
on, my goal was to get the real estate agents to hold City Hall
accountable and fix these secret hells instead of passing it on to
another. The agents united stronger with City Hall. Maine is 4th in
corruption, it is in every safety agency that is bound to protect the
citizen. I have alerted them all, again and again- Attorney General,
DEP, EPA, Governor, Realtor Commission, Senators..the trickle down to
local- government, schools, businesses, and some tainted public. It is a
mirror to the dysfunction and corruption in Congress, so massive, it
seems hopeless.
Belfast
is not hopeless and the only way I have been able to survive this abuse
is knowing how important this is for every citizen. I've been the
punching bag, forced to expose my personal life that they were using to
paint me as unstable. My family has been loud in this area since 1969.
They know and knew and continue to use. I put it out there, hoping for
outrage and action, so many preaching community and caring. This is it.
It is so much bigger than Seaview Terrace. Seaview Terrace is the
footprint to accountability. One solid step against corruption and
forcing City Hall into transparency and ethics.
Loop
hole ordinances do not protect any resident. I have proven that 100
fold. These new ones coming in are sure to hurt the weak. Residents only
chance will be to support each other through unification and hold City
Hall accountable. As it is lawfully to be, but as Restorative Justice
President, Jay Davis told me as I protested the corruption years ago in
the center of town- This is not how we do things around here- City
Council Mike Hurley runs Belfast. Hurley has been conditioning the
downtown as his since he came here in 1985? He has brought in the wall
of corruption in key positions, some of the same madness, some victim by
implication. This is spot on. Feigning caring but if your assets are
not part of the greed vision- you are deemed undesirable and denied
rights and protection.
Seaview
Terrace is the proof. No question. This is spot on Hurley and his
followers. The public and the committee members duped can fix it now.
See and stop the corruption. His network a powerhouse that is beginning
to crumble- They overspent and continue. They are ready to float bonds
to spend more as residents pay and pay. The basic services of
infrastructure are denied.
There are a few things we take for granted in social interactions with
people. We presume that we see the world in roughly the same way, that
we all know certain basic facts, that words mean the same things to you
as they do to me. And we assume that we have pretty similar ideas of
right and wrong.
But for a small – but not that small – subset of the population, things
are very different. These people lack remorse and empathy and feel
emotion only shallowly. In extreme cases, they might not care whether
you live or die. These people are called psychopaths. Some of them are
violent criminals, murderers. But by no means all.
Professor Robert Hare is a criminal psychologist, and the creator of the
PCL-R, a psychological assessment used to determine whether someone is a
psychopath. For decades, he has studied people with psychopathy, and
worked with them, in prisons and elsewhere. “It stuns me, as much as it
did when I started 40 years ago, that it is possible to have people who
are so emotionally disconnected that they can function as if other
people are objects to be manipulated and destroyed without any concern,”
he says. ...
see www.michaelmaniacal.blogspot.com
for more. More to post- can't keep up. The work shop was prime, his
postings are prime, he spoke against a meeting with Seaview Terrace
residents to discuss the road because "Laurie Allen will dominate the
meeting just like she has for 4 years." It is the truth the dominates,
the true threat.
Belfast
City Hall slamming back with lie after lie regardless of visible proof
of their doing, their forcing, their destruction to private properties
is proven. 4 years they have refused to resolve and repair, and are
still throwing me to the wolves as they are forced to make some repairs
since they failed at an illegal attempt to rezone Seaview Terrace to a
parking lot R3. The Comprehensive Plan will be voted in with more hidden
undesirable resident elimination.
I
was protesting the illegal rezoning attempt to Seaview
Terrace immediately. The treatment by some of my neighbors during this
assault has severed those relationships. A few quick back stabs. Erin
never apologized to me and we live right across the street from each
other.

My
private property drainage ditch at purchase in 6/2010, it looked like
the drainage ditches on the sides of my house.
2 ft wide,2 ft deep grass
swales. Belfast Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Agents, Bill
Ingersoll and Jan Andrews knowingly did not disclose the stream, knowing
I refused other properties with ANY water issues
and definitely streams/brooks/running water, refused in written emails.
As
Seaview Terrace was manipulated to be the best purchase- with NO WATER
ISSUES OR STREAMS/BROOKS/RUNNING WATER, I honed in with question after
question of any problems- why on the market for so long, why are 2 other
homes for sale, is there future development coming, is Rte 1 a problem,
is there ANYTHING that would make me sad for buying this home-
response- RESOUNDING NO. This is the best value and sellers just dropped
another 10k you better jump now, there is great activity.
That
was in 3/2010, I had drove up from NJ 3 months prior and saw this
property. A fresh 2" snow at showing, blanketed the yard, where it was
grass and 50 degrees the day before. I had done a drive by. Ok then,
lets go. I need to have a safe home for the contested relocation
procedures in Court. It is a difficult procedure, rarely awarded. No
room for any mistakes or any danger. This was my chance to begin again
in the safety of City lines and the services provided. The agents knew
this, we had been working closely since September 2009.
In
4/2010, DJ Brown Property Inspection, under the supervision of Sam
Mitchell, another Better Homes & Gardens agent, corrupted the
report. Nothing reported on the ditch that certainly was draining with
spring melt. All agents since have jumped on the lying band wagon,
including my City Council rep, real estate agent, Mary Mortier.
The
personal issues are heart breaking. First and foremost, I am a mom and I
will do whatever is necessary to protect my children as the corrupt
continue to use them to stop me from exposing corruption. No boundaries.
I do the best I can. It is their business, residents and citizens in
the way of their greed become an undesirable casualty.
9/4/14- I put this down the ladder as an FYI. The article is one
sided- the corrupt side. Poor reporting. Not worth posting to take up
the space. It's the SOS except this time they altered maps to taint the
public against me. The local paper Republican Journal Village Soup reported Seaview Terrace falsely on 9/3/14. Seaview
Terrace aerial view with boundaries super-imposed, are false and
reporting is biased- citing City Attorney false findings that have
nothing to do with the paving and sending me more harboring water from
neighbors. . My private property drainage ditch is now the City forced
stream and this picture does not show the stream running through my
property. My property is the the last parcel of this hell that is
resident private property. Neighbors 2 houses down do not own "stream"
property- it is owned my MidCoast Mental Health. Jordan Bailey,
reporter- did not ask me for comment- I was there- she has never spoke
to me- but she speaks for me in the article. This paper is a Belfast
City Hall sympathizer. The reporting is not investigative and is more
rhetoric direct from the mouths of the corrupt, City Manager Joe Slocum
and City Attorney Bill Kelly. A waste of ink and flesh. A pity and big
part of keeping the public non-informed.
On Memorial Day, At the sacred ceremony at the
Grove Cemetery, I was underway filming the ceremony. Graves in front of
me, my view was unhampered. Mid filming- Jordan Bailey walked across the
graves to stand and stay right in front of me. I stopped filming,
hoping she would take her shot and move away and I could film. No, she
choose to violate this day I hold so dear. I could not move, bystanders
surrounded me, we were respectfully on the path, not on grave sites.
She had a telescopic lens, could have shot anywhere. Those shots she
took were not even used. The paper defended Jordan, saying it is her
right to obstruct even though the entire cemetery offered her many
places to stand. Here is where I started filming again after she ruined
the first. 
100_0073.MP4
Shorty after, the paper banned my online rights to comment. Jerks.
7/1/14 Belfast City Council Meeting- http://belfastme.swagit.com/play/07012014-1270/#2 Click 6 open to the public- I'm 3rd speaker (ff 4minutes40seconds).
Click 7 for communications ff 1minute44seconds- See Slocum lie again
"never had any plans to pave Seaview Terrace until next fall"
(4/1/14 City Council Meeting- click 7 ff to 9:36 and 12:44, Slocum states TWO times- paving Seaview Terrace this spring/fall http://belfastme.swagit.com/play/04012014-1068/#2 ) This
meeting is shocking. I come back and am not messing around in the
second open to public. They must have been wetting themselves when I
came up to their thrones. Click 6 for open to the public, they speak
about me in communications (7) I'm back- click on 11 and into
communications again. Hurley tries to dominate me. Not.
They rip into
me. Watch it all, my neighbor joins in too. This one they have
choreographed a mess with manipulations and with holding simple public
documents. Forcing me to re request and re request for the same
documents. Never to get them and Council refusing to validate validity
of documents. This mess here is a simple request for 7 zoning conditions
for snow removal at 7 sites. 51 copies Slocum says- files, maps- What
The... No I've been down this rabbit hole too many times. Hand me the
documents- Slocum refuses because they are not there. I'm home watching
as they attack me. I come back for the second open to the public,
click on #11- I am on rapid fire with fact after fact- then listen to
Hurley- "if we want to put it on the agenda- we put
Seaview Terrace on...and then he fades. At that meeting on 1/4/12- the
City Attorney Bill Kelly spoke for City Council and ran out when I
questioned him. City Council immediately voted "no further
action". Bang, bang. Listen to Slocum go back to his mess again, and
defending that there was a stream there before the developer bought it
and moved it. Hogwash. It was a ditch and he moved the ditch. For kicks
and giggles- let's imagine it was a stream. Once it's moved it is not
natural. Ergo not at NATURAL outlet.)
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.
Back to 7/1/14 meeting- Hurley
takes liberty to slam me again and again, no difference here. He says I
have dominated for 4 years. Preferring this to court where he has carte
blanche City Attorney and tax payer dollars to break me. They want me
to take me out financially in court. A friend told me of another similar
flooding to a wealthy woman in Bar Harbor/MDI. She was into 10 million
in legal fees 4 years ago. Evil officials/ Hurley comparing his property
on top of Belfast (HIGH St. to the basin of their cesspool- Seaview
Terrace. Neighbors liking this nightmare do not own "stream" property
and are clueless to the drowning. Turn on the news. We're dead. City
Manager Slocum, Council Mike Hurley and Roger Lee go back to denial and
entitlement drowning.
Later in communications- it turns to the
school officials dysfunction- just like Belfast City Hall. The students
suffer, the residents suffer/ Hurley refers to the very same corruption
tactics he and City Hall use in committee's and delays. Oblivious to the
irony. Simple madness.
Look at the map I drew, nothing natural about their forced calculated slaughter.
Here is a picture of water forced into the top of Seaview Terrace - even coming from ACROSS Route 1 via culverts (3 or 4 more too)
Double NEW culverts (Per Tax Assessor Bob Whiteley- they were not there prior to 2007) to send to Seaview Terrace from Wight Street @ Roger Pickerings house- Chairman of the Planning Board. Coming from the illegal drainage of the huge wetland site built over Captain Albert Stevens School 2007.
Captain Albert Stevens School Illegal outlet at bottom end of fenced area- bypassing approved engineered outlook at the HIGHER section of fenced area by access road.
As well as lower fields with culverts taking that runoff away and under School Street to the watershed residents- my property the final private property over and over a mile away from here. Plus the site is illegally allowed to stock pile plow-able snow all season that will melt to us along with 12+ other sites. Wiping us out in spring melt 2009 and 2011. City Manager refuses to provide zoning conditions stating snow is to be removed off site. But, I got Police Chief McFadden to confirm- he saw the zoning conditions for CASS and sent me an email stating so. City Manager, Joe Slocum threw the Chief under the bus, stating CASS is following the SCHOOL maintenance plan for snow. Right, school plan over rides City Zoning Conditions.

Laurie,
I
did some research, first the Zoning Conditions of Approval document
indicates that the CASS school is responsible for snow removal. Any
potential violations of this document would be a zoning issue handled by
the board or by the code enforcement office. We as Police would have no
authority over this issue unless a state law or local ordinance was
violated. There are no state laws or ordinances enforceable by the
Police Department which would prohibit the school from removing snow
from the parking lots or events/sporting fields in the manner in which
they are currently doing it.
Hope this helps,
Mike.

Laurie,
I
read through the emails you sent me, but to tell you the truth I
haven’t identified anything the Police would or should become involved
in. That being said I want you to feel comfortable calling on us if
someone/something is causing you to become afraid. I wish you nothing
but good luck with your efforts, I said that to you when we met and I
mean it.
As
for me being mislead about you. I really hope I didn’t project that to
you. My impression of you really only got better after we spoke, but it
didn’t change. My impression of you was that you are a fighter (Not a
bad thing) and you’re not afraid to stand up for what you think is
right. (again not a bad thing) I met you and I found you to be genuine
and believable, and I enjoyed our conversation. I understood your
frustrations with the City, and I even felt comfortable enough speaking
with you to tell you about something I didn’t particularly care for.
(Your comment about the Police Officer at the City Council meeting).
Something I wouldn’t have done if I thought you were a hot head or
argumentative. Believe it or not our conversation that day was one of
the highpoints of the day for me. Thank you for coming in to talk with
me.
Viewing
of the Super Bowl will take place in the Rec Room at my home this year.
This is serious business the Giants must be beaten.
Any fan of the Patriots is a friend of mine!!!

Dear Chief McFadden,
I will
not be involving you (unless I am afraid) in the rest of this City
Saga. I think it is appropriate to forward this last email (and I
will give you all of them if you wish) because it is clear that since
May I can't get a straight answer from City Officials on the most
basic storm water requests.
I may be wrong, but I got the
impression that you were mislead about my character and integrity. I am
beginning to prevail having held on through the storm. I found you to be
impressive and fair. I hope we maintain mutual respect and celebrate
the fun of no brakes! Superbowl in the garage?? Toast one for me and

10/11/14 Michael Moore- are you out there? Did you read my facebook post on your site for your next doccorruption??
"www.boycottbelfast.blogspot.com
single Mom takes on corrupt City Hall Belfast Maine and players- local
to state level solo. 4 years holding strong against police/freedom of
speech/intimidation/freedom of information/ you name it...all after
winning relocation from abusive marriage from NJ corrupt family court
with crashing kids. One step away from destitution, I made it out, to
begin again in safety and privacy. Only to be sold undisclosed hell and
into saving my neighborhood from the State of Maine, 4th in corruption.
Over 60 City Hall public speaking meetings, real time corruption,
protesting, posting, blogging, banned from posting in
papers...overwhelming history of standing up again and again. Sure could
use a spotlight. It can begin in Belfast Maine, I just need some
support. So many cowards."
Michael- I copied and pasted a bit of mini-Putin tactics for an appetizer. In these 4 years they have used smoke trails as deterrents. Baiting me and forcing me to post repetitive requests for the same information. My first public meetings and you tube video of slaughter to my private property(http://boycottbelfast.blogspot.com/p/18-city-council-meetings.html) in November and December 2011 are long ones. Over 20 minutes each. I was a mess but standing. Below with the 3 meetings, up to the definition of facism is repeated in the blog. The first 2 meetings require fast forwarding to the open to the public speaking and communications. The 3rd meeting has the new format to click to each agenda speaking. The 3rd meeting, I scare myself as I speak in the 2nd round.
Belfast City Councilor Mike Hurley promotes forced water slaughter to
residents private property. Fabricating a mythical stream as a sound
reason to drown and destroy, the flood plain, flood zone of Seaview
Terrace on all 3 sides. City Council, Mayor, City Manager and City
Planner support slaughter. Here's Johnny- Belfast is his stage, Seaview
Terrace his reality victim unable to escape out the bathroom window.
Below
is the local ordinance that City Hall uses as a reason to slaughter us.
Hiding all documents that prove there is not a "natural outlet" running
through our private property. Sick officials. I prevailed and nailed
the original development plans. A ditch ran through here- probably dug
in the early 60's to take the runoff off from the newly constructed
Route 1 bypass. Before that, Seaview Terrace was an apple orchard.Sec. 62-192. - Permitted discharge of unpolluted water.
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.
It
would be sick enough if there was a private property stream running
through that they chose to use instead of building infrastructure. So
this is insanity by the mass- #1 is City Planner Wayne Marshall,
characterless, cold and calculating. #2 a toss up between City Council
Mike Hurley ,City Manager Joe Slocum, and City Attorney Bill Kelly.
Code/Zoning Todd Rosenburg takes the next slot. Route 1 north and south
highway nasty runoff, more roads, roofs, parking lots, totally polluted
and coursing through our properties and into our beautiful bay-
untreated. Super fund sick.
1.
This is the meeting where City Attorney Bill Kelly spoke for Council
and unveiled a with held public document specific to my property. I had
requested the full history and development of Seaview Terrace in 10
months prior resulting in rhetoric. (all meetings and summaries below
are copied from my blog)

City Hall Meeting- Seaview Terrace 1rst on agenda (I also speak
publicly ff about 15 minutes in- 3rd person up. Soon after City Attorney, Bill Kelly (white collar bully to step up to podium) uncharacteristically is brought in to speak for City Council . I am a new resident and not aware of the sand bag tactics.
Council remains silent
and hires City Attorney, Bill Kelly with our tax dollars to try and
deflect the forced flooding. KELLY REVEALS YET ANOTHER PUBLIC DOCUMENT
OF FLOODING ON SEAVIEW PURPOSELY WITHHELD FROM ME.(Who knows what else
they hide? Impossible to know, I have been intimidated and refused
information on my property for 10 months and counting. ) A 1987 City
hired engineer report that...SURPRISE- does not hold the City
accountable for flooding. In fact, even with residents complaints of
flooding in 1987, begins the City Planning approvals for Capt Albert
Stevens School, Volunteers of America, Tall Pines, MidCoast Mental
Health to build, eliminating ground absorption, accumulating storm water
in huge dug out pools and channel down to private property, Seaview
Terrace. Clobber us further by taking the storm water across Rte 1 from
the Armory, National Guard, down to Pray's Homes along the side, back
towards the trailer park, meandering and to accumulate more stormwater
from who knows how far back and back across Rte 1, culvert forced
directly into Seaview Terrace. The engineer does confirm that my
property is not a natural outlet, it is a private property drainage
ditch put in by the developer.
I am blind sided and try to question Bill Kelly. He runs from the meeting and City Council immediately shuts down the agenda by voting "No Further Action". WT*.. wrong. 3 years later- I'm still in action.
2.
For the record, Dale Rowley, engineer and Director of Emergency
Management of Waldo County (EMA) told me the map I tracked and drew of
forced runoff (and I am sure I missed some) is good. He told me this at
the 3/6/12 City Council meeting.
A MUST WATCH- THEY GET ANGRY WHEN I TRY TO RESPOND- I'M CALM AND THEY BE MAD!
Waldo
EMA-Plans for Disaster-on agenda- I speak to save Seaview @20:10 @25:50
Mayor Ash tries to tell me not to come back anymore- get a lawyer- not a
chance. I give it back- he tries to anger me.. Dale speaks @51:46 w/
overview- Council does not address Seaview Terrace, talk of
Irene-flooding other states- unbelievable yet again.
3/6/12 Belfast City Council Meeting

City Manager Joe Slocum refused to plan proper infrastructure. Almost 4
years of enormous wasted tax dollars in this cover up. Placing a band
aid on this pending death of Seaview Terrace is ruthless.
This
2/18/14 City Council Meeting was the vote to amend the Northport Ave
TIF to allow it's funds to be used for downtown infrastructure. I
pleaded for 3 years to get Seaview Terrace into the TIF through the new
Annex building. TIF's open up funding and grants for infrastructure.
This was the hammer. They knew I was coming to speak for the public
hearing comment portion. Any legal changes require public hearings and
public comment proponents/opponents. Public Hearing and Comments ALWAYS
precede the actual meeting call to order. It is a legality- posted in
the paper and mandatory, no deviation of procedure.
Except
this time. City Manager Joe Slocum has the economic director send me an
email clearly to bait me into missing my chance for public comment. I
had no doubt that was the plan.
Ms.
Allen – I wanted to bring to your attention that the public hearing for
the Northport TIF has been moved from immediately preceding tonight’s
Council meeting, to the actual business agenda for tonight’s meeting, as
item E-1. Agenda is attached. I am not sure exactly what time that we
will get to it on tonight’s agenda, as it will depend on how quickly
preceding agenda items go.
Thomas Kittredge
I
knew better. I got there early. Sure enough, the paper agenda given to
public at the meeting did not have the Northport Ave TIF Public Hearing
listed, yet when the administrative assistant Manda Cushing read the
hearings, her copy had the TIF as the 4th public hearing PRECEDING the
meeting.
Watch as I go to the podium confused and City Manager Joe
Slocum jumps in to say there will be 2 public hearings for the TIF.
Bull. Had I not been there, he could have made that change when the
meeting came to order during adoption of the agenda. He would have
played stupid, saying there was some confusion, the public hearing for
the TIF listed as item E-1 was wrong. Public Hearings are by law held
prior, which they did, please strike E1 - public comment from the
agenda. I would have protested and got escorted out by Officer Ward.
When the meeting begins to play- 1
minute later is when Manda reads the Northport TIF Public Hearing- and I
am there and speak for 2 minutes. Then click 10E- The E.D. spends 7
minutes explaining the theft and I get up again at 7:40. Whoa, It's
powerful. Mayor Ash attempts to intimidate me again. . They continue as
if I never spoke. They
all vote to rob the TIF and nail the coffin shut on Seaview Terrace.
I'm still kicking and will until.

10/7-14 I am not computer savvy and struggle to post over these 4 years. Copy and pasting causes big problems, margins, deleting, it is a nightmare for me. The post below is a major problem and I don't know why. Each time I try to edit or add, it morphs disaster after disaster. Why do I continue to be the talking punching bag? Because this is where it begins. Exposing includes exposing my life. I beat them all to that punch. That makes many uncomfortable. It's all on the table, I have nothing to hide. I am true, nothing more, nothing less. Corruption is epic, clean up begins with community. Lets go already.
Belfast City Council Mike Hurley is and has been "on fire" burning resident after resident with his implicated web network for over 25 years. City Hall insanely ordering not to provide basic tax dollar infrastructure to residents. Stating if they fix one, they will have to fix all, so they fix none. Let it self destruct as the build their visions, build City Hall dominance, wiping out funds. For the first time, per City Manager Joe Slocum, the City needs to take out a 4 million dollar note to cover immediate operating expenses. DPW Director Bob Richards stating basic road maintenance is over 1 million in disrepair. Council refusing to hold City Hall Planner and Manager accountable. Meekly asking where funds have gone, why projects are riddled with issues and met with rhetoric of corruption. Here we are. Schools and City Hall broke and broken. House of Cards with residents watching the fall. The first step up has been laid out for 4 years and welcomes all, especially the guilty. Fixing forgives.
(I wanted to post the links to the awards to resident abuser City Manager Joe Slocum and missing fundraising funds Troy Howard Middle School Principal Kim Buckheit in post below when referenced but couldn't. So, I'll put those links here (Village Soup Article for Slocum is posted in entirety in above tab SLOCUM CITIZEN ABUSER
Slocum received this award almost 2 years after I went public with corruption. Protesting in town, trying to get business support and residents support them. Hello- total slap in my face by the Commerce. Note the comment of MY then Council below, Marina Delune. See www.belfastliars.blogspot.com to see her sending me down the hole. Wiping her hands after a year of torture and calling me in as a threat to the Chief of Police, stating I should pray and meditate for resolution. Not kidding. Go read her emails. She also tells me that it is a rite of passage to be abused by City Council Mike Hurley. )
