I have actual 1099s from the Town of Stratford. However, the Board of Education only has given me PRINT OUTS of Line Items Claim of payment. They claim they send NO YEAR END DOCUMENTATION to Berchem, Moses, and Devlin, or the I.R.S. or to CT. Revenue Services, since B. M. D. is a Corporation. Huh? 4 years ago, I was told by someone in position to known that the Stratford Board of Education was paying $ 180,000 a year. In 2006 the CT. POST ran a story about Milford Board of Education paying $ 180,000 a year. So which is true? Board Ed rumors or printouts? Would a law firm reinvest by donations or steered business to the prime candidates for elected office, who are in position to grant: * Paid & unpaid Appointments * Set Fees * Hire * Promote * Bid specs * Bid Awards * Contracts * Change Orders * Approve Planning * Approve Zoning * CONTROL Town Information What happened to Stratford Economic Development, TAX BASE, & YOUR TAXES in Stratford and surrounding towns, during these years. Compare which of the client list has GAINED &/or LOST? Why continue to retain companies who represent COMPETITION to Stratford's Economic Development, Personnel, and Costs? A couple of years ago, the Los Angelos Police force was ruled to have violated the R .I. C. O. Statutes. Can Racketeering, Influence, Corruption, Organization: apply anywhere in CT. Politics? |
