Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Mr. Mooney, please forward to Mr. Flynn. I will also fax it to 617-727-5732. June 30, 2004 Flynn Secretary, Dept. of Public Safety One Ashburton Place Boston, MA. 02018 Dear Mr. Secretary, As you can see by the following letters, I have been telling your predecessors of the many troubling issues of and some of his staff. In my many communications to DPS, I have cited the many failures of and DPS staff to enforce the Laws of the Commonwealth. The DPS records show the many Public Record documents I provided. These many documented and reported failures have caused injuries to many Massachusetts families, including mine. In many cases, such as ours, these failures and abuses have left families homeless. The failures and abuses have also damaged the health of family’s such as in our case. I not only hold your entire Department responsible for their collective failure to do anything to hold Mr. responsible for his many acts and derelictions, I also hold all Governors, since Weld, AG’s, since Harshbarger, all IG’s since 1996 and the entire Legislature just as responsible. You see, the Public Record shows that I have reported these acts and derelictions to all of those mentioned and to many more including the FBI and US Attorney General. I acted as the first Whistleblower. Sadly for every family in Massachusetts, everybody closed their eyes and ears to the failures and dereliction of Mr. . Each and every one of you is responsible for what Mr. did or failed to do. You all allowed him to get away with it for so too long. What the Globe and other media have yet to report about Mr. is how he, and DPS staff, protected incompetent and unlicensed builders and government inspectors that they were suppose to regulate. They let these incompetent and corrupt builders and officials prey upon an unsuspecting public, the citizens of Massachusetts. As I’m sure you are aware, Mr. , and others to include current DPS Inspector Wojciechowicz, was deemed as being unqualified to be a building inspector when he held that position in the City of Boston. In spite of this documented knowledge, Governor Weld appointed him to the State. This would mean that any project that Mr. , or any of the others mentioned in the State memo, was involved in must be re-inspected according to the Law. I estimate that the cost of the homes that the incompetent and illegal builders and inspectors, that Mr. protected, constructed and approved would far exceed 250 million dollars. When you add on all of the other areas that Mr. is alleged to have failed or refused to do his job of protecting the citizens of Massachusetts, we are probably looking at a price tag in the billions. When you consider that State and Federally licensed Banks require that home or commercial construction must be inspected by government inspectors and meet certain standards, how many cases may the State now also face of State and Federal bank fraud as a result of the failures of Mr. and others in DPS and that he regulated? What is also sad is that many banks hired local and state inspectors to be the banks inspectors as well. We, the citizens, were blindsided. You must also consider the issue of vast Consumer fraud in these same cases. When construction is performed, inspections must take place and a Certificate of Occupancy must be given to secure bank loans, The COO is the Governments legal and binding assurance that construction meets or exceeds all standards, laws and codes. It seems that the State not only may have to make restitution to banks but also to the thousands of homeowners and businesses that were effected by the failures of those at DPS. What about banks and/or businesses that might have failed because of these bad loans? When you take the cost, perhaps a few billion dollars, and add on Court and Legal fees we are discussing some “serious†money! Mr. and the failures of DPS and others is not an issue that is going to disappear. For those families, like mine, that lost everything due to the many documented failures, we cannot afford to just walk away and forget and forgive. You, the State, were suppose to be protecting the citizens and you all failed miserably. My family lost, in just monetary terms, over 750 thousand dollars. What price tag do you consider when you add on the terror, insults, anguish, destroyed health, broken promises, lost dreams and memories? Who do we see for that? Who will come forward and apologize? Who will compensate us for what was taken from us? Yours Truly, Ken Moulton 2804 SW J Ave. #36 Lawton, OK 73505 580-581-1657 E-mail: _kenhmoulton@..._ (mailto:kenhmoulton@...) CC: Governor Romney AG Reilly Massachusetts Secretary of State Raphael , Boston Globe June 19, 2000 Jane Perlov Secretary, Dept. of Public Safety One Ashburton Place Boston, MA. 02018 Dear Secretary Perlov; Since 1995, I have been writing to the Commissioner and Secretary of Public Safety. My complaints, which your agency has failed or refused to investigate, have dealt with illegal and unsafe home construction allowed by municipal governments. Some of the issues I raised are considered to be of a criminal nature. Today, my Wife, Virginia, called your office in response to the failure of to return her call of last Thursday. Governor Cellucci’s office told her to call Mr. last Thursday and gave her his phone number. A few moments after Virginia called your office, Mr. called. It seems that he does not know how to obey or enforce the law. It also appears that he has a dirty mind when speaking to a Lady, my Wife! While Virginia was trying to explain about the illegal and unsafe conditions of our home that he saw in 1993, he was making a sexually orientated remark about knowing what my Wife wanted. She told him to get his mind out of the gutter! He now states that he we only had a few minor problems with our home in 1993. That seems to differ from what he said then about the home being unsafe, should be condemned, the unsigned building permit was the smoking gun and we can ’t sell our home because it has a fraudulent certificate of occupancy issued by the town. Of course if he had obeyed the law, done his job and not been trying to cover-up for his corrupt regional inspector and the corrupt local municipal inspectors he would have written a report. His current statements also differ from his comments that the private SEM report and the Philbrook report were completely correct. The Philbrook report listed at least six conditions that could kill us. In my many communications, I made the following comment and request, “In your review or investigation of this matter, I would request that you use somebody outside of your building inspectors division. We went to them when we first learned of the construction problems. To say they were less than adequate and professional would be an understatement.†Has any investigation taken place as I had requested? If so, who did the investigation and would you please provide with a copy of the findings, under the Freedom of Information? If none was done, WHY NOT? I also made the following request under the Freedom of Information, “If you can dig up a report of the December 1993 inspection of the property at 38 Hawser Bend Centerville, Ma. that was done by Mr. , your state building inspector, and his team, I would like a copy of it under the Freedom of Information.†As your General Council recently stated, there is no report from the December 1993 inspection that Mr. and his team performed at our home because he never wrote one. In my communications, I also made the following comments,†As you can see by the 3 documents to members of your staff, that requested copies of investigative home inspection reports, by the Attorney Generals office, the requests were ignored. The ignoring of these requests might, I believe, demonstrate the lengths some members of your staff might have taken to conceal illegal construction throughout the state.†In my communications I also made the following comments, “For your review, I have enclosed copies of documents that your state building inspector, Mr. was given some 5 years ago. These documents include a SEM home inspection report, a building inspection report by Philbrook engineering, a letter from the town building inspector stating a contractor, doing a state contract, had failed to obtain the legally required building permit, our letter asking the town building commissioner to take action for this violation and the unsigned building permit on the property with the certificate of occupancy that was, I believe, fraudulently issued by the Town. I have also enclosed a copy (see highlighted areas) of the police report that states the local building inspector admits to not signing the building permit, the building inspector states he remembered building code violations with the home, the fact that these violations were probably known to the three people (Hale, Cattaneo and Carloni) and partners who built the home and the fact that the building inspector, apparently, states that this non-signing of building permits is a standard procedure. I have also enclosed a fire department report on our home. As a side note, when I gave the unsigned building permit and the certificate of occupancy to Mr. , in December 1993, he called them the “smoking guns against the townâ€. He said the certificate of occupancy was a fraud and said we couldn’t sell our home. As you are aware, he never wrote a report about this. Also in my communications I also made the following statement, “As a further enclosure, I have sent the ‘signed’ building permit that we discovered in the Barnstable Town Hall in 1996. Remember in 1988 and 1993, according to the building inspector and the Police report, this document was never signed. How does a legally required document that was admittedly never signed, now become signed? The fact that this might be an attempt to hide illegal wrongdoing might also make it an obstruction of justice. The fact that the document was faxed might also make it wire fraud. The fact that the Town has known and admitted they know the home was built in violation of building codes but continues to demand full property taxes would seem to make this an illegal enterprise involving several people that has made money. I believe this is the definition of racketeering. I also mentioned in my communications that it has also come to my attention that Wojciechowicz of your Taunton office is the stepson of of your headquarters. Doesn’t it appear that a conflict of interest might exist in this area? It might appear that Mr. , by the evidence of the requests from the Attorney General’s office, has failed to properly manage and supervise Mr. Wojciechowicz in this matter. It would seem that a State employee’s failure to respond to a legal request from the Attorney General would be reason for their dismissal. In this situation it appears nothing was done. I also mentioned in my communications, as most recently evidenced in a July 21, 1998 report from Harrington to Secretary O’Toole, the Nantucket Modular Home report, instances of numerous failures of proper inspection and/or the reporting of these inspections by Mr. were noted. By this latest discovery it appears that since at least December of 1993, Mr. has failed to report on inspections he has been involved in that have uncovered building code violations. He has failed to take any actions against builders or State licensed building inspectors that have knowingly allowed this illegal construction to take place. Due to his dereliction he has placed the lives and safety of many citizens of this state in jeopardy. Due to his dereliction he has allowed numerous situations of consumer and bank fraud, criminal acts, to be perpetrated against many citizens of this state. As you can see, this is a very serious matter that requires immediate action. I thank you for your time in this matter. Should you have any questions or require further information, feel free to contact me. Yours Truly, Ken Moulton 38 Hawser Bend Centerville, MA. 02632 508-771-6365 June 20, 2000 Jane Perlov Secretary, Dept. of Public Safety One Ashburton Place Boston, MA. 02018 Dear Secretary Perlov; After reviewing the letter that I sent to you yesterday, Virginia mentioned some other disturbing areas of her conversation with Mr. . It seems that Mr. had a very keen knowledge of the court case that we brought against the builders of our home. He mentioned that they had a hundred thousand dollars of insurance. First of all, they had no insurance. Second, a hundred thousand dollars would be a drop in the bucket to repair the home to legal and safe standards and replace the money we have been robbed of. The builders had as their expert witness an individual named Jack Elliot. He introduced himself to us in 1996 as a friend and acquaintance of Mr. . He further stated that he and Mr. developed and wrote the States building codes. He also stated in court and under oath that our home had several building code violations and admitted he was there for damage control. In regards to the court case, which Mr. seems to be an expert on, a jury ruled that our home was built in violation of state and federal building codes. A group of 12 citizens, our peers, knew what illegal and legal construction is. Perhaps Mr. should take lessons from them because he obviously hasn’t a clue! As is the case when most politicians or government employees are being questioned about illegal, immoral or unethical conduct and practices, Mr. cites the standard line of “I don’t recall†or “I don’t recollectâ€. We, the citizens of Massachusetts, deserve better than the low standards displayed by MR. . As you can see, this is a very serious matter that requires immediate action. We, again, invite you to visit our home as soon as possible to see the devastation for yourself. I thank you for your time in this matter. Should you have any questions or require further information, feel free to contact me. Yours Truly, Ken Moulton 38 Hawser Bend Centerville, MA. 02632 508-771-6365 CC: Governor Cellucci August 24, 2000 Jane Perlov Secretary, Dept. of Public Safety One Ashburton Place Boston, MA. 02018 Dear Secretary Perlov; Since 1995, I have been writing to the Commissioner and Secretary of Public Safety. My complaints, which your agency has failed or refused to investigate or write reports about, have dealt with illegal and unsafe home construction allowed by municipal governments. Most of the issues I raised are considered to be of a criminal nature and involve local municipal officials as well as state officials. Since 1993, I have been writing to the Town Managers and Town Councilors of Barnstable about how they knowingly allowed our home, and reportedly many other homes and buildings, to be built in violation of almost every known building, fire and safety code. During this same time period I have also written to the Barnstable Building Commissioners about the illegal and unsafe construction they and their staff knowingly allowed. Our current Building Commissioner, Ralph Crossen, has been aware of this illegal and unsafe construction since at least May of 1995. Members of his staff have also had direct knowledge of these facts. One of his inspectors was involved in a meeting we had on May 19, 2000 with the current Town Manager. During this meeting all of the illegal facts were documented. It also appears that while Mr. Crossen has been building commissioner, an acknowledged unsigned building permit, a public record document, was illegally altered to deny and obstruct justice. Mr. Crossen further stated to a television reporter in a telephone interview from October 1996, that Barnstable was aware of corruption within their building department for over twenty years and looked the other way. He stated that he was hired to Afix@ the problems. On June 27, 2000, we had a meeting with Mr. Crossen and a member of the Town's legal department. We specifically retold Mr. Crossen, and provided the information in written form, of the illegal acts of him and of his department. We asked him to inspect our home as he is required to by 780 CMR. We were informed that Mr. Crossen will not inspect our home! Under State Law 780 CMR, Mr. Crossen is, and has knowingly been since at least May of 1995, in total violation of the following sections: 106.1, 106.7, 111.9 and 121.2. It further appears that the Town Manager, Town Attorney and Town Council have further ordered him not to inspect our home. By their so ordering, they have removed themselves from the protection of 1993 Tort Reform under Public Duty. They were all asked, as late as August 17, 2000, in a Town Council Meeting to allow and order Mr. Crossen to inspect our home. They have refused to do so. I was told in September of 1994 by the former Building Commissioner, Joe Daluz, that he was also ordered not to come to our home and inspect. He never did. The Town is also in violation, and have been since at least 1987, of 780 CMR in the following areas: 108.3.5.1, 115.5, 118.2, 120.1 and 121.2. The reason Barnstable, and many other communities across the Commonwealth, so openly disobey 780 CMR is because they know your agency knowingly protects their illegal and fraudulent acts upon consumers. These acts are also in violation of Federal Trade Commission Laws in regards to illegal and deceptive practices upon consumers. It is State Public Record that , the chief building inspector of your agency, will not write reports of the inspections or investigations that he performs. Due to the failures and or refusal of Mr. to document his inspections and investigations, he is in violation of 780 CMR in the following areas: 107.1, 107.2 and 121.2. Due to your failures, and those of your predecessor Kathleen O'Toole, you are both in violation of 780 CMR in at least the following area: 107.3 and 121.2. I'm sure that there are many other State and Federal Laws that Mr. , you and the Town of Barnstable have knowingly and willingly violated. By these violations you have all placed the life and safety of my family, and many others across the Commonwealth in danger. It is for these reasons, you and your predecessor have already been provided with all of the public record documents that substantiate these charges, that I demand the following actions: A) the construction supervisors licenses of Ralph Crossen and be immediately suspended until an investigation and hearing be held and decision rendered in writing of my charges and other issues that might be developed by investigation or from other complaints, a complete investigation into any inspections or investigations that Mr. , or Mr. Crossen performed during their employment as either municipal, private or state building inspectors/commissioners with the findings documented in written form, C) a complete investigation into the failures of the Secretary's of the Department of Public Safety to enforce or hold their building inspectors accountable to the laws of the Commonwealth and the United States of America, D) a referral be made to the Massachusetts Ethics Commission to determine if Mr. Crossen is in violation of any local, state or federal laws or ethics due to him running a private home inspectors business while he has been employed as a municipal building inspector or commissioner and E) all investigations that I have requested be performed by a combined team from the Massachusetts Inspector Generals office and Federal Law Enforcement authorities. The referral for investigative assistance and subpoena power from the Special Agent In Charge of the Boston FBI office and the US Attorney's office must also be made. I demand an immediate response and action to my complaint and further demand that you, and anybody currently or previously associated with the Department of Public Safety, recuse yourselves from participation in these investigations due to your documented failures to obey and enforce the Law. Yours Truly, Ken Moulton 38 Hawser Bend Centerville, MA. 02632 September 8, 2000 Jane Perlov Secretary, Dept. of Public Safety One Ashburton Place Boston, MA. 02018 Faxed: 617-727-5732 Dear Secretary Perlov; A few weeks ago I sent you the enclosed letter. As of this date I have had no response from you or anybody from the Department of Public Safety. As my letter stated, Barnstable will not allow the Building Commissioner, or his staff, to enter our home so that they can inspect it as is required under 780 CMR. They have stated that the report from their inspection can be used as evidence against them. Several months ago my Wife, Virginia, spoke with of your staff. He stated that if Barnstable refused to inspect our home he and his staff would. As you can see by the July 28, 2000 Barnstable letter, they refuse to inspect. We now want Mr. to come and inspect our home. We will require, as the law says, that Mr. write an immediate report of his inspection. We want a copy of this report which will be a public record document. He has never written a report from his December 1993 inspection of our home. If he had done his job and obeyed the law, the legal and safety issues would have been settled long ago. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Yours Truly, Ken Moulton 38 Hawser Bend Centerville, MA. 02632 508-771-6365 E-Mail: kenmoulton @hotmail.com October 25, 2000 Faherty Assistant General Counsel Dept. of Public Safety One Ashburton Place Boston, MA. 02018 Dear Ms. Faherty; I want to thank you for talking with me this morning on the telephone. As you are aware from all of the Public Records within the Department of Public Safety, I have been asking and pleading for your help for over seven years. As you are aware, , of your Department, inspected our home in December of 1993 and never bothered to write a report of the illegal and criminal building he saw. As you are aware, I have been writing to the Commissioner and Secretary of your Department, since 1995, about the corruption of builders and local building inspectors as well as the practice of Mr. to refuse to enforce the laws of the Commonwealth. As you are aware, he has even refused to respond to written requests, for reports, from the office of the Attorney General. In other words he has openly declared that he is above the Law! In our September letter to Secretary Perlov, we included several documents and photographs. These photos show, beyond any reasonable doubt, what hazards the illegal construction that Mr. saw in December of 1993 have caused. Not only are safety hazards shown, there are also photos of health hazards. Mr. , the Town of Barnstable and your Department have placed the life and safety of my family in danger by your ongoing failures to obey and/or enforce the Law. As I mentioned in our conversation, we are going to have our family members tested to see if the have been subjected to the hazardous and deadly Stachbotrys mold. I also stated that should you or the Town now decide to condemn our home, where are you going to pay to move us and pay all of our living and medical expenses? Remember it is the ongoing violations of the Law and our rights by your Department and the Town of Barnstable that have brought us to this point. You stated that you must discuss these issues with your Boss, Prosnitz. When can I expect a verbal and a written response? Remember that I also told you of the case of the Hyannis family that died a few days ago from a fire that was reportedly caused by faulty electrical wiring behind walls. I also told you of the illegal renovations that the Wellfleet Town Inspector allowed at their library. When can the peple of Massachsuetts expect that they will be safe in their homes? As long as works for your Department, nobody is safe. As I mentioned to you in our conversation and in my many letters to your Department, I want an outside agency and experts to inspect our home. You are part of the problem and not the solution. Perhaps it is time for the United States Environmental Protection Agency and other Federal Law enforcement agencies to take over. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Yours Truly, Ken Moulton 38 Hawser Bend Centerville, MA. 508-771-6365 March 9, 2001 Faherty Assistant General Counsel Dept. of Public Safety One Ashburton Place Boston, MA. 02018 Dear Ms. Faherty; On October 25, 2000, I faxed you the following letter. “October 25, 2000 Faherty Assistant General Counsel Dept. of Public Safety One Ashburton Place Boston, MA. 02018 Dear Ms. Faherty; I want to thank you for talking with me this morning on the telephone.

You stated that you were told not to have any contact with us because what you say or do could be used as evidence. You stated that a State Police Officer from your office would call. It is no surprise to us that nobody has called. This is FOUR months after you said somebody would. Why are you, the Secretary and now the State police refusing to enforce the Law? Why are you protecting , and several other Government inspectors, that refuse to do their job? The Health issues I mentioned to Secretary Perlov some six months ago are now reality. Your, and your agencies, gross incompetence has caused this. If your agency had enforced the Laws in 1993, we would not have these medical conditions now. While you tried to cover-up your agencies illegal and corrupt acts, we became ill. You are all responsible! Will you reply or continue to cover-up? Are you a member of the human race or just another person who protects illegal government acts? Can you sleep with your conscience of what you have done to my family? Perhaps you lack a conscience just as you appear top lack any ethics. Yours Truly, Ken Moulton 38 Hawser Bend Centerville, MA. 508-771-6365†Subj: RE: Toxic Mold Date: 10/11/2002 2:41:23 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: _jroeder@..._ (mailto:jroeder@...) To: _KENHMOULTON@..._ (mailto:KENHMOULTON@...) Sent from the Internet _(Details)_ (aolmsg://01b535c0/inethdr/1) Ken, Thank you very much for contacting the campaign and communicating your tragic and deeply troubling story. From the materials you have sent me it is seemingly clear that corruption in the town of Barnstable relating to your home implicates many in high ranking state positions, and some in the legislature itself. Such disgusting abuse of power is exactly the type of problem that Mitt Romney is uniquely qualified to remedy. However, even with his impeccable integrity and leadership strength, reform will be difficult. But reform must be achieved and justice better served. Prior to such reform Mitt must be elected our next Governor. Unfortunately, at this late stage in the campaign and without a more direct linkage to O'Brien I do not foresee Mitt being able to make a visit to your home. Although Mitt is not likely to directly highlight your situation, I can assure you that the sheer corruption that your cause exemplifies is precisely that which drives Mitt to seek the highest office in the State. For what it is worth, I will continue to look for any opportunity to further your cause here at the campaign. Be confident that when Mitt is elected he will take the broom of reform and sweep out many of those like Mr. Rodgers (and hopefully in Mr. Rodger's case, directly into jail.) I hope you accept my apologies for not being able to do more to improve your situation at present. Best possible wishes, T. Roeder Policy Development May 5, 1998 Kathleen O’Toole Secretary, Dept. of Public Safety One Ashburton Place Boston, MA. 02018 Dear Secretary O’Toole; On December 9, 1996, I sent to you, enclosed, a Freedom of Information request concerning information/records about Hale and Carloni. In response to my request, I was told to send my FOI request to the state building inspector for your department. I did send it and received the information concerning Mr.’s Hale and Carloni. In 1996, we won a jury trial against Mr. Hale and Mr. Cattaeno for breach of contract for a new home they sold us that was built in violation of building codes. Mr. Carloni, Mr. Hales cousin ( so I understand), was a partner and primary builder of the property in question. In the Police report they seem to have forgotten who their partner and contractor was. In his capacity as builder and general contractor during the construction, Mr. Carloni should bear some of the blame for the construction violations he caused or allowed. He currently holds a state construction supervisors license under the name of Paramount roofing. I believe he had this same license, or under Carloni homes, when he built the home in 1987-88. It is my believe that Mr. Carloni should be made to answer for his building violations. It is also my believe that Mr. Carloni should have his construction supervisors license revoked immediately. Whatever the penalties are under the law/statutes for Mr. Carloni’s violations, the maximum penalties should be imposed. In your review or investigation of this matter, I would request that you use somebody outside of your building inspectors division. We went to them when we first learned of the construction problems. To say they were less than adequate and professional would be an understatement. If you can dig up a report of the December 1993 inspection of the property at 38 Hawser Bend Centerville, Ma. that was done by Mr. , your state building inspector, and his team, I would like a copy of it under the Freedom of Information. As you can see by the 3 documents to members of your staff, that requested copies of investigative home inspection reports, by the Attorney Generals office, the requests were ignored. The ignoring of these requests might, I believe, demonstrate the lengths some members of your staff might have taken to conceal illegal construction throughout the state. For your review, I have enclosed copies of documents that your state building inspector, Mr. was given some 5 years ago. These documents include a SEM home inspection report, a building inspection report by Philbrook engineering, a letter from the town building inspector stating a contractor, doing a state contract, had failed to obtain the legally required building permit, our letter asking the town building commissioner to take action for this violation and the unsigned building permit on the property with the certificate of occupancy that was, I believe, fraudulently issued by the Town. I have also enclosed a copy (see highlighted areas) of the police report that states the local building inspector admits to not signing the building permit, the building inspector states he remembered building code violations with the home, the fact that these violations were probably known to the three people(Hale, Cattaeno and Carloni) and partners who built the home and the fact that the building inspector, apparently, states that this non-signing of building permits is a standard procedure. I have also enclosed a fire department report on our home. If these documents and the facts prove that illegal, unethical or criminal acts took place by the builders, town/state building inspectors, I would expect you, as Secretary of Public Safety, to send a complaint to the State Attorney General or US Attorney requesting to have these people prosecuted to the fullest extent of the laws. As a side note, when I gave the unsigned building permit and the certificate of occupancy to Mr. , in December 1993, he called them the “smoking guns against the townâ€. He said the certificate of occupancy was a fraud and said we couldn’t sell our home. It seems he never wrote a report about this or at least has never produced one under the Freedom of Information. As a further enclosure, I have sent the ‘signed’ building permit that we discovered in the Barnstable Town Hall in 1996. Remember in 1988 and 1993, according to the building inspector and the Police report, this document was never signed. How does a legally required document that was admittedly never signed, now become signed? The fact that this might be an attempt to hide illegal wrong doing might also make it an obstruction of justice. The fact that the document was faxed might also make it wire fraud. The fact that the Town has known and admitted they know the home was built in violation of building codes but continues to demand full property taxes would seem to make this an illegal enterprise involving several people that has made money. I believe this is the definition of racketeering. If these types of practices have been happening to other property owners, there might also be wider spread charges of bank fraud, misrepresentation and consumer fraud, or accessories to these charges by the builders and/or town/state officials. As you can see, this is a very serious matter that requires immediate action. I thank you for your time in this matter.
