“WHISTLE BLOWER “

HONORABLE JUSTICE MRS. PETRISE TUCKER

PLEASE, FIRST PERMIT ME TO HUMBLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING, REGARDING THE SEVERITY OF MY ILLNESS. I TRULY BELIEVE IF IT WEREN’T FOR YOUR INTERVENTION AT THE TIME OF THE CLOSING ARGUMENT OF THE GOV. PRETAINING TO MY SENTENCING, THE RESULTS OF MY WELL BEING TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT. I HAVE BEEN A DIABETIC SINCE THE AGE OF 13 AND THIS DREADED DISEASE HAD TAKEN A TOLL ON MY LIFE. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY, PLUMBING, THAT I AND MOST OF MY FAMILY HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR MANY YEARS. MY BECOMING A PLUMBING INSPECTOR ENABLED ME TO CONTINUE IN THE PLUMBING FIELD, WITHOUT HAVING TO ENGAGE IN THE STRENUOUS, EVERYDAY LABORIOUS TASKS IT REQUIRES.OR,FOR ,ME CONTINUOUSLY TO POKE A HOLE IN MY FINGER TO CHECK MY OWN BLOOD SUGARS{AIDS}.
SURPRISINGLY I FOUND DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC MOST ENJOYABLE. FOR THE MOST PART THE PUBLIC ARE GENUINE, AND THEY ARE TRULY VULNERABLE, I PERSONALLY WITNESSED MANY SCAMS THEY FELL VICTIM TO, AND ATTEMPTED TO RIGHT THE WRONG. MOST OF THE TIME JUSTICE PREVAILED, BUT NOT ALWAYS. MY JOB CONSISTED OF INSPECTING THE WORK OF THE LICENSED MASTER PLUMBER, AND LOOKING FOR PLUMBING WORK BEING DONE BY UNLICENSED ; UNSCRUPULOUS PLUMBERS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I FOUND SOME EGREGIOUS ACTIVITY. PLUMBING WORK BEING DONE WITHOUT A PERMIT, BY UNLICENSED INDIVIDUALS WHO DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT THE PLUMBING CODES EVEN THE SIMPLEST INFORMATION WITHIN THE CODE THAT IS EXTREMELY RELEVANT TO MAINTAINING THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF EVERYONE RESIDING WITHIN THE CITY. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS FRIGHTENING, AND IT SHOULD, IF YOU KNEW OF THE POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS & DANGERS, IMPROPER PLUMBING COULD REEK UPON ALL OF US. VIOLATORS, WHO IMPOSE THESE RISKS ON US, WOULD BE DEALT WITH MORE HARSHLY.LETS NOT FORGET, THESE PERMITS & VIOLATIONS GENERATE REVENUE FOR THE CITY.
ONE DAY WHILE I WAS OUT ON INSPECTIONS I HAPPEND TO SEE ACTIVITY (PLUMBING WORK ) BEING DONE AT 1400 N. 62ND ST. WHEN I ENTERED THE PREMISES I ACTED ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE GREAT JOB THEY WERE DOING AND ELUDED TO THEM THAT I WAS INTERESTED IN THEM DOING WORK FOR ME. WITH THIS SAID, THEY BEGAN BOASTING ABOUT OTHER WORK THEY HAD JUST COMPLETED AND WERE STILL DOING AROUND THE CORNER AND REQUESTED I GO WITH THEM TO SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL PLUMBING JOB THEY JUST COMPLETED AT 649 N. 54TH ST.. IT WAS AT THIS TIME I INFORMED THEM WHO I WAS, SHOWING THEM MY CITY BADGE AND REQUESTING TO SEE A COPY OF THEIR PLUMBING PERMIT. WITH THIS BOTH INDIVIDUALS BECAME EXTREMELY HOSTILE, ACTUALLY THREATENING MY LIFE. “YOU ARE LUCKY WE DO NOT KILL YOU RIGHT NOW “ I ATTEMPTED TO CALM THEM DOWN AND AS I WAS HANDING THEM MY CARD THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE WORKING FOR THE PHILA. HOUSING DEVELOPEMENT.CORP. (PHDC). THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT THE BOSS; I REQUESTED THAT THEY TELL THEIR BOSS TO CALL ME AT THE OFFICE IN THE MORNING. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I RECEIVED THAT PHONE CALL, AND THE GENTLEMEN REQUESTED THAT I STOP OUT AGAIN AND INSPECT THE JOB. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS UNABLE TO SCHEDULE AN INSPECTION WITHOUT HIM FIRST OBTAING A PLUMBING PERMIT. MY METHOD OF OPERATION WAS TO ALLOW THE INDIVIDUALS OPERATING WITHOUT A PERMIT, 3 DAYS TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY PLUMBING PERMIT BEFORE I WOULD WRITE THE VIOLATIONS. THIS IN IT SELF WAS AN EXTENDED COURTESY. THE GENTLEMEN ON THE PHONE UPON HEARING THIS REQUEST FOR A PERMIT, IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED WITH “ IF YOU PURSUE THIS YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR JOB” THREE DAYS PAST WITHOUT FURTHER CONTACT AND I WROTE THE VIOLATIONS.
NOTE: AFTER WRITING A VIOLATION IT NORMALLY TOOK SEVERAL WEEKS FOR THE VIOLATOR TO RECEIVE THEIR COPY. THE PROCESS WOULD BE THE INSPECTOR WRITING THE VIOLATION WOULD RECEIVE A REMINDER NOTICE FROM WITHIN THE SYSTEM. IF A PLUMBING PERMIT HAD BEEN OBTAINED, THE INSPECTOR WOULD NOTE THE PERMIT NUMBER ON THE VIOLATION AND AT THAT TIME, THE MATTER WOULD BE CLOSED, NEVER TO BE RAISED AGAIN.
SEVERAL MONTHS PASS AND I BELIEVE IT WAS DURING THIS TIME, A SMALL ARTICLE APPEARED, IN THE DAILY NEWS, PERTAING TO MISS APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS WITHIN PHDC. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM MR.JOE LOWRY A REGISTERED MASTER PLUMBER ( RMP) #3596 WHO COINCIDENTLY WAS A EMPLOYEE OF PHDC. MR. LOWRY TOLD ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY PLUMBING PERMIT FOR THE TWO VIOLATIONS THAT WERE WRITTEN. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH MR. LOWRY AND DURING THIS INSPECTION AT THE SITE 1400 N. 62ND ST. IS WHEN MR. LOWRY INFORMED ME THAT I HAD STARTED A LOT OF PROBLEMS, WHEN I WROTE THESE VIOLATIONS. I COMMENCED WITH THE INSPECTION AND IN DOING SO NOTICED THAT WHEN I FLUSHED THE TOILET GURGLING SOUNDS OCCURRED IN THE BATHTUB. THIS SYMPTOM IS AN INDICATION OF A VENTING PROBLEM AND EVERYONE IN POSSESSION OF A RMP LICENSE IS AWARE OF THIS. I ASKED JOE ABOUT THIS ALLEGED PROBLEM AND ASKED HIM IF HE WAS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THIS IS WHEN HE INFORMED ME THAT HE DID NOT DO THE ACTUAL WORK. I SUGGESTED THAT IF HE WASN’T WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WORK. HE WOULD HAVE TO CANCEL, HIS PLUMBING PERMITS. MR. LOWRY WAS AWARE THAT IF I WERE TO DO THE NECESSARY THOROUGH INSPECTION, THE BATHROOM FLOOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED FOR ME TO SEE FIRST HAND WHAT WAS CAUSING THE GURGLING. MR LOWRY INFORMED ME AT THAT TIME HE WAS NOT WILLING TO ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS INFERIOR WORKMANSHIP. HE CONTINUED TO REITERATE THAT I WAS CAUSE OF CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF UNREST WITHIN HIS OFFICE, AND THAT “YOU ARE A WHISTLE BLOWER” IT TOOK SEVERAL PHONE CALLS FROM ME TO MR LOWRY BEFORE I FINALLY RECEIVED HIS CANCELLATION. QUITE FRANKLY IT WAS ABOUT 4 MONTHS.
.NOTE: MR LOWRY WHEN TESTIFYING AT MY TRIAL, THREE TIMES WITHIN THE SHORT TIME HE WAS ALLOTED TO TESTIFY, MENTIONED THAT I “WAS A WHISTLE BLOWER “IT WAS UNCANNY HOW SWIFTLY THE GOVERNMENT REMOVED HIM FROM THE WITNESS STAND.
ENTER MR JOSEPH LAZURUS, HOUSING REHAB INSPECTOR, OFFICE OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (OHCD) 1234 MARKET ST. 3RD FLOOR PHILA PA. 19107 , 215-686-9831. MR LAZURUS CALLED ME AND ASKED ME IF WERE ABLE TO WORK FOR HIM TO DO INSPECTIONS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I NOT KNOWING AT THE TIME, WHO MR. LAZURUS WAS, INFORMED HIM THAT UPON AUTHORIZATION FROM MY SUPERVISORS ANYTHING WAS POSSIBLE. MR LAZURUS APPARENTLY CONTINUED HIS PURSUIT OF THIS REQUEST BECAUSE ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE CURRENT ACTING DISTRICT SUPERVISOR AND HIS SUPERVISOR TO GIVE MR LAZURUS FULL COOPERATION. IF MY MEMORY IS CORRECT BOTH SUPERVISORS AUTHORIZED THIS ARRANGEMENT.
MR LAZURUS: HOUSING REHAB INSPECTOR, OFFICE OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
MR. KEN GASSMAN: ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR FOR L& I,,
MR. EDWARD DOMINICK: BUILDING INSPECTOR SOUTH DISTRICT,
MS AQUILLA O. MCNEAL: SPECIAL AGENT US DEPT OF HUD OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL,
MR JOHN HIGGINS: L& I ,
MS TONI BENNER MONITORING SUPERVISOR OF OHCD,
MR. KEN WALTERS????? WHEN I REQUESTED HIS BUSINESS CARD HE BLATENLY REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO ME.
AND I MR. STEPHEN M. RACHUBA: CITY OF PHILA. PLUMBING INSPECTOR,
THIS WAS THE ENTOURAGE GOING AROUND INSPECTING THE NUMEROUS RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. MR LAZURUS POSSESSED 3, THREE RING BINDER BOOKS. GIVING ONE TO, MR. GASSMAN, MR. DOMINICK, AND ME. WE WERE THEN INSTRUCTED BY MR. LAZURUS THAT WE WERE TO MAKE ALL NOTES REGARDING ANY AND ALL VIOLATIONS WITHIN THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK WAS ALSO GOING TO BE THE ONLY SOURCE OF ANY NOTIFICATION OF THESE VIOLATIONS, WHEREAS WE WERE INSTRUCTED NOT TO WRITE CITY VIOLATIONS PERTAINING TO THESE PROPERTIES, SUCH AS WE WERE NORMALLY ACCUSTOMED TO DO. WE WERE ALSO INSTRUCTED BY MR. LAZURUS THAT AT THE END OF EACH DAY WE WERE TO RETURN OUR THREE RING BINDERS TO HIS TRUCK.
SHORT OF DISMISSING ME CLAIMING, TO BE A CONCSIENTOUS CIVIL SERVANT, DUE TO MY RECENTLY BEING CONVICTED A FELON, I TRULY HAD THE CITY AND THE PUBLICS INTEREST AT HEART. YES I FEEL SLIGHTED HOWEVER I AM STILL A BELIEVER IN THE FACT THAT JUSTICE DOES PREVAIL.THEREFORE PLEASE PERMIT ME TO CONTINUE.
DURING THE INSPECTIONS I ASKED SOME SENSITIVE QUESTIONS
11-02-98 MR LAZURUS SIR I GUESS YOU WILL WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION FOR THIS TO HIT THE NEWSPAPER? RESPONSE “THIS WILL NEVER HIT THE NEWS, THEY WILL SETTLE OUT OF COURT. THIS GUY WILL PAY BACK ALL THE MONEY THAT HE STOLE “ ( AT THIS TIME I DID NOT KNOW THE IDENTIY THIS GUY ) MY NEXT QUESTION TO HIM WAS DO YOU THINK THAT HE WOULD PLEAD BANKRUPTCY IN LIEU OF RESTORATION? RESPONSE “I REALLY DO NOT KNOW “
11-03-98 MS BENNER MAM I GUESS YOU WILL WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION FOR THIS TO HIT THE NEWSPAPER? RESPONSE “THIS WILL NEVER HIT THE NEWSPAPER, IF IT DID WE WOULD NOT BE ALLOTED ANY MORE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT “
11-03-98 MR WALTERS SIR I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING ONE OF THESE HOUSES WHAT ARE THEY WORTH? RESPONSE “ALL HOUSES ARE SOLD FOR $40,000.00 BUT YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO PURCHASE, THEY ARE FOR LOW TO MEDIUM INCOME FAMILY'S. “ BUT AREN’T SOME OF THESE HOMES IN NICE NEIGHBORHOODS? RESPONSE “YES THAT IS WHAT WE DO “ WHAT IS YOUR SUCCESS RATE? RESPONSE NONE GIVEN, I REPEAT THE QUESTION INQUIRING IS IT 50% OR LESS? RESPONSE “SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT, WE PURCHASE HOUSES FOR $40,000.00 AND SINK AN ADDITIONAL $40,000.00 INTO THE HOUSE, FOR A TOTAL OF $80,000.00. THEN WE SELL TO REFORM FOR $40,000.00. IT DOESN’T MATTER IF THEY EVER PAY US BACK. THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM. “I RESPONDED SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING.”
THIS IS WHEN I DECIDED TO TAKE THE BOOK HOME TO COPY THE PAGES. TO A CD.. THERE WAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF FRAUD JUST WITH THE CLAIMS FOR THE WORK, DONE BY ONE INDIVIDUAL, IN 6 MONTHS, LET ALONE THE FACT THAT THERE WASN’T ANY CONCERN REGARDING REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS, GIVEN TO THESE UNDERPRIVLIGED HOME OWNERS WHO WERE ESSENTIALLY BEING GIFTED THESE HOMES. THE FACT REMAINS IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIFT SOMEONE SOMETHING, AT LEAST DO SO, WHERE AS YOU ARE NOT GOING TO JEOPARDISE THEIR SAFETY, WELL BEING, & HEALTH. THE INSPECTIONS EXCEEDED THE INITIAL ALLOTTED TIME, MY SUPERVISORS CONSENTED TO, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO STAY FOR AS LONG AS MR. LAZURUS REQUIRED. UPON COMPLETION OF THESE INSPECTIONS WE SURRENDERED THE BOOKS TO MR. LAZURUS.
RETURNING TO MY NORMAL DUTIES AND SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, I RECEIVED A PLUMBING PERMIT FOR A CHARTER SCHOOL LOCATED AT 47TH ST, BETWEEN MARKET AND HAVERFORD. SURPRISINGLY THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR IS MR RON MCCOY OF ABC CONSTRUCTION. I SAY SURPRISINGLY BECAUSE IT WAS DURING THIS TIME, THAT I WAS APPEARING BEFORE A CITY GRAND JURY, REGARDING THE ALLEGED FRAUD MATTERS, PERTAINNG TO THE PROPERTIES, I INSPECTED FOR MR. LAZURUS, OHCD. MR. RON MCCOY THE CEO OF ABC CONSTRUCTION, I RECALLED BEING MENTIONED THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME ON MOST OF THE PAPERWORK WITHIN THE BINDERS. I WAS ALSO SURPRISED TO SEE ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS DEPUTY COMMISSIONER DAVE PERRI COMING AND GOING FROM THIS JOB SITE. PRIOR TO TESTIFYING AND AT THE TIME OF MY ARRIVAL TO TESTIFY AT THE GRAND JURY I CROSSED PATHS WITH COMMISIONER OF L & I MR. EDWARD MCLAUGHLIN. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO THE COMMISIONER I EXTENDED MY HAND AND HE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND DID NOT RECIPROCATE THE HAND SHAKE.
A FEW MONTHS PASS AND THE CHARTER SCHOOL IS COMPLETED AND ONE DAY WHILE GOING TO WORK, I STOPPED AT WAWA AT TYSON AND CASTOR. LOW AND BEHOLD I MEET MR. LAZURUS IN THE WAWA. I MENTIONED TO HIM THAT I JUST FINISHED FINALING THE PLUMBING INSPECTION OF A CHARTER SCHOOL AND THAT MR MCCOY , ABC CONSTRUCTION HAD JUST DONE THIS JOB AS THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR. MR LAZURUS REPLIED HOW DID I KNOW THAT THIS WAS INDEED THE FACT., I RESPONDED THAT I HAD HIS CARD AND WHEN I SHOWED MR LAZURUS THE CARD HE IMMEDIATELY REQUESTED IF HE COULD HAVE IT. I OBLIGED GIVING HIM THE CARD.
TURN UP THE HEAT!!!
DEPUTY COMMISSIONER MR DAVE PERRI FINALIZED THE COMPLETION OF THIS CHARTER SCHOOL PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE FINAL PAPERWORK FORMS FROM BUD ENNIS BUILDING INSPECTOR & MR CONDRIN THE ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR AND MY PLUMBING FINAL.I KNOW THESE FACTS BECAUSE THE DAY THE BUILDING WAS FINALIZED THE BACKFLOW PREVENTER HAD BEEN INSTALLED, NOT CERTIFIED BUT INSTALLED. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE OFFICE TO COMPLETE THE PAPERWORK I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SCHOOL HAD BEEN FINALIZED BY THE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER MR. DAVE PERRI REGARDLESS OF OUR PAPERWORK.
WITHIN A SHORT TIME LATER MY RECONSTRUCTED DAILY ROUTE SHEETS WERE SCRUTINIZED AND AN ERROR BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. HOWEVER WHAT REMAINS A MYSTERY IS THAT MY ORIGINAL ROUTE SHEETS WERE MISSING AND I WAS INSTRUCTED BY MY SUPERVISOR TO RECREATE THEM. MIRACULOUSLY DAYS LATER THE ORIGINAL ROUTE SHEETS RESURFACED, THUS THE DISCRIMINATION OF EXACT TIMES IS HYLIGHTED AND I AM SUMMONED TO APPEAR AT AN INQUIRY CONDUCTED AND RECORDED BY DEPUTY COMMISONER DAVE PERRI. ALSO ATTENDING WAS MR MIKE MAINART AND I BELIEVE BUT WOULDN’T WANT TO SWEAR TO IT MR. MIKE FINK. THE QUESTION THAT INTRIGUED ME WAS “IF I KEPT RECORDS OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE? “. I RESPONDED YES AND HE IMMEDIATELY REQUESTED IF HE COULD SEE THE BOOK. IN FURTHER CONVERSATION I ELUDED TO EXPERIMENTING WITH A PALM PILOT PDA, MR PERRI REQUESTED THAT I GIVE IT TO HIM AND I RESPONDED THAT I WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL WITH THE OPERATING OF THIS DEVICE AND THAT I RETURNED IT TO THE STORE. HIS RESPONSE WAS “I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU” THIS IS WHEN I WAS REPRIMANDED WITH A 30 DAY NO PAY SUSPENSION. WITH INTENT TO DISMISS MR MAINART ATTEMPTED TO CONSOLE ME AND SAID THAT HE SPOKE TO MR PERRI ABOUT THE PUNISHMENT AND MENTIONED THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS HARSH FOR A 1ST TIME OFFENSE. I ON THE OTHER HAND SAID, OH BOY, I AM IN TROUBLE, AND HE HAS GOT AN AGENDA.
SHORTLY UPON MY RETURN FROM MY SUSPENSION I WAS TRANSFERRED TO HOUSING. MY DUTIES IN THE HOUSING UNIT WAS TO RESPOND TO HOMEOWNER COMPLAINTS, PLUMBING PROBLEMS AFFECTING THEIR PROPERTIES AND LIVING CONDITIONS. THE MAJORITY OF MY RESPONSES WERE TO THE INDIGENT. WHEN I WOULD DISCOVER A UNSANITARY CONDITION AND WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF IT, I WOULD WRITE A VIOLATION TO THE HOMEOWNER INSTRUCTING THEM TO OBTAIN A RMP AND TO HAVE THE RMP CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND SECURE A PLUMBING PERMIT TO DO SO. THIS POSITION REQUIRED ME TO DO EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATORY WORK THEREFORE I SPENT A LOT OF TIME SEARCHING FOR THE CAUSES THUS REDUCING THE NUMER OF VIOLATIONS WRITTEN AS I WAS ACCUSTOMED TO AT MY PRIOR POSITION.
ONE DAY MR BILL WALKER THE SUPERVISORS, SUPERVISOR INSTRUCTED ME TO COME WITH HIM, SO THAT WE COULD FIND 3 ADDITIONAL SUPERVISORS TO WITNESS HIS CONVERSATION. THE THREE SUPERVISORS WERE MR STANLEY ROBINSON, MR PHIL GOFFREDO, MR LACY ALL FROM THE HOUSING UNIT. THE SUBJECT MATTER WAS I WAS BEING GIVEN A DIRECT ORDER NOT TO WRITE PLUMBING PERMIT REQUIRED ON ALL FUTURE PLUMBING VIOLATIONS. FOR APPROX. THREE MONTHS I RELUCTANTLY COMPLIED TO HIS REQUEST, ABOUT THIS TIME I WAS GIVEN A TARGET LETTER FROM THE FEDERAL GOV AND BECAME SUSPICIOUS AS TO WHY I WAS INSTRUCTED TO DO SUCH A LUDICROUS ORDER, NOT WRITING PLUMBING PERMITS REQUIRED FOR PLUMBING VIOLATIONS. I WAS NEVER GIVEN ANY WRITTEN DIRECTION REGARDING THIS ORDER. I DID HOWEVER DISCOVER THAT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF WORK WAS BEING DONE WITHOUT THE REQUIRED PLUMBING PERMITS. DURING THIS TIME I REFUSED TO CLOSE ANY VIOLATION NOT HAVING THE PROPER PLUMBING PERMIT. I FORWARDED THESE CLOSINGS TO MR WALKER.
1-02 I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM MR LAZURUS, NOW MIND YOU, I AM WORKING IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT UNIT. MR LAZURUS INQUIRED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO DO SOMETHING REGARDING THE PLUMBING CODE. I ANSWERED HIS QUESTION AND THEN I ASKED HIM A QUESTION. HOW WERE WE MAKING OUT WITH THE INVESTIGATION AND WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME OF THE TRIAL? HE THEN ASKED ME IF I HAD ANY INFORMATION WITH REGARDS TO THAT INVESTIGATION?. I REPLIED THE ONLY INFORMATION I HAD IS WHAT I HAD WRITTEN INTO MY PERSONAL DAILY LOG. IT WASN’T UNTIL MY FEDERAL TRIAL THAT I NOTICED MY SPECIFIC PERSONAL LOG BOOK WAS MISSING. I KEPT THESE PERSONAL LOGS IN MY DESK AND UNFORTUNATELY I AM UNAWARE AS TO THE TIME FRAME WHEN IT WAS MISSING. AT THIS TIME MR LAZURUS INFORMED ME THAT ALL OF THE BOOKS 3 RING BINDERS AND OTHER RELATED PAPER WORK WAS MISSING. IN ADDITION MR MCCOY WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY. I HAVE SINCE HEARD THAT WHAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED WAS THAT THE CASE WAS BROUGHT INTO THE CITY COURT SYSTEM AND THAT THE CASE MAY HAVE BEEN DISMISSED DUE TO THE CITY NOT BEING PREPARED. WHAT FRUSTRATES ME IS WHY THE FEDERAL GOV DOESN’T PURSUE THIS EGREGIOUS FRAUD TO THE TAX PAYER.
BEFORE MY TRIAL I HAD SPOKEN TO MY ATTORNEY ABOUT MASSIVE THEFTS OF MILLIONS OR EVEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR IF THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL CLAIMING THEY WERE DOING WORK AND WITHOUT ANY PAPERWORK “LEGAL” CONTINUING TO GET PAID.. MY ATTORNEY MR. ARI MOLDOVSKI HAD SUGGESTED TO ME THAT TO FIRST GO TO THE CITY ATTORNEY GENERAL WHICH I DID JULY 13TH 2005., AFTER MY TRIAL AND HAD ALSO SPOKEN TO OTHERS WHO I HAVE MET IN THIS KIND OF JOB .SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MR. JONATHAN SAIDEL JULY 13TH 2005., TAKING MY PAPERWORK AND EXPLAINING TO HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON .HE LATER LEFT THE ROOM AND HAD TOLD ME TO CONTINUE SPEAKING TO HIS STAFF WHICH WERE MR. CARLIN, MR. ANTHONY R. RADWANSKI AND ANOTHER WHO I MAY HAVE MISPLACED THEIR NAME RIGHT NOW. AND I SPOKE TO THESE GENTLEMAN EXPLAINING OF THESE THEFTS AND FRAUD AND MISS APPROPRIATION OF GOVERNMENT FUNDS .IN WHICH THEY REPLIED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A FEDERAL MATTER AND THAT THEY WOULD TURN IT OVER TO OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT .SO I WENT BACK HOME AGAIN THINKING THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THIS ESPECIALLY WITH THE DOCUMENTS THAT I HAD SUPPLIED THEM WERE ALL COPIES OF ORIGINALS .SO I WAITED OVER 1 MONTH THINKING THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL FROM SOMEONE REGARDING THIS MULTI MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR FRAUD ,SO I THEN WENT TO 6TH AND ARCH ST. TO GIVE MY STORY AND INFORMATION TO OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HOPING THAT THESE THINGS WOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND THAT MORE SAFEGUARDS WOULD BE PUT IN PLACE TO PREVENT THESE KINDS OF THEFTS . A SHORT TIME LATER I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A MISS VICKY HUMPHRIES FROM OUR FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION STATING HER JOB BESIDES CONVICTING ME WAS TO INVESTIGATE CITY CORRUPTION AND THAT SHE WAS IN CHARGE.AS SHE STARTED TO QUESTION ME IN THESE REGARDS WHERE DID YOU GET THIS INFORMATION IN WHICH I REPLIED IT WAS DURING DOING MY JOB AND THAT MY JOB WAS MUCH LIKE HERS INVESTIGATING WITH ONLY SLIGHT DIFFERENCES . SHE THEN ASKED ME IF I HAD BROKEN INTO MR. RON MCCOY’S GARAGE AND HAD STOLEN THEM .IN WHICH I REPLIED OR YOU FOR REAL .AND REMEMBERING IN THE BACK OF MY MIND THAT IT WAS HER AGENDA TO PROSECUTE ME .SO HOPING NOT TO BE PROSECUTED AGAIN FOR THINGS THAT I DIDN’T DO I TRIED TO GET AWAY FROM HER ON THE PHONE AS SHE WAS TELLING ME OF HAVE I SPOKE TO ANYONE ELSE REGARDING THESE MATTERS IN WHICH I REPLIED I HAVE SPOKEN TO MR. SAIDEL MR. CARLIN AND MR. RADWANSKI “DEPUTY CITY CONTROLLER AND SHE REPLIED TO ME THAT SHE KNOWS MR. CARLIN AND I ASKED HER IF HE HAD SPOKEN TO HER ABOUT THESE KINDS OF THEFTS AND FRAUDS . HER REPLY THEN WAS “OUR YOU WORKING NOW” AND I GAVE UP THINKING WHAT COULD BE ON HER MIND.. AGAIN YOU’RE HONOR I MUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR SYMPATHY FAIRNESS AND YOUR ABILITY TO LISTEN.

THANK YOU SINCERELY
STEPHEN M. RACHUBA
PS I TRULY HAVE FEARED FOR MY LIFE AND NOW I FEAR EVEN MORE FOR MY LIFE .MY DOCTORS TELL ME THAT I MUST STILL BE WEARY OF INFECTIONS .AND THAT EVEN THE COMMON COLD WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO MY HEALTH OR MY NEWLY TRANSPLANTED ORGANS . ALSO I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT PHILADELPHIA’S LICENSES AND INSPECTIONS GRASP IS MUCH MORE FAR REACHING THAN JUST PHILADELPHIA ALONE .AND THAT THESE GIFTS TO THE INDIGENT WERE OR COULD NOW BE NATIONWIDE AND NOT JUST IN PHILADELPHIA ANYMORE .BECAUSE I TOO HAVE BEEN A VICTIM OF L. & I. AS MY FAMILY. DETAILS NOT INCLUDED AT THIS TIME,
I TRULY FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND WELL BEING .IN WRITING THIS OR BRINGING THIS TO ANYONES ATTENTION BUT IF I AM TRULY CONSIDERED AN OFFICIAL I MUST NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES. EVEN IF IT IS MY LIFE ON THE LINE,
