The Bruce Tucker Timeline: How The Garmento Piermont Mayor Threw In The Towel.

Current Piermont, New York Mayor Bruce Tucker spent the Village of Piermont into virtual oblivion during his seven years in office. Tucker and his reprobate Piermont village government are now reported to be under audit and investigation by the Office of the New York State Comptroller (OSC). 

The citizens of Piermont have a right to know how they arrived at this perilous point in time. The citizens of Piermont have a right to know Bruce Tucker's financial history. The public-record documents and information comprising Bruce Tucker's financial history, are here.

A textual and numerical timeline index first appears below. It is directly based upon public-record Rockland County Clerk filings, other public-record government sources, news sources, and other sources, that reveal Piermont, New York Mayor Bruce Tucker's financial history.

Once you reach the end of the timeline index, you will then and thereafter reach a fairly-massive ".jpeg" chronology of the raw documents which were used to create the index itself - well over a hundred pages worth of painstakingly-reviewed raw documents. That said, the ".jpeg" chronology will be augmented here, as further relevant documents are culled. Key portions of the ".jpeg" documents below, have been yellow-highlighted for your ease of reference. 

I hope that you find these materials meaningful and revelatory. I know that I sure did.
