Re: New York State Comptroller Audit Of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Village Of Piermont

Dear Attorney Sullivan, and Colleagues:

Further to my prior correspondence regarding the Village of Piermont in Rockland County, New York, Mr. Thomas DiNapoli’s Office of the New York State Comptroller (OSC) is commencing an Audit of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Village of Piermont:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/07/incorporated-village-of-piermont-new_12.html
This significant action follows OSC’s commencement of a “Risk Assessment” of Piermont in 2024. The “Risk Assessment” was made known to the public some time after its initiation. My understanding is that although the “Risk Assessment” has already taken numerous months, its last portion may itself nevertheless still remain to be completed by OSC.

My further understanding is that this new development, though – that is, the OSC Audit of Piermont - has yet to be publicly-communicated by the New York State Comptroller or by any local mainstream media to date. Rather, the OSC Audit of Piermont was instead quietly revealed by Piermont government itself, appearing to have been buried as “Item #5” in a newly-discovered document recently uploaded to the Village of Piermont’s Internet website reflecting minutes (labeled “DRAFT”) of the Village’s sparsely-attended June 10, 2025 Board of Trustees meeting. You will find a copy of those minutes attached/enclosed hereto with the mailed copy of this letter. You may also find a copy of the minutes as linked below:

EXCLUSIVE: New York State Comptroller Commences Audit Of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Village Of Piermont.

EXCLUSIVE: Thomas DiNapoli’s Office Of The New York State Comptroller (OSC) Is Now Commencing An Audit Of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Village Of Piermont, NY.

Saturday, July 12, 2025 (PIERMONT, NY)
By “Unhand Piermont!”

This is now a vitally-important concept for residents of the nepotistic and clannish Village of Piermont, many of whom have found themselves conflicted over the past year by dint of their individual past interactions with - and in many cases their misguided fealty towards - outgoing Mayor Bruce Tucker and the other Village of Piermont “officials” who currently populate the Piermont Board of Trustees and Piermont Village Hall. This sordid pool includes the various boards, committees, publications, non-profits, and other interest-groups and individuals that have denigrated themselves as sycophants to do Bruce Tucker’s malevolent bidding over the past seven-plus years of his harmful mayoral reign.

Right now, each and every individual who has enabled Bruce Tucker and his Village Hall lackeys, is vulnerable to the prospect of becoming themselves swept-up in the Comptroller’s audit of Piermont. After all, there are only about 2,500 residents in Piermont, and it has been beyond simple to figure out which ones are the Tucker-philes. Moreover, the existence and progress of the OSC auditing activities will continue to be reported-out to county, state, and federal agencies with law enforcement power including the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office, the New York State Attorney General’s Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. All of them.

This situation may get much worse before it gets any better - not just for the Village and Bruce Tucker, but also for any individual possessing the requisite lack of judgment needed to choose to continue to associate with Tucker. Therefore, I republish the call to any and all whistleblowers, below. If you have any knowledge of any malfeasance by Mayor Bruce Tucker or others within Village of Piermont government, past or present, you are urged to report what you know to the Office of the New York State Comptroller.

After all, better that you bring it to them, than they bring it to you:

Thank you for your attention to this matter, which is very important to all of Rockland County, New York.
