When Morons Control Governments. (Reprise).


Above and below you will see edits of a screen-shot from the official Internet website of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Village of Piermont, taken this past weekend. The screen-shot text announces the code “ammendments”[sic] relating to the Piermont Comprehensive Plan, its therein-embedded horrendous CBM Zone, and the nightmarish 447-477 Piermont Avenue development that they were engineered by Bruce Tucker and his reptilian friends to facilitate.


If you are a reader of this Blog, you will already know that Bruce Tucker has committed comparable acts of idiocy in the past:

Do not bother looking for this particular "ammendment"[sic] screen today. Bruce Tucker and his Village government will probably hasten to remove it almost as quickly as the screens were posted. But if you insist - here - and tell me what you find:
https://piermont-ny.gov/


Mayor Bruce Tucker and Piermont government made it a strategy to conceal material developments in the Village from the residents, for years at a time. That fact is well-documented elsewhere within the hundreds of individual posts on this Blog, and in the court file of Janice Young v. Piermont:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2024/04/how-to-access-court-file.html


Still embroiled in a New York State Comptroller “Risk Assessment”, the righteous collective indignation of taxpaying Piermont voter-residents, the exposure of Bruce Tucker’s past failures and indiscretions, and a series of further guests anticipated to be coming to the Garmento Mayor’s little Bastille Day block-party as well – the below is how Bruce Tucker and the Village of Piermont government spell a communication. 

Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker is truly the "Last Stop" before illiteracy:


To paraphrase Gene Wilder’s character “Jim” in the Warner Bros. motion picture “Blazing Saddles” (1974):
 
“These are people of the land. The common clay... You know... MORONS”.
 

These are not normal people currently inhabiting Piermont Village Hall government. Oh, the residents already know this on some level. But the reason that the residents cannot acknowledge it expressly, must be guilt. After all, the residents are the same people who repeatedly voted Bruce Tucker into mayoral office, or else did nothing and watched while it all happened. To quote my current favorite AI bot, “cognitive dissonance is a psychological state where someone experiences discomfort when their beliefs, values, or attitudes conflict with their actions”.
 
Now, after a year-long fight and counting - and thanks to the same Internet that Bruce Tucker and Piermont government use to broadcast their novel experimental spellings - the facts are out. These outed facts are the same reasons why New York State Comptroller staff are reported to have spent at least a full month in Piermont Village Hall extracting further data and information from Piermont government’s books and records. Those state officials know, as do I, that when you are dealing with Bruce Tucker and his moronic Village Hall gang, you are actually not dealing with normal people. Rather, you are dealing with the moral functional-equivalent of white-collar criminals and organized crime. The only difference is, this situation is worse, because it is cloaked in governmental auspices and ostensible claim of right. At least mobsters tell you that they are mobsters with their Sergio Tacchini track-suits and gold chains.

Bruce Tucker used governmental offices to run a game on you. All of you. And most of you bought it. For over seven years. Voters often remain gullible until the indictments are actually handed down.
 
Further information about Bruce Tucker and Piermont has been furnished to state and federal agencies. I trust that all Piermont residents will see Bruce Tucker and Piermont village government for the perps that they really are in the meantime, and will join the cause of right with the appropriate degree of ferocity. Why? Because this guy really desecrated your village and laid it to waste. At this point, at around US$8,000,000 in a retrograde negative Net Position hole, it is not even clear that you can recoup your losses.

Good luck with these morons at the Village Hall meeting tomorrow.

Don't Let Piermont Mayor Tucker Pull The Pin On Tuesday.


ATTENTION PIERMONT, ORANGETOWN, AND ROCKLAND COUNTY: Please attend this coming Tuesday night’s Piermont Village Hall meeting and Public Hearing at 7:00 PM. As indicated in the below Piermont Village Hall public notices, embittered departing Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker is seeking to pull the pin on Tuesday night. As you can also see from the below public notices, Piermont Village Hall and Tucker have issued conflicting communications, one citing a 7:15 PM start-time, but with another citing a different 7:00 PM start-time. It is recommended that you please attend the meeting and Public Hearing at the earliest possible time, and check the Piermont village government website before traveling to Village Hall: https://www.piermont-ny.gov/
 
What do I mean by “pull the pin”? Well, “pulling the pin”, when taken literally in other instances, is a militaristic or law enforcement expression evocative of violence and carnage - in the sense of an enemy combatant soldier or terrorist resigned to his own extinction pulling out the pin of a hand-grenade in order to take as many innocents with him as possible.

Yet as a metaphor, “pulling the pin” can also describe the unwanted adversarial actions of a disgruntled terminated employee, or a domestic partner departing in anger, or any other malicious saboteur intent upon making his mark when leaving. That said, meet exiting Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker. Tucker has already indicated to News 12 that he is not running for re-election:
Moreover, according to the Rockland County Board of Elections, no petitions were timely submitted this past week in support of any Bruce Tucker primary bid towards re-election. Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker already has one foot out the door – and he knows that he was driven out.
 
Accompanying this Blog post below are seven (7) “.jpeg” documents - comprised of three (3) Piermont Village Hall documents titled “Notice Of Public Hearing”, plus one (1) supplemental notice posted to a different location on the Piermont Village Hall website regarding the so-called “Piermont Comprehensive Plan”. Take them together as one packet. 

The take-away? Departing Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker is trying to ram-through dramatic and harmful changes to Piermont before he leaves office.
 
When you scrutinize the below seven (7) “.jpeg” documents, here is what you can deduce:
 
1. The “Tax Cap” Notice. Bruce Tucker and his unsavory pals on the Village of Piermont Board of Trustees are setting up Piermont resident taxpayers for a new and major incremental tax hit this summer, once again busting through the tax levy limit or “tax cap”. You may recall that Tucker and his Village Hall cronies did this to Piermont taxpaying residents last year as well, leading to a tax increase of 6.9% and up:
Since then, we learned that Tucker misspent Piermont into what is roughly a US$9,000,000 Net Position retrograde hole, since he took mayoral office in 2018:
Since then, we also learned that the iconic Piermont Pier tip, perhaps the greatest attraction in Rockland County, is crumbling into the Hudson River, and that it will cost millions of dollars to rebuild or fix it. This was due to Bruce Tucker's failure to regularly and timely cause inspections to the Piermont Pier during his failed mayoral reign since 2018:
Piermont resident taxpayers could be hit with a massive Bruce Tucker tax increase in a few short weeks - and in fairness, the responsibility for that will be the responsibility of the Piermont residents unless they show up on Tuesday night and vociferously oppose Mayor Tucker’s recidivist busting of the tax cap.
 
2. “Lead Agency”. You will see that the last substantive paragraph of the Tax Cap Notice seeks to establish the Piermont Board of Trustees as “Lead Agency” for environmental law purposes. This text looks so incongruous relative to the tax cap verbiage preceding it, that a reader will wonder if it was actually included in the Tax Cap Notice by mistake. Yet the “Lead Agency” paragraph is included in each of the three accompanying “Notice Of Public Hearing” documents, and that is not a good thing for anyone, in any of the three contexts. Bruce Tucker is the same guy who wants to allow the construction of an ugly three-story building that looks like a “Motel 6” or a “Super 8”, upon the site of a former Sunoco gasoline station that had underground gasoline tanks:
Allowing Bruce Tucker and his Village Hall minions to seize “Lead Agency” status on any environmental matter, would be the equivalent of designating Ernest Hemingway as one's sobriety coach:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/02/no-mayor-theres-nothing-kind-of-funny.html
 
3. The Parking Notice. In the accompanying second “Notice Of Public Hearing”, you will see that Bruce Tucker and his Village Hall sycophants are also hastening to eliminate the parking in front of 453 Piermont Avenue. This is a direct assault on, and insult to, local businesses and local residents.
 
4. The “CBM” And “FILOP” Notice. The accompanying third “Notice Of Public Hearing” is the most offensive and the most unlawful. The therein-described initiative seeks to edit the phrase “village owned” out of the Piermont Village Code in connection with the ill-conceived Piermont “FILOP” program. However, in classic and now-predictable Bruce Tucker “Trojan Horse” fashion, this third notice once again seeks to resuscitate the dead “Central Business Multi-Use” or “CBM” Zoning District through subterfuge. Departing Mayor Bruce Tucker thereby seeks to somehow validate the infamous 447-477 Piermont Avenue construction project which virtually no one in Piermont other than Tucker actually wants. Bruce Tucker and the “Comprehensive Plan Committee” have been pulling this same numbing recidivist shenanigan over the past several months when repeatedly seeking to re-introduce “CBM” textual references into multiple successive drafts of the Piermont Comprehensive Plan, too. Yet what Tucker and his contemptible Village Hall toadies are doing in this regard, is completely unlawful. On October 10, 2024, Honorable Hal B. Greenwald, Justice of the New York State Supreme Court, ordered and adjudged that the CBM District was null, void, and jurisdictionally invalid. Young et al. v. Village of Piermont (Sup. Ct. Rockland Co., Index #032252-2024):
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-courts-decision-in-young-v-village.html
That's right. By law, the CBM does not exist, and never existed. Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker’s continued efforts to revivify CBM are violative of Justice Greenwald’s October 10, 2024 decision, and violative of the now-settled law of Rockland County and New York State.
 
5. The Comprehensive Plan Notice. The Piermont Comprehensive Plan is an amateurish initiative:
We all know what is happening. The Comprehensive Plan - and its embedded CBM land-mine - are being bum-rushed at Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker’s behest. Tucker is but a one-trick pony. His Trojan Horse ploy is to sneak-in the awful 447-477 Piermont Avenue over-development. Again, the 447-477 Piermont Avenue project is intended to be built over the site of a former Sunoco gasoline station which had underground gasoline tanks:
This would make Tucker’s attempt to seize environmental “Lead Agency” status laughable if it were not such a deadly serious matter otherwise. In any event, the Piermont Comprehensive Plan cannot and should not move forward until and after exiting Mayor Bruce Tucker and his Piermont Village Hall flunkies are long gone from office. These feckless faux-bureaucrats cannot be trusted with a set of decisions this massive, which will have such long-lasting impact on the Village of Piermont throughout all of our respective lives and beyond. Moreover, what Tucker and his gang are collectively doing, is nothing other than purposefully-deceptive and malicious. That is the only way that they govern.
 
With this memo I am asking everyone who cares about the beautiful and historic Village of Piermont to please attend the multi-topic meeting and Public Hearing currently scheduled for this coming Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 7:00 PM at Piermont Village Hall. At this meeting and Public Hearing please take every lawful opportunity during any "Public Comment" period to voice your clamorous opposition to the matters iterated in the three “Notice Of Public Hearing” documents, to the “CBM Zone”, to the “Piermont Comprehensive Plan”, to the 447-477 Piermont Avenue over-development, and to Mayor Bruce Tucker's failed and despicable mayoral regime generally. 

Bruce Tucker needs to hear it from you. It’s time.
 
Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker is in the process of ruining the Village of Piermont. The damage to the village could be inflicted permanently at Tuesday night’s meeting and Public Hearing. Mayor Tucker intends to ram these manifold awful initiatives through, leaving no alternative other than further expensive litigation in the courts. Yet the outcome of litigation is always uncertain. In other words, Piermont could be lost to over-development and other harm, this coming Tuesday night. 

All because Bruce Tucker is pulling the pin.
 
Thank you for your careful consideration of this all-important matter.
 
Please attend Tuesday night’s meeting and Public Hearing. The future of Piermont is once again at stake.

Re:
Citizen Demand For Investigation Pursuant To NYS Election Law §3-104
2025 Piermont Petitions For Michael Emerson Wright
Investigation Of Barbara Scheulen, Piermont Democratic Committee Chair
Investigation Of Michael Emerson Wright, Piermont Trustee
 
Dear CEC Johnson, and Chair Lifton:
 
Pursuant to NYS Election Law (ELN) §3-104:
there is substantial reason for me to believe that violations of the law may have been perpetrated by a candidate and by a political committee in the Village of Piermont, New York.
 
That candidate is Michael Emerson Wright:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-p-nysboe-investigation-wright.html

That political committee is the Piermont Democratic Committee, chaired by one Barbara Scheulen of Piermont, New York:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-o-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-nysboe-investigation-wright-and.html
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-b-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Attached/enclosed and annexed hereto are fourteen (14) pages of ugly and grossly-defective petition documents relating to political candidate Michael Emerson Wright alias “Michael Wright” alias “Michael Andrews” (hereafter, the “Wright Petitions”). As you may already be aware, Mister Wright is an incumbent member of the Piermont, New York Board of Trustees. I gather that Trustee Wright is now seeking to run in a Democratic primary scheduled for June 24, 2025, towards his hope of re-election as Piermont Trustee in November, 2025. The Village of Piermont, as you know, is situated within the Town of Orangetown, New York.
 
Other residents of the Town of Orangetown and I, are aghast at the obvious manifold errors and omissions in the Wright Petitions. As you can readily see from the attached/enclosed, the Wright Petitions were apparently submitted to the Rockland County Board of Elections (RCBOE) in support of Trustee Wright by one Barbara Scheulen, Chair of the Piermont Democratic Committee (PDC); by a “Mark Silberstein” of Piermont; by a “Susan S. Witte” of Piermont; by Piermont Planning Board Member Donald H. Guyton; by Trustee Michael Emerson Wright himself; and by disgraced Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker. I understand that Mayor Tucker is not running in the primary and not running for re-election.
 
A photo-directory of some of these individuals may be found here at this Internet URL:

This is a demand for an immediate CEC, DELE, and NYSBOE investigation of the activities and conduct of Barbara Scheulen, an investigation of the activities and conduct of Michael Emerson Wright, an investigation of the conduct of the PDC, and an investigation generally into the abysmal collective effort by multiple parties to submit the Wright Petitions to RCBOE as reflected in Exhibit “A” through Exhibit “N” hereto.
 
1. Indecipherable Signatures. Most importantly, I am seeking an investigation into the actual names (if any) of the individuals who apparently sought to affix their signatures to the attached/enclosed Wright Petitions - because, at minimum, the following sixty-eight (68) signatures are illegible and indecipherable:
 
Exhibit “C”:    Lines 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-c-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Exhibit “D”:    Lines 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-d-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Exhibit “E”:    Lines 1, 2, 3:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-e-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Exhibit “F”:    Lines 3, 4, 5, 9, 10:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-f.html
 
Exhibit “G”:    Lines 3, 5:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-g-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Exhibit “H”:    Lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-h-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Exhibit “I”:     Lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-i-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Exhibit “J”:     Lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-j-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Exhibit “K”:    Lines 1, 11.
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-k-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Exhibit “L”:    Lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-l-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Exhibit “M”:   Lines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-m-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
Exhibit “N”:    Lines 6, 8, 9, 11, 12:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-n-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
 
I find it appalling that at least sixty-eight (68) signatures on the Wright Petitions submitted to RCBOE, are illegible and indecipherable. The candidates opposing Trustee Wright are absolutely entitled to know the identities of these sixty-eight (68) apparent signatories, and are absolutely entitled to be given the meaningful opportunity to verify the respective identities and respective residences of those signatories within the Village of Piermont.
 
Obviously anyone who has ever tried to decipher a physician’s handwritten prescription from a prescription-pad, knows that a cursive signature written in haste can sometimes be a challenge. However, these petition signature-entries were not written in haste, as evidenced by the address-information inscribed next to each one. Moreover, while one or two fuzzy signatures might be explicable, a total of no less than sixty-eight (68) illegible and indecipherable signatures on petitions corresponding to a hotly-contested primary cannot ever be. Rather, the sixty-eight (68) illegible and indecipherable petition signatures strongly suggest a concerted attempt to deceive and conceal, on the part of those individuals responsible for submitting them to RCBOE. Those individuals need to be held accountable.
 
2. “Peirmont”[sic]. You will also please note that at the top of Exhibit “A”, titled “Petition Receipt 2025”, someone, presumably either Rockland County Board of Elections Commissioner Weinraub, or perhaps PDC Chair Barbara Scheulen herself, appears to have correctly circled the word “Village” but then misspelled the name of the “Village” as “Peirmont”[sic]. I am aware of no municipality, jurisdiction, or other location within Rockland County, New York actually named “Peirmont”[sic]. Incidentally, I note here that on the equivalent “Petition Receipt 2025” forms submitted for other Piermont candidates Mitchell, Gordon, and McCabe, a correctly-spelled “Piermont” was identified as the “Village” to which those latter candidacies pertain. In any event, this SNAFU should be investigated as well.
 
3. Name Strike-Throughs. Additionally, I note that the names “Rondi Casey”, “Mark Silberstein”, and “Barbara Scheulen” were sloppily crossed-out in Exhibit “C”, Exhibit “G”, and Exhibit “H”, respectively:

https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/04/exhibit-h-nysboe-investigation-wright.html
These "changes of heart" should be investigated as well.
 
4. Address Strike-Through. Additionally, I note that the wholly-indecipherable signature at Line #6 of Exhibit “J”, was crossed-out and changed from “130 Piermont Pl” and replaced by “Crescent Rd”:

This "change of heart" should be investigated as well.
 
I will appreciate a response from you as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for protecting the interests of the people of Piermont, Orangetown, and New York State.
 
Respectfully, and with thanks,

John J. Tormey III, Esq.
