“UNHAND PIERMONT!” TO PIERMONT NY MAYOR
BRUCE TUCKER: RESIGN NOW!
QRNewswire/Rockland County, NY:
Unhand Piermont! and Hudson Valley community advocate John J. Tormey III, Esq. are demanding the immediate resignation of Bruce Edward Tucker, the beleaguered Village of Piermont mayor.
Said
Tormey:
“In
Bruce Tucker’s dysfunctional six-and-one-half years as mayor of Piermont, New
York (CUSIP BASE #720798), he has sold out the once-idyllic village and its
residents to unsavory out-of-state real estate developers, destroyed the
character and functionality of the village, mortgaged away the futures of
generations of future Piermont residents with gross and reckless overspending,
taken village government deep into the hole from a US$800,000 Net Position surplus
in 2017 to a negative US$7,600,000 Net Position, facilitated environmental
harm, and utterly failed to remediate the ubiquitous flooding of this Hudson
River community thereby threatening the health, property, and safety of its residents
– actually causing some of them to rebuild on stilts. Bruce Tucker’s hapless reign
as mayor of Piermont is a disgrace, it will not stand, and it must come to an
end immediately”.
“The
tipping-point was Piermont’s enablement of a New Jersey developer and builder
intending to construct an abysmal multi-story 14-unit residential behemoth smack
in the center of the already-overcrowded historic and picturesque Village,
while paving-over a former Sunoco gasoline station site that had underground
gasoline tanks - all in proximity to a former Superfund site. Tucker and his
feckless local government thereafter failed to properly oversee development
activity at another Piermont location, leading to a harmful oil spill directly into
the ecologically-sensitive Sparkill Creek. The people of Piermont need an
opportunity to right their own ship, and deserve a far better captain than the
likes of a Joseph Hazelwood or a Francesco Schettino”.
“Bruce
Tucker is a former sheet and towel salesman – a home goods garmento out of
Elizabeth, New Jersey – who was somehow elected by default given a dearth of
other plausible candidates. He is the wrong man for the job. While Tucker will
undoubtedly be voted out of Piermont Village Hall when his current two-year
term is up in 2025, he needs to recognize the great harm that he has already caused
the people and the Village of Piermont, New York. He needs to resign now”.
