What Now?

 
Some are wondering “What now?” - now that Piermont residents have dismantled Village Hall and Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker (pictured above, in his usual pose) in the 447-477 Piermont Avenue and CBM zone litigation.
 
First, everyone must remain vigilant, in that Village government and the developer might seek to appeal Friday’s court decision, or try to end-run around the likely-ensuing County rejection of the 447 development and CBM zone.
 
Second, I am distributing the Piermont litigation news story to all available outlets, not just on social media, but in New York City, the Hudson Valley, and New York State generally. Residents of other communities need to know that they too can beat sketchy overdevelopers and the crooked small-time governments that enable them like Piermont’s. If you have news contacts too, then by all means please use them now.
 
Third, I am bringing a copy of Justice Greenwald’s written decision and order to every entity that publishes legal opinions, including the official reporters, NY Law Journal, LEXIS, Westlaw, Casetext, Findlaw, the state and national bar associations, and the law reviews at all New York law schools. All future counsel should be versed in how to defeat overdevelopment rooted in GML-referral malfeasance perpetrated by a crooked small-time government like Piermont’s.
 
Fourth, every lawful step must and will be taken to assure that Bruce Edward Tucker is dislodged, disgorged, and excised from the mayoral office that he currently and temporarily occupies, and furthermore, to ensure that Tucker never holds any public office in New York State or anywhere else again. The fact that he just wasted at least six figures worth of your resources as innocent taxpayers to litigate a loser of a case that he cannibalistically fought against his own constituents and neighbors, is absolutely reprehensible.

There are those soft, touchy-feely neighbors in your Piermont midst who now speak of a desire to “work with” Tucker and Village government. But those neighbors are conflicted obsequious flunkies, typically beholden to Tucker and his Village Hall cronies for antecedent reasons. Rather, what the events of the last six months in Piermont should have convinced everyone, is that you almost got permanently hustled by a concerted group of malevolent individuals. They almost destroyed your Village. This is not a cute little mid-morning brunch. You’re up against the functional equivalent of organized crime - spearheaded by a bumbling but horribly untrustworthy sheet and towel salesman out of Elizabeth, New Jersey who has pretended to be your mayor for the last 6.5 years. He continues to threaten to destroy your Village. You can sit and watch.
 
Or you can get up and do something to stop him.
