During the one-and-a-half hour “debate” between
Piermont Board of Trustee candidates this past Tuesday night, incumbent Michael
Emerson Wright alias “Michael Andrews” descended to even newer depths of
hypocrisy. Please watch this video of the event:

When you watch this video, watch how Michael Wright merely parrots the stated concerns of the other two Trustee candidates, and merely parrots the concerns of those citizens who stood up to voice theirs:

Self-servingly, Michael Wright first reminded the crowd in Village Hall that, as between the three Board of Trustee candidates for the two available positions, only he, Michael Wright alias “Michael Andrews”, had the ignominious distinction of having already served for four (4) debased years on lame-duck Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Board of Trustees – as the only incumbent.
Michael Wright even had the gall to lament the pathetic lack of “communication” as between Piermont Village Hall government on the one hand, and Piermont’s taxpaying citizen residents on the other hand – as a reason to re-elect him as Trustee.
Yet Michael Wright is the one incumbent Piermont Trustee sitting at the table. Michael Wright IS the Piermont Village Hall government!
In other words, Michael Wright is asking the Piermont voters to re-elect him as a Trustee, so Wright can now pretend to sweep-up the disgusting mess that Wright himself already made of Piermont government, Piermont financials, and the Piermont landscape and ecosystem generally.
Michael Wright had four
years in office already to fix it. Yet Wright did nothing over those four years other than suck-up to dysfunctional
Mayor Bruce Tucker, as Tucker’s lackey and errand-boy. Pathetic.
Look at Trustee Michael Wright’s non-record over the past four years, since Wright first assumed the position of Bruce Tucker’s sycophant on the Piermont Village Board of Trustees:
