Garmento Leaves Sculptress Holding Million-Dollar Bag.

This one is HYSTERICAL.
 
You will recall the Bruce Tucker million-dollar accounting screw-up reflected in the Berard & Associates reporting:

Perhaps this gaffe was what compelled the Piermont Village Board to recently consider using an alternate accounting firm going forward - only to then appear to back away in fear once Tucker and the Board realized how much cheaper the Berard & Associates services would be. From the April 15 draft Piermont Village Board minutes:
Because Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker likes to do things on the cheap, when it comes to what he thinks is his OWN personal piggy-bank. That’s why the concrete Piermont Pier tip is now crumbling into the Hudson River, and it could cost as much as twelve to fifteen million dollars to replace it in its concrete incarnation.
 
In any event, outgoing exiting lame-duck Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker had to humiliate himself once again, when compelled to circulate and publish the below “Continuing Disclosure Statement” dated January 21, 2025. Please read it.
 
And never mind the fact that the Bruce Tucker administration is responsible for a million-dollar error out of a total Village of Piermont annual budget of about seven million dollars and change – because what’s a million dollars when your associated not-for-profit “Civic Association” is begging residents for ten thousand dollars for Christmas lights, right? The Tucker-supervised financial disclosure statement SNAFU is just a million-dollar error between friends, right?
 
The likelihood is that Rondi Casey probably still thought Bruce Tucker was her friend until she read this Blog post just now.

The likelihood is that Rondi Casey had no idea Tucker was propping her up for inclusion in the below-posted malignant financial statement for ultimate public broadcast and resulting historical posterity and ignominy - when Tucker asked Rondi to help him out and fill-in on a temporary basis as Village of Piermont Trustee late last year after Nate Mitchell abruptly quit as Trustee.

But Bruce Tucker propped her up, all right.

Rondi Casey became a Village of Piermont Trustee effective October 8, 2024:
The Sculptress then essentially "termed out" at the end of the 2024 calendar year. Yet those few months were just enough for Rondi Casey to sink into the fetid quagmire of Bruce Tucker's political barbecue grease.

In the context of the below January 21, 2025 Piermont government “Continuing Disclosure Statement”, then, it is hysterical how Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker set-up Sculptress Ex-DisTrustee Rondi Marie Casey to ride right along with him and his garish million-dollar accounting FUBAR, right in the same clown-car.

As his PATSY:

To recap - Tucker said, “Help me, Rondi”.
 
Rondi the Sculptress dutifully complied – just like every Tucker-allied sycophant previously called-out on this Blog has complied, each and every time Mayor Bruce has asked them for something:

And now, as a result, as one of the current co-stars of the newest 2025 Piermont “Continuing Disclosure Statement”, Sculptress Rondi Casey must be congratulated. Rondi Casey now goes down in history as one of seven infamous Piermont “public officials” who put their name to a million-dollar municipal finance accounting blunder - in the context of a 2,500-person village with an annual budget of seven million dollars and change. It's right here:
But what’s a million dollars between friends?

And speaking of "audited" - didn't Rondi Casey consider the possibility that by agreeing to be pro tempore erstazt Piermont Trustee effective October 8, 2024, she would thereby be swept-up into any inquiries, investigations, and proceedings of Piermont finances and Bruce Tucker initiated by the public sector - like, for example, the "Risk Assessment" of the auditors from the Office of the New York State Comptroller (OSC)?

Oh yeah. That's right. She's a SCULPTRESS.
 
Right now, the auditors from the Office of the New York State Comptroller's office are realizing how much alike "wheel throwing" really is to Mayor Bruce Tucker's propagation of Piermont financial statements - you put a mound of crap in front of you and then you spin it - into another mound of crap.
