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

In this video, Michael Wright first self-servingly reminded the Tuesday night 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 debate table.
Michael Wright IS the Piermont Village Hall
government!
In other words, in the video, Michael Wright is actually asking the Piermont voters to re-elect him as a Trustee - so that 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 alias "Michael Andrews" had four
years in office already to fix that mess. 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 supplicant position of Bruce Tucker’s sycophant on the Piermont Village Board of Trustees:
1. Your Village Floods-Out. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, Piermont residents have seen their village regularly flooded-out with no cure in sight, resorting to putting some houses up on stilts at owner expense.
2. Your Village Is Greedily Over-Developed. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, Piermont residents have seen developers run roughshod over the once-quaint and one-picturesque historic village – and almost constructing a three-story Motel 6-esque monstrosity over a Sunoco gasoline station site that once had underground gasoline tanks. Michael Wright did absolutely nothing to stop this destructive development initiative.
3. Your Village Wasted Your Money To Litigate Against You. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, the Village government spent what is estimated to be in excess of US$100,000 to litigate a fake zone known as the "CBM" against Piermont's own taxpaying residents - an utterly malicious waste of money.
4. Your Village Increased Your Taxes. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, Piermont residents saw their taxes shoot up in 2024.
5. Your Village Went Almost Ten Million Dollars In Net Position Retrograde. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, Piermont residents suffered a massive “Net Position” accounting retrograde, putting Piermont in a "Net Position" hole of millions of dollars.
6. Your Village Operates As If In The Eastern Bloc. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, Piermont residents suffered the most opaque and concealing local government since the other side of the Berlin Wall.
7. Your Village Triggered The New York State Comptroller. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime,
Piermont residents have seen auditors from the Office of the New York State
Comptroller (OSC) swoop into Village Hall to re-do the farkakte financial
methodologies of the existing “Administration”, due to Village Hall's recidivist failure year after year to timely file financials with OSC.
8. Your Pier Tip Crumbled Into The Hudson Under Village Watch. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, Piermont residents suffered the crumbling of the concrete Piermont Pier tip into the Hudson River, due to an utter failure to maintain the historic and iconic landmark.
9. Your Sparkill Creek Suffered A Toxic Spill Under Village Watch. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, Piermont residents suffered the pouring of oil into the Sparkill Creek last summer, with no plausible plan thereafter offered to prevent comparable re-occurrences.
10. Your Village Runs A Corrupt And Ineffective Parking Scheme. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, Piermont residents suffered the most corrupted and ineffective overall parking scheme since the days of Donald Manes.
11. Your Village actually Threatened To Pave-Over A Little League Ballfield. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, local government actually threatened to pave-over the little league field for parking last summer.
12. Your Village Wasted Your Resources On An Amateurish Comprehensive Plan. Under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, tons of resources in the form of money and time were wasted to try to rush through an amateurish "Comprehensive Plan", now completely vulnerable to judicial and collateral attack.
Most importantly, under the Michael Wright-Bruce Tucker regime, there has been a total loss of confidence in Piermont local government. Michael Wright is directly responsible for that loss of confidence - whether you want to call him "Michael Wright", "Michael Andrews", or some other appropriate moniker:
The Piermont, New York Democratic primary is on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, as part of the statewide primary election - and I am now informed that early voting commences this Saturday, June 14, 2025:
If and assuming that you are a Democrat registered to vote in Piermont, New York, then, at your earliest available opportunity, please make sure
that you DUMP Michael Wright as Piermont Village Trustee and vote him out of
office.
