Re: New York State Comptroller Audit Of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Village Of Piermont
 
Dear Attorney Sullivan, and Colleagues:
 
Further to my prior communications with the 
United States Department of Justice regarding the Village of Piermont in Rockland County, New York:
Mr. Thomas DiNapoli’s Office of the New York State Comptroller (OSC) is commencing an Audit of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Village of Piermont:

This significant action follows OSC’s commencement of a “Risk Assessment” of Piermont in 2024. The “Risk Assessment” was made known to the public some time after its initiation. My understanding is that although the “Risk Assessment” has already taken numerous months, its last portion may itself nevertheless still remain to be completed by OSC.
 
My further understanding is that this new development, though – that is, the OSC Audit of Piermont - has yet to be publicly-communicated by the New York State Comptroller or by any local mainstream media to date. Rather, the OSC Audit of Piermont was instead quietly revealed by Piermont government itself, appearing to have been buried as “Item #5” in a newly-discovered document recently uploaded to the Village of Piermont’s Internet website reflecting minutes (labeled “DRAFT”) of the Village’s sparsely-attended June 10, 2025 Board of Trustees meeting. You will find a copy of those minutes attached/enclosed hereto with the mailed copy of this letter. You may also find a copy of the minutes as linked below:

Thank you to you and your colleagues for your attention to this matter.
 
Very truly yours,
