Re:
New York State Comptroller AUDIT Of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Village Of Piermont
CUSIP Base #720798 [CUSIP 720798HC4] - The Village of Piermont, New York – Municipal Bonds
 
Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
 
Further to my prior correspondence regarding the financial condition and bond rating of 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:

https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/02/mayor-bojangles-tucker-i-drinks-bit.html
 
The significant new OSC Audit action taken against the Village of Piermont and Mayor Bruce Tucker follows in time, as you will recall, 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:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2024/11/newsflash-office-of-new-york-state.html
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 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:
https://cms9files1.revize.com/piermont/DRAFT%20BOT%20Meeting%20Minutes%20June%2010th,%202025.pdf
https://www.piermont-ny.gov/government/agendas_and_minutes.php
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/07/exclusive-new-york-state-comptroller.html
 
While neither the Village of Piermont’s outgoing Mayor Bruce Tucker nor the New York State Comptroller have yet fully informed the resident taxpayers of Piermont or other members of the public what the full parameters, subject-matter, and scope of the Piermont Audit may actually be – we nevertheless now can deduce at least three very important things about the Piermont Audit:
 
1. Procurement. The Office of the New York State Comptroller auditors are scrutinizing Bruce Tucker’s and the Village of Piermont’s procurement practices vel non:
https://cms9files1.revize.com/piermont/DRAFT%20BOT%20Meeting%20Minutes%20June%2010th,%202025.pdf
 
2. Expenditures. The Office of the New York State Comptroller auditors are chasing down Piermont Mayor Bruce Tucker's expenditures:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/07/news-12-exclusive-ace-reporter-katerina.html
 
3. Insufficiency Of The Risk Assessment Alone. The Office of the New York State Comptroller auditors clearly have determined that the results of the multi-month “Risk Assessment” of Piermont initiated last year, were insufficient to provide the Comptroller’s office adequate comfort that Mayor Bruce Tucker handled Piermont’s finances correctly and appropriately during his 7+ year failed mayoral reign.
 
Law enforcement agencies have been alerted to the existence of the NYS Comptroller Audit of the financial practices of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Piermont:

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

John J. Tormey III, Esq.
