Re: New York State Comptroller Audit Of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Village Of Piermont
 
Dear Ms. Vernon:
 
Further to my prior communications with the 
Office of the New York State Attorney General and specifically, your Public Integrity Bureau:
and as you may already be aware, Mr. Thomas DiNapoli’s Office of the New York State Comptroller (OSC) is commencing an Audit of Mayor Bruce Tucker’s Village of Piermont, New York:

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 the new development, though – that is, the OSC Audit of Piermont - has yet to be publicly-communicated by the Comptroller or by any local mainstream media to date. Rather, the OSC Audit of Piermont was instead quietly revealed by Piermont government, 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 for your continued attention to this matter.
 
Very truly yours,
