It’s time to start publishing more Piermont Records which
I FOIL’d from the Office of The New York State Comptroller a few weeks ago.
Here’s a two-and-a-half-page laugher.
This document is apparently the “Code of Ethics” which the Village of Piermont government furnished to the Office of The New York State Comptroller, when the Comptroller first presumably asked if Bruce Tucker’s mayoral administration actually followed any sort of ethical guidelines. Here are the most notable observations about the below document:
1. It's Almost Fifty Freakin' Years Old. This Piermont “Code of Ethics” unbelievably dates back to 1977, and apparently has never been updated or amended in toto since. (Its Paragraph 12-3.D. was apparently amended over thirty years ago, back in 1992, while the remainder of the document was presumably left intact). Indeed, why would Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker ever want to overhaul a document that would further tie his own hands during his sordid eight-year mayoral Pillage of Piermont? By the way, good luck finding this document on the Garmento Mayor's "transparent" Internet website.
2. The US$25 Tripwire. The apparent historical failure of Bruce Tucker and the Piermont Board of Trustees to ever overhaul the bulk of the Piermont “Code of Ethics” since 1977 to date, though, clearly works against Bruce Tucker and the current administration in one major respect. No Piermont officer or employee is allowed to accept or receive any gift of a value of US$25 or more that could influence his or her official action. Plenty of Piermont restaurant dishes are priced higher than that in 2025.

3. Bruce, Is That A Dollar Figure Or Your I.Q.? Alternatively, US$25 in 1977 is worth about US$133.27 today in 2025. Isn't it amazing that a purported business luminary like Garmento Mayor Bruce Tucker forgot to adjust upwards for inflation for the entirety of eight consecutive years?
4. Warn Jethro And Ellie Mae. The Piermont Code of Ethics applies to unpaid employees and members of any board or commission. That is a wide net, and therefore a lot of auditable bank accounts. All you Rivertown hillbillies know exactly who you are. So do I. So does OSC:

5. Gossamer-Thin. The Piermont Code of Ethics is as scant a document as one would ever expect as such. Its paucity of specificity and detail is beyond stunning. Yet even so, it alone is a sufficient instrument upon which to predicate significant audit findings.
6. Hang-Time. Mayor Bruce Tucker tried, and failed, to use this same document as a proverbial sword against his political enemy, Trustee Nate Mitchell. How ironic, that this two-and-a-half-pager has now become Mayor Bruce Tucker’s very own proverbial Sword of Damocles, not to mention that of each of his low-life sycophantic political cronies.
