Re: The Ongoing Audit Of Piermont And Outgoing Mayor Bruce Tucker

Dear Ms. Crisafulli, and OSC Colleagues:
 
This letter, for me, will be uncharacteristically brief. Yet I want to please make you aware that today I uploaded some documents that I sourced from the Internet, Pro Publica, and the New York State Board of Elections website, regarding outgoing Piermont, New York Mayor Bruce Tucker. They are found here:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2025/09/behold-piermont-garmento-mayor-bruce.html
 
I realize that you and your OSC colleagues may have already reviewed and considered these same records.
 
I am admittedly no expert on political campaign finance, and I certainly have no personal knowledge of how Bruce Tucker may have financed his mayoral campaigns other than supposition. However, I believe that there are already ample concerns about Mayor Tucker and his activities expressed on the public record and already unearthed by OSC’s Risk Assessment and Audit, such that a plenary OSC examination of Tucker’s campaign finance activity from 2017 to the present day is also warranted. I therefore ask that Bruce Tucker’s campaign finance activity be included as one of the topics of the OSC Audit of Piermont, to the extent not already occurring.
 
Thank you for your continued work and your careful attention to this matter.
 
Very truly yours,

John J. Tormey III, Esq.
