The recent neglect of the Piermont Pier is coterminous with Bruce Tucker’s 7 years in office as Piermont Mayor. Tucker’s Thanksgiving Day post indicates that the Village may be seeking “grants” to rebuild the Piermont Pier tip... Wait a minute... “Grants”?... This is the same guy who claimed in an April 2024 Trustees meeting and in a subsequent press interview that he had US$3.2 million dollars banked as an “unassigned Fund Balance”, while refusing to convey the bulk of it back to resident taxpayers hit with a 6.9% tax increase this year. So why would Bruce Tucker need “grants” if he has US$3.2 million dollars banked?... Oh yeah... I forgot... He needs what is left of the “unassigned Fund Balance” to continue to litigate the CBM Zone against his own people... So then why doesn’t Mayor Bruce Tucker instead just float some more municipal bonds to pay for the Pier tip reconstruction?... Oh yeah... I forgot... Because the New York State Comptroller currently has Tucker and Piermont government under “Risk Assessment” investigation for, inter alia, spending Piermont into a negative US$7.6 million dollar “Net Position” hole… Surprised? No one should be. After all, 7 years ago, Piermont voters elected an infamous sheet salesman out of Elizabeth, New Jersey to be their Mayor - a sheet salesman who actually falsified thread-counts on his wholesale sheet sales, and who got popped for it by The Wall Street Journal and Good Housekeeping in 2006. The “Garmento Mayor” blog provides all the remaining sordid details.
Does the Piermont family have any connections to the upkeep???
