| CORRUPT CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT MARCUS GRIFFITH |
On Friday January 2, 2015
Mayor Ernie Davis ensured that corruption and the money train would continue to
move long after he is sentenced to jail later this month.
Marcus Griffith, who only
received 25% of the vote when he ran against Maureen Walker for Comptroller,
was sworn in as the next City Council President. There was a deliberate and skilled attempt by
Councilmembers Roberta Apuzzo, Yuhanna Edwards, and Marcus Griffith to block
Richard Thomas and Deborah Reynolds from becoming City Council Presidents.
The last few years, Mount
Vernon residents saw a ping-pong match between Councilmembers Yuhanna Edwards
and Roberta Apuzzo being installed as President of the City Council. Councilman Yuhanna Edwards and Roberta Apuzzo
have been Council Presidents for the last 5 years.
Conflicts of interest do
exist in the City of Mount Vernon and it is the standard and normal way of
doing business in the City of Mount Vernon.
It is common knowledge the Mayor Davis and Roberta Apuzzo have been
alleged to be having an extra-marital affair for years, and Councilman Yuhanna
Edwards may be mentally ill and unable to continue to serve. On several occasions, especially during his
campaign for City Council and Mayor, Yuhanna Edwards told stories of how he
used to kill people in Vietnam while he was in war. Such erratic behavior falls inline with
people who are suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome). Councilman Edwards must come clean and
resign if he indeed in diagnosed with PTSD.
That could explain why Yuhanna Edwards never makes any sense when
addressing the public at City Council Meetings.
Was Councilman Yuhanna Edwards exposed to agent orange while in Vietnam?
Mayor Davis' latest hand picked
puppet picked to replace his alleged long time mistress Roberta Apuzzo, is under
Federal investigation for extortion and official misconduct. Sources say that City Council President
Marcus Griffith's wife rented out a school to host one of her for-profit events
and was supposed to reimburse taxpayers for the rental of the school facility
which is owned by the Mount Vernon City School District which is ultimately
owned by City of Mount Vernon taxpayers.
When a bill was generated
and sent out to his wife for payment, City Council President Marcus Griffith,
in a fit of rage, stormed the Business Office at the Mount Vernon Board of
Education and demanded that the bill be "wiped away". Several employees that were present during
Council President Griffith's violent rage reported to Mount Vernon Exposed that
Marcus Griffith even invoked his official status as a City Councilmember, and
even went so far as to say that when he is sworn in as City Council President,
that there would be no cooperation between the City of Mount Vernon and the
Mount Vernon City School District. City
Council President Marcus Griffith was in his official capacity as a
Councilmember when he visited the Board of Education.
Griffith’s troubles don't
end there. Griffith came under fire when
investigators from Mount Vernon Exposed called a tenant that resides in a
property he owns at 115 E. Forth Street.
The tenant described Griffith as a slumlord and says that he fails to
provide adequate heat during the winter months.
Roaches and mice also are a severe problem in Griffith's building
according to the tenant.
Griffith was also cited by
the FCC for having an illegal radio station broadcast from his building at the
same location.
The scary part is that Marcus Griffith will become Mayor in the event that Ernie Davis must resign or is sentenced to jail. Mount Vernon is in trouble.
Send Marcus to jail with
Mayor Davis, perhaps they can become cellmates and trade crime stories about
how they ruined the great city of Mount Vernon.
