About 7 years ago, The City of Mount Vernon received monies
to start the rehabilitation of Memorial Field.
Now 7 years later, Memorial Field is still in shambles with mounds of
dirt piled more than 10 feet high.
A Mount Vernon taxpayer tipped Mount Vernon Exposed off to a scheme-taking
place at Memorial Field that may end up costing Mount Vernon taxpayers millions
of dollars. Water Commissioner Anthony
Bove has been named project manager for Memorial Field. This is in addition to his taxpayer paid
position as water commissioner. Commissioner
Bove lacks the basic constructions and knowledge to hold the position of
project manager. Prior to becoming Water
Commissioner, Bove made pizza from his shop on East Third Street.

The insider told Mount Vernon Exposed that the dirt piled
high in Memorial Field did not come from Memorial Field but instead unmarked
trucks are carting it in. The carters
are friends of Bove. The insider said
that he had direct knowledge that Bove was being paid to look the other way to
let his friends dump contaminated dirt at Memorial Field. As project manager, Bove is responsible for
ordering supplies through various vendors. The insider told Mount Vernon Exposed that the
dirt being carted is contaminated with mercury, asbestos, oil, and other
hazardous chemicals.
Mount Vernon Exposed decided to check out Memorial Field to
see what the fuss was about. Mount
Vernon Exposed got to Memorial Field at approximately 10:30 A.M. on Tuesday,
November 3, 2015 (Election Day) to inspect the allegations of contaminated
dirt. Upon entering Memorial Field, Mount Vernon Exposed immediately notice the
enormous mound of dirt and big boulders all over the place.
Mount Vernon Exposed also noticed Commissioner Bove's car
parked near the entrance of Memorial Field.
That was surprising because City Hall was closed because of Election Day.
Mount Vernon Exposed then approached Commissioner Bove
regarding the dirt and asked him if he had a manifest from where the dirt was
purchased. Bove, unable to answer the
questions, gave a series of silly answers that absolutely made no sense
whatsoever.
Bove was also questioned about why was the acceptance of
dirt was not on any City Council meeting agenda, as the City Council and the
Board of Estimate must approve all gifts and purchases made by the City of
Mount Vernon.
Sources have told Mount Vernon Exposed that the Department
of Environmental Protection (D.E.P.) was contacted to investigate the
contaminated dirt.
If the dirt is found to be contaminated, it will cost the
City of Mount Vernon taxpayers an exorbitant amount of money to cure and clean
up the mess created because of the greed of Commissioner Bove.
Bove has been no stranger to controversy. Bove made headlines last year when he
illegally gave himself a raise that was not approved by the City Council or The
Board of Estimate. Bove's secretary
paid herself overtime that was approved by Bove and ended up getting arrested
and prosecuted.
Bove is a mad man out of control shaking down everyone in
sight around town. Bove who is prone to
taking bribes is also quite the extortionist.
An employee is Bove's office, Anthony Della Mura, passed the required
civil service examination for his respected position.
Della Mura was one of the top three scores, which makes him
eligible to be appointed to the position.
Civil service law allows the hiring authority to appoint from the top
three scores to the position.
Instead of appointing Della Mura to the position he
rightfully earned and deserved, Bove thought of a get rich quick scheme to put
some fast cash in his pocket.
Bove demanded a $10K cash payment from Della Mura to be
appointed to the position he had passed the test for. According to the source, Bove even suggested
that Della Mura provide the payment to him in installments: $5,000 upfront and
the final payment of $5,000 after the appointment goes through.
Federal investigators must probe city hall to put an end to
this corruption once and for all. People like Bove who masquerade as public
servants, but in actuality are lining their own pockets, belong in jail.
