WESTCHESTER DEM BOSS REGGIE LAFAYETTE SECRETLY WORKING BEHIND SCENES ON SEN. THOMPSON'S CAMPAIGN

On Thursday, September 10, 2015 Democrats in the City of Mount Vernon overwhelmingly casted their vote and support for Richard Thomas for Mayor, Andre Wallace and Lisa Copeland for City Council, and Adrian Armstrong for City Court Judge.

CLINTON YOUNG

The outcome of the Democratic Primary didn't sit well with the status quo as their power structure and the source of their income (corruption) is coming to a screeching halt. 

Unable to show good sportsmanship and support the winner of the Democratic Primary, several bitter and angry Democrats are now trying to stage a coup thinking they are going to defeat Democratic Mayoral Nominee, Richard Thomas. 

The ringleader behind the coup in for embattled Mayor Clinton Young who was the lowest vote getter in the Democratic Primary.  Young received 454 votes.  Young has been making calls around the Mount Vernon Community trying to garner support for embattled Senator Ruth Hassell Thompson who came in third place during the Democratic Primary. 

SEN. RUTH HASSELL THOMPSON

There is also another player hard at work trying to disrupt progress in the City of Mount Vernon.  Enter Lisa Copeland.  Lisa Copeland was a corrupt City Clerk who intentionally destroyed thousands of pages of documents when Federal Agents were probing Mayor Ernest Davis and Mount Vernon City Hall. 

CORUPT FORMER CITY CLERK LISA COPELAND

Clinton Young and Copeland have joined forces and now they have the key ingredients to help Ruth Hassell Thompson win the general election.  Sources have confirmed that Westchester Dem Crime Boss Reggie Lafayette is secretly working behind the scenes helping Ruth Hassell Thompson will the general election.

Reggie Lafayette must come clean at once and publicly call on Sen. Thompson, a Democrat, to abandon her campaign and to support the Democratic nominee, Richard Thomas. 

One can assume that LaFayette is working behind the scenes to help Sen. Thompson because Lafayette still is not allowing Richard Thomas and Andre Wallace access to the Mount Vernon Democratic City headquarters even though they were victorious during the primary.

BREAKING NEWS: ORGANIZED CRIME FIGURE GIVE REGGIE LAFAYETTE $300K TO PAY VOTERS TO VOTE FOR ERNIE DAVIS

WESTCHESTER DEM CRIME BOSS REGGIE LAFAYETTE

A political insider has informed Mount Vernon Exposed that Westchester Dem Crime Boss Reggie Lafayette had a secret lunch meeting with two organized crime family members on Tuesday regarding today's elections. The lunch meeting was held at Lincoln Lounge in Mount Vernon.  Lincoln Lounge is an Italian Restaurant that has been a staple in the Mount Vernon community for over 50 years.

According to the insider, the crime bosses gave Reggie Lafayette $300K cash to pay people up to $100 each to vote for Ernie Davis for Mayor and Brandon Sall for Westchester Surrogate Judge.  The people that are being paid to vote are instructed to go to several sites in Mount Vernon where key people Reggie has put in place have already been advised of the plan to defraud the entire election process.  Reggie Lafayette has been running this racketeering scheme for years and during the previous Mayoral primary election in 2011. 

The site where Reggie has placed his workers are as follow:  Levister Towers Community Room, Grimes Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School, Cecil H. Parker Elementary, Mandela High School, Unity Gardens Community Room, City Hall and Graham Elementary School.

Poll Watchers must be vigilant and challenge every vote cast at these sites.   Reggie has instructed that this scam be carried out during the day while most people are at work.  The insider said Reggie is always boasting and bragging about how they paid over 1,000 people to vote for Mayor Ernie Davis in the previous Mayoral election.

If poll watchers notice any fraud at the polling place, please take a picture of the suspect and contact the F.B.I. immediately. 

LOCATION OF SECRET MEETING WHERE $300K CASH WAS GIVEN TO REGGIE LAFAYETTE

FORMER CORRUPT MAYOR
CLINTON YOUNG

An insider from former Mayor Clinton Young's camp confirmed to Mount Vernon Exposed that the former Mayor and Sen. Ruth Hassell Thompson are only in the mayoral race to split the vote in hopes of keeping City Councilman and Mayoral candidate Richard Thomas from winning the primary.

Just how effective this shoddy plan is will soon come to light.  Voters must reject the former Mayor who was an absolute nightmare when he was in office.

A vote for Clinton Young is a vote for Mayor Ernie Davis. 

Voters must not take the candidacy of Clinton Young serious.  Clinton Young is still a bad manager of finances.  As of today, Clinton Young owes $33, 748.62 in back taxes on the property he is registered to vote at, 80 Ellwood Avenue, Mount Vernon, NY 10552.

Clinton Young also lost a parcel of property to the City of New Rochelle because he didn't pay the $18,000 tax bill. 

Voters must say NO to Clinton Young tomorrow. 

BREAKING NEWS-CITY COMMISSIONERS TO USE TAXPAYER FUNDED VEHICLES TO SHUTTLE VOTERS TO THE POLLS TOMORROW

CHIEF EDWARD STEVENSON

A City Hall insider has informed Mount Vernon Exposed that Edward Stevenson Muhammad, Chief of the Mount Vernon Fire Department and Water Commissioner Anthony Bove  will be using their taxpayer funded, city issued vehicles to shuttle voters to and from the poles tomorrow during the Democratic Primary.

Stevenson is sour that the rank and file firefighters endorsed Richard Thomas for Mayor.  Stevenson led a group of thuggish and violent Ernie Davis supporters to Councilman and Mayoral candidate Richard Thomas' press conference held at Station 1, also known as the fire department headquarters.  The rowdy group was also led by Cathlin Gleason, 2nd Vice Chairwoman of the Mount Vernon Democratic City Committee.

CATHLIN GLEASON

It has become quite obvious that Mayor Ernie Davis' campaign is on life support and as such, has resorted to desperate measures to try to win the election.  Voters must reject the thuggery that is being displayed on a daily basis from the Davis Camp.

The thuggish behavior was caught on tape by News 12 camera for the world to see. 

BREAKING NEWS: WIFE OF MOUNT VERNON CITY COURT JUDGE BILL EDWARDS ENDORSES FRANK STRENG FOR WESTCHESTER SURROGATE JUDGEHELEN

HELENA EDWARDS

Helena R. Edwards, the wife of Mount Vernon City Court Judge, The Honorable William “Bill” Edwards Bill endorses Frank Streng for Surrogate Judge. While he Code of Ethics prevents any judge from endorsing or publicly declaring their support openly for a candidate, his wife, Helena has always been her own person and has never been shy to speaking her mind.

CRIME BOSS REGGIE LAFAYETTE

“I endorse Streng for judge because his decision to run against the Corrupt Democrat regime is an indication to me that he will be fair and wouldn’t be a proxy to corruption in the judiciary,” Mrs Edwards tells Black Westchester exclusively Monday morning. “Reggie Lafayette told me at the Democratic Headquarters, when my husband ran for judge and was endorsed by the party, that my husband was going to make 1 million dollars over a ten-year period and the Democratic Party was entitled to 10 percent of that money. Therefore, I am convinced that any candidate that Reggie Lafayette endorses is part of this corruption of paying for a seat on the bench and selling justice.”

The wife of the Judge Edwards then went on the tell BW, about a story Sam Zherka did in the Westchester Guardian on this years ago. She said that “Reggie denied it and I challenged him to a lie detector test that I volunteered to take too. He did not agree to it.”

ARTICLE REGARDING REGGIE'S SHAKEDOWNS

We will reach out the Democratic Chairman to get a statement from him as well, but Mrs. Edward ends by saying she stands by her words and publicly challenges him again to a lie detector test to see who is lying here.

Frank Streng is running against Westchester Democratic endorsed Brandon Sall, who scored the coveted top line on the ballot for Westchester County Surrogate Judge in the Democratic primary, Thursday, September 10th. Sall, a politically connected Harrison attorney is also an interim appointment from Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Streng says the county Democratic Party has stacked the deck against him.

“But hey it was not supposed to be fair to me,” the Surrogate Judge underdog candidate tells BW, about Sall’s appointment. “It was supposed to control the outcome and prevent the voters from having a choice. It’s all part of a technique of bullying candidates who are not favored by the party bosses. It substituted a political insider’s preference for a public choice on the merits of the candidates. The Democratic primary can correct that.”

Streng has been seen in the Black Church circuit lately in Mount Vernon and his mobile billboard made it debut, Sunday afternoon in the Food Bazaar parking lot behind the stage at Arts On Third. It’s only fair to mention Sall also made an appearance with Chairman Lafayette, at Arts On Third as well.

The underdog is making the rounds and is believed to be gaining some momentum as of late. He received an endorsement from national black police fraternal organization, Blacks In Law Enforcement of America, Friday morning and now the wife of Judge Edwards is publicly declaring her support on Monday.

SEN. RUTH HASSELL THOMPSON CONTINUES TO CHEAT CITY OF MOUNT VERNON TAXPAYERS OUT OF BUILDING DEPARTMENT FEES

SENATOR RUTH HASSELL THOMPSON

With less than two weeks to go until Mount Vernon voters hit the polls to cast their vote in the upcoming Democratic Primary seeking to overthrow the corrupt regime of Mayor Ernest D. Davis, it appears that Westchester Crime Boss Reggie Lafayette is switching gears to make sure his crime family continues to eat for free courtesy of City of Mount Vernon taxpayers.

Realizing that Mayor Ernie Davis is dead in the water and doesn't stand a chance of being re-elected, crime boss Reggie has thrown his support behind Sen. Ruth Hassell Thompson and has instructed district leaders from the Mount Vernon Democratic City Committee to begin supporting Sen. Thompson for Mayor because Ernie is not going to win, however Crime Boss Reggie's self serving ideals is not sitting well with local district leaders who feel the Mount Vernon Democratic City Committee should have thrown their support behind former Mayor Clinton Young who had the second most votes at the Democratic Nominating Convention back in May. 

A political insider has informed Mount Vernon Exposed that Ruth Hassell Thompson is under investigation after a whistleblower in the New York State legislature tipped off federal authorities about several questionable "earmarks" or pork spending that went to various projects in her Senatorial district.  The source said officials are looking into possible kickbacks and other unusual "quid pro quo" arrangements that would enrich the Senator politically or financially.  The embattled Senator was already under scrutiny after it was revealed Senator Thompson was caught on federal wiretaps after former Senator Shirley Hunt agreed to cooperate with the Feds in exchanged for a reduced sentence.  Thompson was targeted after Hunt revealed to federal authorities she knew of corruption in the Senate involving Senator Thompson.

ROBERT DEBENEDICTIS

One such 'earmark' under scrutiny is 110 N. Third Avenue, the location of which the Senator's daughter Helene is employed.  Helene's employer is Robert DeBenedictis, the buildings property manager of record and also the Senator's home improvement contractor of record.  The Senator came under fire recently when it was reported previously the Senator dodged several city approvals when DeBenedictis installed the Senator's roof without a permit and approval from the City's architectural review board.  Architectural review board approval was needed because the Senator changed from a slate to an asphalt roof, which is currently prohibited under city statute.  Mount Vernon Department of Buildings records indicate that the permit fee still has not been paid nor has a permit been applied for despite public outcry and residents speaking up at recent City Council meetings.  Senator Thompson has said publicly that her contract with DeBenedictis called for DeBenedictis to pay all filing fees and ensure that all permits and approvals for city agencies were obtained. If this was any other taxpayer a Violation/Summons would have been issued to the property owner immediately and the fines would have been issued and paid.

The source said that officials are already into the "business relationship" between the Senator and DeBenedictis.  Sources have confirmed sightings with DeBenedictis and the Senator walking through Fleetwood seeking out campaign space before finally agreeing to set up shop at 565 Gramatan Avenue, right in the heart of Fleetwood.  Property records list the owner as 557 Gramatan Realty, LLC with offices located at 555 Fifth Avenue in midtown. Records indicate that the property was sold to the current owner for $5,000,000 in 2012.  The source said DeBenedictis helped secure the prime location for the cash strapped Senator who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford the $50 per square foot rent, which is equivalent to $6,000 per month for the size of space being used the Senator's campaign.
