CLOSE PAL OF MAYOR CLINTON YOUNG

INVESTIGATORS AS THEY LEAVE THE OFFICES OF ATLANTIC DEVELOPMENT

Atlantic Development, the embattled developer that had their offices raided by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in April 2009, is scheduled to appear before the Mount Vernon Planning Board on Wednesday, February 3, 2010.  The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 P.M. in City Council chambers.

On Tuesday, February 02, 2010, Mount Vernon Exposed®™ crossed paths with another Mayor Young crony working with Atlantic Development “to provide direction in order to gain approvals” for the controversial massive low income complex they are seeking to build in downtown Mount Vernon.

James Dickerson, owner of the real estate firm Resolution Realty, became extremely belligerent and verbally abusive when he found out that Mount Vernon Exposed®™ was in City Hall gathering documentation about the proposed development. Dickerson yelled out “Fucking Faggot” when he spotted the reporter from Mount Vernon Exposed®™.   Dickerson, an extremely close pal of Mayor Clinton Young, has become violent on several occasions, even threatening bodily harm against those that oppose the administration of Mayor Young.  On one occasion Dickerson was observed attacking a citizen in the courthouse in Mount Vernon.  Subsequently, a police report was filed against Dickerson.

Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore instructed her Branch Chief in Mount Vernon, Patrick Macarchuk, not to pursue any criminal charges against Dickerson, even though Yolanda Robinson, Mayor Young’s chief of staff, witnessed a portion of the incident and gave a statement to Mount Vernon detectives stating the same. DiFiore did not want to upset the powers that be in Mount Vernon.  The Mount Vernon Democratic City Committee lead by Devereaux Cannick endorsed DiFiore in her re-election bid for Westchester County District Attorney.
