THREE BLIND MICE ON CITY COUNCIL VOTE TO SQUANDER AWAY CITY PROPERTY FOR $11K TO FELLOW CRONY; CONFLICT OF INTEREST BETWEEN BUYER AND CITY ASSESSOR

COUNCILMAN YUHANNA EDWARDS

COUNCILWOMAN DIANE MUNRO-MORRIS

COUNCILMAN STEVEN HORTON

On Wednesday, February 9^th, 2011 the Mount Vernon City Council voted 3-1 to sell a property owned by the City of Mount Vernon to the Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce for a measly $11K.  Councilwoman Roberta Apuzzo voted no and Council President Karen Watts abstained from voting.  Council President Watts and Councilwoman Apuzzo appear to be the only persons on the council with a conscience at this time.

Information was also presented to the council that every meeting held by the Real Estate Committee was an illegal meeting and in violation of NYS Public Officers law.  Mount Vernon Exposed Publisher vowed to take legal against the City of Mount Vernon for the blatant violations of law.  The meetings of the real estate committee were not posted on the City of Mount Vernon’s website as required by law.

§104. Public notice.

1. Public notice of the time and place of a meeting scheduled at least one week prior thereto shall be given to the news media and shall be conspicuously posted in one or more designated public locations at least seventy-two hours before such meeting.
2. Public notice of the time and place of every other meeting shall be given, to the extent practicable, to the news media and shall be conspicuously posted in one or more designated public locations at a reasonable time prior thereto.
3. The public notice provided for by this section shall not be construed to require publication as a legal notice.
4. If videoconferencing is used to conduct a meeting, the public notice for the meeting shall inform the public that videoconferencing will be used, identify the locations for the meeting, and state that the public has the right to attend the meeting at any of the locations. 

5. When a public body has the ability to do so, notice of the time and place of a meeting given in accordance with subdivision one or two of this section, shall also be conspicuously posted on the public body's internet website

The City of Mount Vernon was forewarned by a NYS Supreme Court Justice about posting notices of meeting on an ad-hoc basis.  City Clerk George Brown said on the record that he did not post meetings to the City website.  George Brown also refused to give the packet reviewed by the City Council to Mount Vernon Exposed™®.  Clerk George Brown said that the information was confidential.  However, a Good Samaritan in City Hall provided Mount Vernon Exposed™® with the necessary documents to keep city residents informed of the doings in City Hall.
Information was presented to the City Council that a letter was sent to the United States Attorneys’ office demanding an investigation into the President of the Chamber of Commerce and the Assessor of Mount Vernon.  Information has surfaced that the President of the Chamber of Commerce is business partners with the Assessor in Mount Vernon who is frequently called a crook by many City of Mount Vernon residents.  Many details about the letter provided to the United States Attorney’s will not be provided to the public to prevent the obstruction of any pending investigation.  

The three blind mice (Councilpersons’ Edwards, Horton, and Munro-Morris) voted to continue corruption in the City of Mount Vernon.  To be continued………

RACIAL DESCRIMINATION IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY COURTS: CORRUPT JUDGES SCHIENKMAN AND DAVIDSON SHOW FAVORITISM TO RACIST WHITE JUDGE

 Embattled Supervising Family Court Judge Kathy Davidson

Corrupt 9th Judicial District Administrative Judge Alan D. Scheinkman

(The ringleader)

Racist Family Court Judge Elect Michelle Shauer

It has come to the attention of Mount Vernon Exposed®™ that racist tactics similar to those used by the Klu Klux Klan are being used by Administrative Judge of the Ninth Judicial district, Alan Scheinkman and Kathie Davidson, Administrative Judge for Family Court, Ninth Judicial district.  

Based upon information and belief, Family Court Judge elect, Michelle Schauer was assigned to Yonkers Family Court beginning in January 2011.  According to sources close to Scheinkman and Schauer, Schauer became extremely angered about the decision to place her in Yonkers.  Mount Vernon Exposed®™ has heard allegations that Michelle Schauer, as Family Court Referee, removed Latino children from their parents simply because the parents did not speak English.  

The Journal News recently covered the horrendous conditions and severe overcrowding in the Yonkers Family Court.  Family Court Judge elect Michelle Schauer decided to take matters into her own hands.  Judge Shauer went out on her own and purchased an asbestos and mold kit.  Judge Schauer then went to the Yonkers Family Court facility on South Broadway and took air samples.  The air samples tested positive for asbestos and mold.

Mount Vernon Exposed investigated Judge-elect Schauer's allegations and found them to be credible.   In a report released by the NYS Office of Court Facilities numerous hazardous conditions were found to exist at the Yonkers Family Court facility.  Some of these dangers include inadequate heating, air conditioning, and ventilation.  Numerous safety issues were also found to exist.  A copy of the report can be found below this story.

It is then alleged that Judge Shauer put her findings in writing to Judge Scheinkman and Judge Davidson informing them that she will not be taking the bench there come January 2011.  According to the source, Judge Shauer described the Yonkers Family Court facility as “uninhabitable”.   Judge Davidson and Judge Scheinkman have been scrambling to find a home for Judge Shauer.  According to the source, Judge Shauer has been getting preferential treatment because she is white.  Judge Malone, who also sits in Yonkers and is black, has been ignored for years and her alleged complaints have fallen on deaf ears.

EMBATTLED NYS ASSEMBLYMAN J. GARY PRETLOW CONSPIRES TO STEAL ELECTION WITH BOE COMMISSIONER REGGIE LAFAYETTE

Embattled NYS Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow

Corrupt Democratic Election Commissioner Reginald LaFayette

NYS Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow's car illegally parked

On Tuesday, September 7^th, 2010, Mount Vernon Exposed™® publisher Samuel L. Rivers uncovered more corruption at the Westchester County Board of Elections.  At approximately 3:30 P.M.  Embattled NYS Assemblyman Gary Pretlow’s car was discovered illegally parked in the Westchester County Board of Elections parking lot.  Assemblyman Pretlow was illegally parked in the fire lane at the Westchester County Board of Elections. 

This is the second time in two months that the embattled legislator was caught sneaking into Westchester County Board of Election Commissioner Reginald Lafayette’s office.  Assemblyman Pretlow continues to show complete disregard for New York State taxpayers.   Assemblyman Pretlow was featured in the Journal News just two weeks ago for billing taxpayers over $180K for travel expenses while many New York are facing unemployment.

 Sources close to LaFayette have told Mount Vernon Exposed™® that Assemblyman Pretlow and Commissioner LaFayette were conspiring to rig the upcoming Democratic Primary on September 14^th, 2010. 

The source told Mount Vernon Exposed of a few of the schemes Assemblyman Pretlow and Commissioner LaFayette are currently working on:

• ·         One possible scheme is a favorite of party bosses.  It is the absentee ballot scheme.  Party Bosses will get college kids and friends of political insiders to complete and mail in an absentee ballot.  Then the same persons that mail in an absentee ballot will then show at the polls on Election Day and will cast a ballot, for a total of two ballots cast.  The second vote goes unchallenged 99% of the time because candidates that do not receive the backing of the party usually do not have the resources to challenge this illegal activity in a court of law.  ·          
• The second method we were told to watch out for is that election inspectors hired by Commissioner LaFayette will be manually filling out the ballot for voters.  Mount Vernon Exposed™® has taken the position that it is a conflict of interest for Commissioner LaFayette to serve as commissioner of the Board of Elections, serve as Chairman of the Westchester Democratic Committee, and be a candidate for elective office at the same time.

Mount Vernon Exposed™® will keep you updated on the nefarious activities of Assemblyman Gary Pretlow.
