MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL CHIEF JUDITH JOHNSON CAUGHT STEALING FROM TAXPAYERS; GIVES CRONY $60K NO SHOW JOB

CORRUPT SCHOOL CHIEF JUDITH JOHNSON

Already under fire for hiding failing test scores from board members and keeping board members in the dark about dangerous levels of asbestos in city schools, more explosive allegations are being made against Mount Vernon Interim School Superintendent Judith Johnson.

Johnson stands accused of electioneering and using the school district’s K-12 emergency response system to get the school budget passed by voters. Johnson even went far as using taxpayer funded school resources including but not limited to copiers, computers, and personnel during the last election to get the school budget passed. 

According to sources familiar with the probe, school board attorneys are investigating the matter to determine if criminal charges are warranted before the matter is referred to law enforcement authorities.

The scene of the crime was Mount Vernon High School, where Jason Pritchard, at the expense of Mount Vernon taxpayers, printed thousands of flyers and had them put into each and every child’s backpack in the entire Mount Vernon City School district.  

Johnson instilled fear and anxiety in parents by telling them that a “NO” vote would hurt the kids, however Judith Johnson did not tell parents that she awarded her crony, Pennington PTA Vanessa Ritter with a no show $60,000 per year job disguised under the bogus title of “Web Designer”. 

The flyers in question told voters to vote “YES” for the budget.  Johnson had former school board trustee Delia Farqharson record a message urging all to vote “YES” for the budget.  The recorded message was then illegally blasted using the K-12 emergency alert system.  The K-12 alert is used to call and notify parents in the event of school closings or other perilous events. 

Johnson’s highhanded behavior and blatant disregard for the law began long before her arrival in Mount Vernon.  According to a recent article in the Journal News this past weekend, three guidance counselors handpicked and hired by Johnson are now facing criminal charges for changing test scores on standardized tests.  As a result of this flim flam grade changing scandal, Johnson received several awards, including most improved school district.  Johnson was also named superintendent of the year.

School Board trustees who are elected at large by members of the public have had a very difficult time navigating the waters of the Johnson administration.  Johnson is deliberately withholding information, including asbestos reports and failing grades from board members.  To add insult to injury and to stall board members, Johnson requires that all board members seeking basic information must file a Freedom of Information request with the clerk of the board.   

Is Johnson fit to continue to serve as school superintendent?  Will criminal charges be brought against Johnson? Only time will tell.  Johnson has failed to realize that she works for and serves at the pleasure of the school board and the taxpayers and not vice versa. 

It is quite obvious that Johnson does not believe in transparency.  When it was made public that there are dangerous levels of asbestos still present in Cecil H. Parker Elementary School, Johnson deployed extra security guards and even called for a police presence to ensure that reporters from News 12 did not gain access to inside the school. 

Prior to the 9 A.M. press conference at Parker school, school board trustee Frances Wynn went to the school to ensure that security was in place to make sure the press did not gain access to the areas of the school identified in the report that contains mold and asbestos.

Wynn, who at the time of the press conference did not see the report, went on the defensive stating that “the Interim Superintendent hides nothing”.  When the News12 reporter asked Wynn about why the report wasn’t given to board members, Wynn could not answer and began to speak gibberish.  Wynn also admitted to the reporter that school board members should have been notified and received the asbestos report. 

“I am not employed by nor do I work in any capacity for the school board,” said Rivers. “The buck stops with Judith Johnson, she must come clean with taxpayers or resign. It is time to tighten up or ship out.  It is not my job to inform board members about asbestos when Johnson gets paid over $260K a year to do what I am doing for free.  Taxpayers can no longer afford Johnson’s arrogance and ignorance of the law.”  Rivers added.

JUDGE ALAN SCHEINKMAN VIOLATES NYS LAW; CONTINUES TO COVER UP $3M IN MISSING COURT FUNDS

ALAN ZIMMERMAN

We welcome our readers back to our sixth issue about Alan.  We thank you, our loyal and dedicated readers for making Mount Vernon Exposed the largest corruption reporting watchdog blog on the internet today.  You have also made Alan our most successful series ever.  To date our series on Alan has received over 17,000 hits.  We need your help to reach one million hits by July 1, 2012.  One million hits will sending a resounding message to the status quo that the taxpayers mean business and will no longer stand for the corruption, fraud, abuse, and injustice that Alan and gang of Klansman continue to engage in on a daily basis.  Alan has destroyed the integrity of the entire NYS Judicial Court system.

Mount Vernon Exposed has learned that Alan has officially gone crazy.  It has been reported to Mount Vernon Exposed that he is allegedly off of his medication that was prescribed to him right after his mental breakdown while he was County Attorney.  This can most likely be attributed to the strange, erratic, and standoffish behavior that Alan is displaying in the courts these past few days.  Alan fearing that he will get indicted by a Federal grand jury for his case fixing, kickbacks, and other shady dealings has begun to take steps to cover up his criminal activities.  

Just recently Alan was brought to public light for ordering three hit men from the Office of Court Administration and the Inspector General office to intimidate Hon. William Edwards of Mount Vernon City Court for exposing on public record Alan and others for attempting to fix cases in the Mount Vernon City Court.  We will provide details of the case fixing in a later issue.  It has also been reported to Mount Vernon Exposed that over $3M is missing from the Mount Vernon City Court.  When allegations of corruption were brought to Judge Edwards’s attention, Alan and his posse started to retaliate against Judge Edwards.  So we must ask Alan, where is the money?  Did he spend on his sailboat or did he use it in Anguilla as spending money when he was there with Judge Sam Walker and Judge Gerald Loehr?

Alan, Judge Seiden of Mount Vernon, Judge Gross of Mount Vernon, and Larry Darden, Chief Clerk of Mount Vernon, recently met to discuss filing a bogus complaint against Judge Edwards.  According to source familiar with the investigation the complainant is a court employee close to Alan.

Alan mental health issues have cost Westchester taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.  Alan has appointed several unqualified individuals to various positions throughout the ninth judicial district.  Alan also appointed Susan Newman-Loehr with a supporting vote from Westchester County Court Judge Barbara Zambelli.  This gave Alan and Janet DiFiore that opportunity to rob Westchester blind all while gunning down unarmed black men by an elite band of rogue police officers.  When it comes time to prosecute the officers for their crimes, Susan Newman-Loehr will be sure to pool an all-white affluent jury from Pelham, Harrison, and Bronxville.  

The next character is Alan’s criminal syndicate is Nancy J. Barry.  Nancy Barry is Chief Clerk of the Westchester Supreme and County Courts taking in a whopping $118K per year.  Nancy’s co-workers describe her as a lazy failure that is hardly in the office.  As Chief Clerk, Nancy is responsible for managing all aspects of court operations and non-judicial case processing activities.  But when can Nancy find the time to do all of this when she spends most of her day organizing outings for Alan and his posse?  Nancy is also always on the golf course and frequently brags to co-workers that her son attends West Point.  One can be sure to guess that Nancy’s son is training to become a General in Alan’s army of criminals.  

Nancy is another one of Alan’s best and brightest that managed to circumvent NYS civil service law requirements.  Nancy did not take the test for her current position as required by law.  Some even question if Nancy, although an admitted attorney, can even pass the test.  

Nancy started her career with her law school buddy, Westchester County Court Judge Susan Cacace as her Principal Law Clerk. The two went to Pace Law together, and colleagues described them as close until they had a falling out.   Law clerks are responsible for researching case law that is used in the Judge’s written decision.  Sources said that Judge Cacace found Nancy incompetent and terminated her.  We applaud Judge Cacace for getting rid of such a useless burden on Westchester County taxpayers. Nancy would often cite wrong cases.  We can only imagine how many innocent people are in jail due to Nancy’s incompetence.   

Judge Francis Nicolai, another lazy, corrupt Judge, then took in Nancy as his principal law clerk after she was given an express ride to the unemployment office.  When Judge Nicolai retired and Alan took the reins, Alan made Nancy a Court Attorney Referee in the Mortgage Foreclosure Settlement Part.  Nancy benefited from Westchester homeowners losing their homes, as she was the one who conducted the auctions, some of which never made it to the courthouse steps because it is alleged that Nancy received hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from investors looking to purchase these properties for pennies on the dollar.  Sources said Nancy then funneled the cash payments Alan who the divided the money with the appropriate personnel. Nancy was then appointed to Chief Clerk, where she remains today.  To be continued ><><><

JUDGE ALAN SCHEINKMAN RETALIATES; NAMED IN CRIMINAL COVER UP

Alan Zimmerman

Good Morning:  Mount Vernon Exposed has just learned that Judge Scheinkman and Chief Clerk Larry Darden of Mount Vernon have concocted a false complaint against Mount Vernon City Court Judge Hon. William Edwards.

IS ADMINSTRATIVE JUDGE ALAN SCHEINKMAN ADDICTED TO NARCOTICS?

ALAN SCHEINKMAN

We would like to welcome our readers back to our fifth issue in our series about Alan, our most successful and most read series to date.  Over the past few days Mount Vernon Exposed has been inundated with calls about the corruption in the courts and in the Westchester County District Attorney’s office.  Our readers have expressed concerns that they no longer have faith and trust in a judicial system that is racist, unjust, and corrupt. 

This past week we have brought you exclusive breaking news that you will see only on Mount Vernon Exposed.  We have exposed the conflicts of interests that lie within Westchester County and the 9^th judicial led by Alan. We have also exposed the fixing of Grand Jury proceedings to give Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore the outcome she is seeking in cases of her gang of rogue police officers gunning down unarmed black men.  It was revealed by court personnel that Janet DiFiore, Susan Newman-Loehr, and Alan Scheinkman met at an undisclosed location to discuss pooling jurors from wealthy white affluent areas for the Chamberlain Grand Jury proceedings.

Mr. Chamberlain was gunned down by racist White Plains police officers in his own home.  It was discovered that one of the police officers said “OPEN THE DOOR NIGGER WE HAVE TO TALK”.   Many throughout the community were outraged but not surprised that Janet’s office was not able to get an indictment.  As the saying goes ” You can indict a ham sandwich”.  This saying means that based on the evidence that is presented to the Grand Jury you can get the outcome that you are seeking.  It is clear that Janet withheld evidence that would have resulted in an indictment.  A combination of the panel of racist white Grand Jurors from affluent areas in Westchester County and the withholding of key evidence resulted in the police officers not getting indicted.  Janet, Alan, and Susan Newman-Loehr gave the green light to White Plains Police Commissioner David Chong to “SHOOT DOWN MORE NIGGERS”.  

In order to understand the corruption that is permeating the 9^th Judicial District, one must try to understand the mindset and look into the extracurricular activities of the elected officials committing the crimes.  

Elected officials and those in power tend to play by two different set of rules.  They begin to think that they are the law and that they are above the law.  For example, employees in the private sector must take drug tests before they are hired and some companies even do random drug testing to ensure compliance with the drug free workplace policy.  However elected officials and those that drink from the public till do not have to submit to drug testing.  They are free to engage in a lifestyle of Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll. 

Mount Vernon Exposed polled 100 people about the thoughts that a Judge could be addicted to narcotics.  All 100 people polled said no and that they wouldn’t believe a Judge would engage in that type of activity.  We then asked the same 100 people if they ever heard of Richard Baumgartner, they all said no.

RICHARD BAUMGARTNER

Richard Baumgartner and Alan Scheinkman are cut from the same cloth and are two peas in a pod.  Richard Baumgartner is a former Knoxville, Tennessee Criminal Court Judge that was found guilty of official misconduct for his behavior on and off the bench.  Richard Baumgartner and Alan Scheinkman share the same similarities in their behavior on and off the bench. CLICK HERE TO READ THE RICHARD BAUMGARTNER STORY

Richard Baumgartner was addicted to painkillers that were prescribed to him for treatment of his chronic alcohol abuse.  When doctors no longer would write prescriptions for his habit, Richard Baumgartner turned to the people he put in jail to supply him the drugs.  Richard Baumgartner frequently had sex in his chambers with his supplier while court was in session on recess break.  

As a result of Richard Baumgartner’s conviction many of his cases have been set for new trials and some of the people he put in jail are now free.

Mount Vernon Exposed previously reported that Alan is not mentally fit to be a judge.  According to sources, Alan had a mental breakdown while he was the Westchester County Attorney.  It was also reported to Mount Vernon Exposed by an anonymous source that Alan was prescribed medication for his mental illness.  It is now alleged that Alan is addicted to these painkillers and obtains them in the same fraudulent manner as Richard Baumgartner.  

Every year, Alan and his wife Faith Miller host a lavish party at their home at 10 Puritan Road in Rye that is attended by several elected officials, and many of Alan’s co-workers who are also sitting Judges.  According to a source, Mount Vernon Exposed was told that this is nothing more than a sex filled boozing and drug orgy.  Alan also put his hand up his wife Faith Millers crotch in public in the presence of sitting Supreme Court judges.

After Alan’s mental breakdown, it is alleged that he became addicted to illegal narcotics, specifically cocaine.  According to the source, Alan, Faith Miller, sitting Supreme Court and County Court Judges, and others allegedly regularly sniff cocaine as a recreational sport.  It has even been reported that Alan uses drugs in chambers inbetween his calendar call. 

Prior to their marriage, sources confirmed to Mount Vernon Exposed that Alan and Faith Miller would engage in sexual activity in his chambers. Faith Miller would then go appear in front of other Judges in the same building. 

Alan’s behavior is not that of a sane, drug free person.  A sane person would not put their hand up their spouse’s crotch in public in front of other sitting judges.  

Currently in New York State, elected and appointed officials, including judges, do not have to submit to drug tests nor is being drug free a requirement for holding public office.  Public officials that handle billions and billions of taxpayer funds can be high as a kite while they are making laws or passing budgets that affect the lives of millions of New Yorkers.

GORDON BURROWS

Alan seems to embrace the criminal element; after all he is a criminal himself.  Just last month at the State of the County address, Alan was seen embracing and sitting next to Gordon Burrows, the disgraced Westchester County Legislator that was arrested with Timothy Cacace, brother of Westchester County Court Judge Susan Cacace, for snorting cocaine in an upstate Mobil gas station parking lot.  

It was alleged that Alan was able to get Burrows a deal by reaching out to the judge handling the case.  As a result of Alan’s interference, Burrows was able to avoid jail time by pleading guilty to a single count of disorderly conduct.  

Sources have told Mount Vernon Exposed that Alan had a lot to lose if Gordon went to jail.  It has been told to Mount Vernon Exposed that Alan and Burrows and other sitting judges, who we will reveal at a later date, all use the same cocaine supplier.  We must now ask the question; is Alan high on drugs when he renders decisions in the 9^th Judicial District?

Mount Vernon Exposed has learned that a civil rights group is preparing to go to Federal Court to compel Alan to submit to a mental fitness test and also to a drug test.

JUDGE ALAN SCHEINKMAN NAMED IN JURY FIXING SCANDAL

Corrupt Racist Alan Scheinkman

We would like to welcome our readers back to our third issue about Alan who has already become the top search item on Mount Vernon Exposed amassing a record 10,670 hits just this week alone.  Please keep the tips coming in.  At this point you should be very familiar with the sick and twisted mind of Alan Scheinkman, a certified racist, fraud, womanizer, and cheater.  It was recently reported that Alan put his hand up the crotch of his wife Faith Miller in public while in the presence of other sitting Supreme Court and County Judges.

It is becoming quite clear during our investigation that Alan does indeed have a mental problem and is a certified lunatic.  Alan is a failure and his erratic thinking has cost and still is costing New York State taxpayers millions of dollars per year.  

So far we have exposed the circle of corruption permeating the 9^th judicial district.  Alan is the head of the criminal enterprise operating in the 9^th judicial system.  He is assisted by Nancy Mangold, James Garfein, Jennifer Jaffe, J Marshall Mangold, Susan Newman Loehr, several Supreme Court judges and others.  We will expose each and every person that is part of this criminal enterprise over the next few weeks.  

Today we bring you another creepy character that is the glue that keeps the money machine cranking throughout Westchester County.  This shady figure is Susan Newman Loehr, wife of Westchester County Court Judge Gerald Loehr. Judge Loehr is also looking to advance in Alan crime family by seeking a New York State Supreme Court Judgeship. We will make sure that Judge Loehr’s mission ends before it even begins.

  It was previously reported that Alan took plenty of free trips to Anguilla with Supreme Court Judge Sam Walker, County Court Judge Gerald Loehr, and other sitting judges while discussing open cases.  It was also alleged that Alan and other Judges patronized prostitutes while on these excursions.  

Susan Newman Loehr is currently the Commissioner of Jurors and is handsomely compensated by taxpayers at an annual rate of $120,626.  Susan is responsible for getting jurors (including cases involving her husband) for the thousands of cases heard in Westchester County each year. 

Alan had a plan to rape the taxpayers of millions of dollars.  As the saying goes “If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail”.  Alan had no intentions of failing.  Alan was very instrumental in getting Susan appointed as the Commissioner of Jurors.  Susan’s appointment was political payback for favors owed to Susan’s husband, Judge Gerald Loehr.  Judge Loehr is Scheinkman’s hit man.  If Scheinkman wants to screw someone or wants to interrupt someone’s life with a biased ruling, he arranges to have the cases put in front of Gerald Loehr, another certified racist and a fraud.   We will report on Judge Loehr’s cases of impropriety in the next few days.  

While they were island hopping Alan would come up with the idea to appoint Susan as the Commissioner of Jurors.  The Commissioner of Jurors is appointed by the Jury Board that consists Alan, Judge Barbara Zambelli, and County Executive Robert Astorino.  Mount Vernon Exposed has obtained copies of the transcripts from the meeting appointing Susan as Commissioner of Jurors.  The testimony given by Alan is disturbing and reeks of corruption.  

Alan stated that during this meeting that there were over 70 applicants that applied for the position that was becoming vacant because the previous commissioner was retiring.  Alan also said that out of the 70 applicants that only one stood out and that was Susan Loehr. 

 Alan thought by putting Susan is charge of Jurors that would further his criminal enterprise.  Susan would pool jurors that would be favorable to Alan and others.  Alan is listed as presiding Judge of the Commercial Division, the division that hears commercial claims greater than $100,000.  

Susan’s high handed behavior didn’t end with her appointment as the Commissioner of Jurors. Before she was appointed the Commissioner of Jurors, Susan held the position of Principal Administrative Assistant for the 9^th Judicial District.  Susan currently holds two positions and wants to get paid for them as well.  The Chief Administrative Judge of New York State disagrees and stripped Susan of receiving two paychecks.

Mount Vernon Exposed has obtained a copy of the lawsuit and it is attached to this story.  The contents are disturbing.  Susan wrote in court papers “At Judge Scheinkman’s request, I continue to perform the Human Resource functions of Principal Administrative Assistant for the 9^th Judicial District.”  How does Susan sue the employer that pays her salary?  Susan too appears to be an individual that suffers from some sort of mental disorder, and taxpayers are the ones that will suffer from that mental disorder.  

Alan’s criminal enterprise is deeply rooted and is larger than La Costra Nostra.  Alan has no honor.  In fact he fully supports Susan is her lawsuit against the New York State Unified Court System.  Susan also wrote in court papers “Indeed, the current District Administrative Judge expressed on the public record, at the meeting of the Westchester County Jury Board at which I was appointed Commissioner, that my service to the UCS has been exemplary. The minutes of that meeting are attached hereto as Exhibit B”.

Susan is a key figure in keeping the money flowing throughout Westchester County. She pools jurors from areas and neighborhoods that she thinks would return verdicts favorable to her fellow members of the Alan criminal syndicate.

ONGOING CORRUPTION IN DPW UNDER MAYOR YOUNG'S WATCH; DPW SUPERVISOR MAY FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES

Corrupt DPW Supervisor Rudy Persaud

Embattled Mayor Clinton I. Young Jr.

Embattled Corporation Counsel Loretta Hotttinger

Earning $135,000 a year for some people means good living and enjoying the finer things in life.  Apparently for DPW Supervisor Rudy Persaud that isn’t enough.  Once again Rudy Persaud has shown that corruption is “alive and well” in the administration of Mayor Clinton Young.  Rudy Persaud is currently serving a 30 day suspension without pay for his latest act of official misconduct.  

Mount Vernon City officials are well aware of Persaud’s corruption and are taking steps to do damage control, especially since this year is a Mayoral election year.  The damage done by Persaud and others may prove too much to rehabilitate Mayor Young’s failing re-election bid.  

According to sources, Rudy Persaud is facing potential criminal charges due to the fact he used city equipment and resources paid for by Mount Vernon taxpayers to repair a private homeowner’s sidewalk at 245 Summit Avenue.  Alice Seibert, the owner of the property, paid Rudy Persaud money to repair the sidewalk after Rudy Persaud suggested to Ms. Seibert that he could get the job done at a cheap price.  The homeowner then entered into an agreement to repair the sidewalk at 245 Summit Avenue.  

However, before Rudy Persaud entered into a contract to repair the sidewalk, a neighbor to Ms. Seibert, Rose Petrucci, who lives at 255 Summit fell and seriously injured herself on the sidewalk at 245 Summit Avenue.  The injury to Ms. Petrucci prompted Rudy Persaud to go to 245 Summit to inspect the property to see if the City of Mount Vernon was liable for the injury and also for the repair of the sidewalk.  Typically, the City of Mount Vernon repairs sidewalks that are damaged due to uprooting trees.  Sources have told Mount Vernon exposed that there was tree root damage at 245 Summit Avenue, however Mr. Persaud told the homeowner that the damage to the sidewalk at 245 Summit Avenue was caused by “environmental causes” and therefore the City of Mount Vernon was not responsible for the repair.  

Mr. Persaud then proceeded to repair Ms. Seibert’s sidewalk.  Mr. Persaud then got paid for the work he and/or his son who is also a public work employee did.  In between all of these events the neighbor at 255 Summit Avenue commenced legal action against the City of Mount Vernon.  The legal matter is still ongoing.  During a deposition hearing where Rudy Persaud was deposed and was under oath, Rudy fabricated tales surrounding the events that led to the repairing of the sidewalk at 245 Summit Avenue.  Rudy denied that he fixed the sidewalks when accusations surfaced.  Rudy was in denial until checks were produced by Ms. Seibert showing that he was indeed paid for his services.  Corporation Counsel Loretta Hottinger quickly tried to push this under the rug.  

Rudy was then given a disciplinary hearing about his egregious, blatant acts of corruption.  Rudy was then given a 30 day suspension without pay.  Loretta Hottinger then forwarded this information over to the Westchester County District Attorney’s office for criminal prosecution.  Mount Vernon Exposed™® will continue to follow this ongoing corruption scandal in Mayor Young’s administration.
