02/20/11 What Kind Of LSD Are They Putting In Bart Didden's Tea?


Port Chester Mayoral Wanna Be And Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden has sent out a press release saying he had "uncovered" the latest disciplinary case against a village employee, who payed another person to do his job.

Bart "The Bigot" Didden's release says, "Recently, in his role as a Village Trustee, Didden uncovered even more bad business practices and possible corruption in Village operations" with the case against a maintenance worker who is accused of paying another person to do his job.

Earth To Bart "The Bigot" Didden

Port Chester Village Manager Christopher Russo says that the latest case came to light when Public Works Foreman Rocky Morabito reported that a cleaning woman complained she had not been paid. It turned out that the woman was not on the village payroll, but had been paid by employee Daniel DeLisa, who claimed he'd been authorized by former Building Inspector Lenny Cusumano to outsource his own village job.

The Truth Is That Glory Hound Bart "The Bigot" Didden Didn't Do Jack

Port Chester Village Manager Christopher Russo Fired Daniel DeLisa on Feb. 11 after investigating the situation.

Then Port Chester Village Manager Christopher Russo followed through and reported Daniel DeLisa to the Port Chester Police Department, the Westchester County District Attorney, the New York State Comptroller's Office and the New York State Retirement System.

Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot' Didden has only looked on as the Port Chester Village Manager Christopher Russo has filed more than two dozen disciplinary actions since August 2008, leading to the resignation of Public Works Foreman Gary Racaniello, a 20-year employee; the retirement of Acting Building Inspector Frank Ruccolo, a village employee for about 10 years, and various other penalties. A sanitation worker was fired for abuse of sick leave, for example, and a highway worker was fired for stealing gasoline.

Maybe someone should tell Bart "The Bigot" Didden that, except in cases involving police and fire personnel, the village board of trustees are not involved in disciplinary investigations other than to approve funding for a hearing officer.

The investigations are conducted by Robert Lombardi, assistant to the village manager, and pursued according to civil service procedures.

Can anyone one name a trustee more clueless than Bart "The Bigot" Didden?

Bart "The Bigot" Didden Just Can't Stop Hallucinating .....

Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot' Didden Claims he sent an e-mail to Port Chester Village Manager Christopher Russo the same day the board was notified of the Daniel DeLisa case, but Mr. Russo has said he knows of no such e-mail.

Rye Town council members have updated a 40-year-old ethics code with new guidelines against conflicts of interest.

Port Chester Village Manager Christopher Russo fired Daniel DeLisa, a cleaning and maintenance employee, after learning that he had been collecting a check and having someone else do the work.
Mr. DeLisa said he was authorized to "outsource" the job 10 years ago by a supervisor in the Building Department, Leonard "Let's Make A Deal" Cusumano, who is now dead.
Port Chester Village Manager Christopher Russo is handling the situation, because Port Chester is a village manager form of government and the manager is responsible for monitoring, directing, managing and firing village employees.
It is reported that Mr. DeLisa was hired in 2000 to clean what was then a village office on Willett Avenue and outsourced his job in 2001,
Mr. DeLisa was paid $5,400 a year for the three day per week cleaning of the Department of Works office.
That worked out to $34.81 per visit, before insurance and tax deductions.
It's not clear what amount of money the woman was receiving, but it was common knowledge in the Department of Public Works that she was working for Mr. DeLisa.
There was some speculation that she got about half of the $34.81 for each cleaning visit.
The arrangement came to light when a public works foreman reported that the woman hadn't been paid.
Port Chester Village Manager Christopher Russo said he will do the right thing and to report the situation to law enforcement.
