Pilla Wins Third Term as Port Chester Mayor‎

Port Chester Patch

By Nik Bonopartis

Dennis Pilla has won a third term as Port Chester's mayor, according to unofficial election results.

"This vote is about the belief that the people in Port Chester have about our future and about how positive and hopeful it is," Pilla told an elated crowd at Chavin Restaurant on Main Street.

Pilla built a steady lead as vote tallies came in from districts across Port Chester. Fellow Democrat and Trustee Dan Brakewood kept the crowded restaurant updated, leaning over his laptop before shouting out results: "Dennis just won 18!"

Pilla built a lead of almost 400 votes before the margin became insurmountable for his Republican opponent, Bart Didden.

All results are unofficial until the Board of Trustees certifies the victory at a special meeting on Thursday. However, unofficial results show Pilla took the election by nearly a 500-vote margin, with 1,564 votes to Didden's 1,076........

BART"S CAMPGAIN PACKED FULL OF HATE

Hispanic-Slur Spewing Mayoral Candidate Is Kayoed

In Virtual Every Port Chester Voting District

Port Chester Roundup's initial analysis of preliminary unofficial district by district election results shows that there was at least one close district race.

In Bart "The Bigot" Didden's home district Port Chester's infamous racist won by only two votes.

That means that if Bart and his wife wouldn't have voted Mayor Dennis Pilla would have tied the USA Central Station Alarm company owner who repeatedly told everyone in town that he was going to spend $80,000 to become the next mayor of Port Chester.

It's amazing just how much money Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden flushed down the toilet. At Least Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova Was Pretty Darn Smart Not To Spend A Damn Dime On Port Chester's Infamous Racist.

Pilla wins 3rd term as Port Chester mayor

PORT CHESTER — Two-term Mayor Dennis Pilla fended off a challenge Tuesday from Trustee Bart Didden.

Democrat Pilla beat Didden, who was elected trustee in June, by a vote of 1,595 to 1,094, according to unofficial results from the village clerk.

"This reflects the belief people in Port Chester have about Port Chester's future," Pilla said. "They see the village as heading in a positive direction. They see we're making good progress."

Pilla, 50, ran on his four-year record as mayor, citing a shift away from double-digit tax increases and an upgrade of Port Chester's bond rating. He also pointed to the code-enforcement crackdown and anti-corruption efforts. Pilla, who has a background in business management and information technology, joined the village board as a trustee in 2006....

....During the campaign, Didden had to answer for the notorious political flier he mailed during Pilla's 2007 campaign, anonymously attacking Pilla and Hispanic supporters. The flier, used as an example of race-baiting, helped the Justice Department win its voting rights lawsuit against the village. The ruling forced Port Chester to modify its at-large voting system for trustees, resulting in an unusual cumulative voting method.

In one of their sharpest differences, Didden voted to appeal that case, backed by a Board of Trustees majority. Pilla criticized the legal costs and the odds of an appeal.

The mayor presides over the seven-member village board. The term is two years at an annual salary of $12,633....

Or as Bart "The Bigot" Didden will be saying on election day,"NO GOD! PLEASE NO !!! NOOOOOOO"

It Is Just Not Easy Being Port Chester's Infamous Racist.

One wonders just how much fun it it is to work at the USA Central Station Alarm company in Port Chester with Bart Didden in charge.

Based upon Bart Diiden's repeated history of failing to obey financial disclosure laws, perhaps it would be prudent for state and federal and state authorities to take a look at this small time alarm service company.

03/15/11 The Most Corrupt Mayor In The history Of Port Chester Pete "“Iasillogate.” Iasillo Continues To Support Bart "The Bigot" Didden

THE ONE MAN WREAKING CREW:

First Pete "Iasillogate" Iasillo Ran Port Chester In The Ground And Then He Left The Mayor's Office In Disgrace.

Later, Port Chester Gave Pete Iasillo A Second Chance By Letting Him Run The Chamber Of Commerce. He Ran That Organazation Into The Ground Too.

But Pete "Iasillogate" Iasillo Always Tells You Things Are Going To Be Better If You Do Things His Way.....

''This time we have everything in place for large-scale changes - it's going to work.''
- Mayor Peter "Iasillogate" Iasillo (May 4, 1986)

But The Truth Is Thing Only Got Better In Port Chester

When We Stopped Listening To Peter Iasillo.

Now Peter Iasillo Is Supporting Bart The Bigot Didden, Because He Wants To Keep His Yearly $15,000 Gift From The Taxpayers Of Port Chester.

Peter Iasillo has his panties all in a bunch, because The Board of Trustees reconsidered and reformed the lifetime health benefits the village has long provided to a small number of former village mayors and trustees.

The move—that was a culmination of a three-year transition away from complimentary health benefits for Port Chester’s elected officials— has stirred an outcry after outcry from Pete "Iasillogate" Iasillo.

Mayor Dennis Pilla Spent over a year to do away with the benefits and cash payouts that current officials get and to eliminate the lifetime benefit provided to people going forward so that no future boards will receive this benefit under current law.

The system that Mayor Dennis Pilla did away with had allowed former officials who accept full family medical coverage (at a cost to the village of $15,000 per year) were compensated nearly three times as much as current trustees, who make only $5,100.

Even former trustees who did not accept the lifetime medical coverage were eligible for $7,500 cash payouts, or about 150 percent what current trustees make.

That’s about a $600,000 benefit that Port Chester taxpayers were forced to pay.

Under Iasillo's old system Port Chester taxpayers paid him and the others approximately $50,000 to serve on the board for 10 years. Actually Pete got more, because he was Mayor.

Then after that the Iasillo system allowed him and the others to collect upwards of $500,000 in benefits over the remainder of their lives.

It just makes no sense in terms of the scale of the compensation package.

Pete "Iasillogate" Iasillo and the other trustees voted to give them selves this extra benefit while they controlled a majority of the board.

Pete Iasillo wants Bart Didden to be Mayor, because he wants to go back to the old system where Port Chester taxpayers over the next 25 years, would pay something like $3.1 million for benefits for Pete Iasillo and six other people,

So vote for Bart "The Bigot" Didden and help out corrupt Pete "Iasillogate" Iasillo get more money even though he is well compensated in his retirement by Port Chester's taxpayers.

Just listening to Pete Iasillo and voting for Bart "The Bigot" Didden could easily cost Port Chester taxpayers 3.1 Million just for this one item alone being restored.

These guys want to dismantle the anti-corruption reforms that Mayor Dennis Pilla has put in place during his first two terms.

Peter Iasillo Thinks That Port Chester Residents Have Forgotten About how when once thriving Westchester County communities lost their once-thriving industrial base, and they sought Federal urban-redevelopment funds.

But incompetent Port Chester Mayor Peter Iasillo did not.

When Pete Iasillo was Mayor factories stood empty and quiet. Broken Main Street sidewalks had more 24 - 36 empty stores and trash littered many of its lots.

So many proposals for dramatic changes have failed over the years that former Mayor Peter Iasillo was in charge.

Do you remember when Macy's or Robert Martin was going to come to town.

It was one Pete Iasillio dog and pony show after another that he would roll out every election year.

We were always told we had to vote for Pete, because he was in the middle of yet another big development breakthrough. After Pete would win the election then his latest big deal would never happen.

Port Chester residents eventually became skeptical about the future of Port Chester, because everyone pretty much realized that the Iasillo administration's corruption would always chase away the developers in the end.

Longtime Port Chester residents remember, a developer called Harbor Partners, for example, who was going to proceed with plans to transform a former landfill area into 350 condominiums and a marina on the waterfront.

Remember, Robert Martin Company designing a massive 100-acre mixed-use project downtown.

With all its inherent potential, why then did Port Chester lag while the surrounding area boomed in the 1980's and early 90's?

The answer is the Iasillo culture of corruption, that we still are trying to root out today.

Now that tough decisions are being made and Pete "Iasillogate" Iasillo wants you to bring back the bad old days by voting for Bart Didden and revesing Mayor Dennis Pilla's reforms.

Why would Port Chester residents want to go back to the bad old days when ethics board member Roland F. Berlingo would tell the press that, "Were not dragging our feet." as Port Chester residents demanded Pete Iasillo's head on a platter.

In only nine sessions over a six months period, the ethics board questioned six public officials - including Mayor Peter Iasillo - who bought affordable condominium housing units at the former Lifesavers factory.

Longtime Port Chester residents remember six, nine and twelve months of investigations and nothing getting done.

Who can forget Peter Iasillo's private secret little affordable housing unit sale that was before the regular Port Chester residents had a chance to buy an affordable condominium unit.

The affordable housing apartments were so in demand that more than 400 local teachers, nurses, police officers, firefighters, EMT's construction workers and secretaries waited outside the sales office before the beginning of the ''Condo-Thon'' on September 12th in 1987

Some Port Chester residents wanted a shot at the American Dream so bad, that they waited as long as three or four days in all kinds of weather, just to be there when the doors opened to sell the affordable housing units.

Pete Iasillo not only got his affordable housing unit in advance, he also got his unit at a secret discount.

Iasillo had been given preferential treatment for the affordable housing units only after he and other insiders had granted various approvals on the renovation of the affordable housing apartment building.

Besides the corrupt Mayor, some of the other officials who bought the affordable housing condominiums and were also questioned by the Port Chester Ethics Board included Joseph Colletti, a Trustee; Michael D. Ritchie, the Village Manager; Richard A. Falanka, the Village Clerk; and William Summa, the Village Highway Department foreman, who bought a condominium jointly with Mr. Falanka; and John Grosse, the Chief of Police.

Five trustees who did not buy any affordable housing units also were called before the ethics board and had to testify. They include Vincent Sapione and Nicholas Fusco, Gary Gianfrancesco, John Branca and Joseph P. Mutino.

The Ethics Board was asked to investigate the affordable housing unit sales by Vincent Sapione.

Thomas Finocchio, owner of a lot for that was directly across the street from the condominiums, charged the Port Chester Board of Trustees with unethical conduct, for condemning his land in order to use it as a park next to the rigged affordable hosing unit sale.

The Mayor Iasillo and the other Board of Trustees voted last in July of 1985 to take his property for the park. The developers of the condomimiums had urged the board to do so, saying they wanted it cleared before their sales office opened and customers visited the model apartments.

Mr. Finocchio sued Mayor Iasillo and the Port Chester Board of Trustees in State Supreme Court in White Plains on the grounds that it used its condemnation powers to benefit a private interest and that officials involved had ''an undisclosed financial interest in the discounted affordable housing units.'

Peter Iasillo and two of the officials ultimately bought discounted affordable housing units that looked out on Mr. Finocchio's condemned property, that they voted to turn into a park.

Peter Iasillo the all of the other officials all bought the affordable condominium units for investment, rather than as residences. All of them testified either that this is the case or that they bought apartments for relatives, not for their own use.

All they wanted to do was flip these discounted affordable housing units to make a quick buck.

Peter Iasillo and the officials paid a lower price than the working class public that waited in line for affordable housing units.

After the first 65 condominiums were sold, prices went up 5 percent.

That alone allowed Mayor Iasillo and the other officials to make immediate profits of $5,000 to $15,000 by just signing their name. Huge profits would come later reselling the affordable condominiums units would be placed on the open market.

Pete Iasillo and the other public officials obtained affordable condominiums units for a discounted prices, in exchange for past and future votes, actions or decisions regarding The Landmark Condominium, which was developed by Ted Okie and First Hartford Partners.

The initial prices of the condominiums ranged from $98,000 to $240,000 and only had to make a 10 percent down payment.

So basically they could pay as little as $9,800 for an affordable housing unit that was discounted sold at a discount of $5,000 less than working Port Chester families would pay. If they bought bigger units the got larger discounts and ill gotten gains.

Later, We Will Take A Look At Peter Iasillo's Second Ethics Investigation That Involved His Secret Tapes And His Conspiring With The Republican Party Chairman To See That Certain Politically Connected Contractors Get Hired For Development Projects Like The Horton School Project That Eventually, Became The New Port Chester Village Hall.

03/08/10 Why Are The Corrupt Port Chester Good Ole Boys Lining Up To Support Bart Didden?

Now Pete "I Told The Ethics Board I Was Hallucinating When I Made Those Secret Tapes About Republican Corruption" Iasillo has decided to crawl out from under his rock to write a letter to the Westmore Snooze that urges the good people of Port Chester to vote for Bart "The Bigot" Didden.

This is the same Peter Iasillo (who to this day introduces himself as Mayor Iasillo) who was a target of an FBI sting operation back in the 1970s and he now wants Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden to replace the corruption busting Mayor Dennis Pilla.

"Iasillogate"

This is the same Peter Iasillo who was involved in a 1993 ethics probe involving secret audiotapes that ultimately led him to leave public office, as well as, a previous year-long ethics investigation involving the Landmark Building and now wants the ethically challenged Bart "The Bigot" Didden to be the next Mayor of Port Chester......

Dear Peter,

We don't have a an email address to send the link to your father and we do not normally notify persons of articles.

You can send your father the link if you wish.

Besides, I am sure that he and the others mentioned in your fathers article are well aware of the postings about the corruption in the Iasillo administration.

Your father is more than welcome to respond to the article.

He can either comment on the post or he can send a response to PortChesterRoundup@gmail.com

We are not distorting of the facts about your father's ethically challenged past.

Trust me your father did much worse than this.

Your father is very lucky that a Port Chester police officer and broke the law and informed him that the FBI was investigating him and he backed out of one of his dirty deals before he incriminated himself.

If you don't believe me take a walk down to the Westmore News And Richard Abel will proudly show you the award that he won for reporting about your fathers secret tapes.

Richard Abel still has those secret tapes and to this day and can holds them over peoples heads in Port Chester.

Richard Abel didn't release ten percent of what your father had on those tapes.

Trust me I gave Westmore News Publisher Richard Abel the tapes after Journal News reporter Kevin Grey turned down the tapes.

Goldie Soloman was was offered the tapes before I was, but I over heard her say that she also turned the secret tapes down even though your father treated her horribly at public meetings.......

GOVERNMENT  Police Shutter Building Department Again;  Employees Sent Home.  Ten months after launching an investigation into corruption at Port Chester's building department, police have shut the office down again. In a sign that a 10-month corruption investigation may be coming to a close, Port Chester police shuttered the building department at village hall on Friday, freezing operations and sending employees home. Details remain few. Port Chester police Lt. James Ladeairous confirmed detectives closed the office on Friday, saying the office is physically off-limits pending action by the police and village government. Mayor Dennis Pilla also confirmed the lock-down. "This is yet another step in the journey of rooting out corruption in Port Chester," he wrote in reply to a query from Patch. The investigation was revealed publicly for the first time last year, when police first shut down the department and hauled away boxes of records on April 29. Frank Ruccolo, the department's building inspector, was suspended without pay in the resulting investigation, and soon after submitted retirement papers. Although the village drafted administrative charges against Ruccolo, the disgraced former building inspector used the protection of state personnel law to bury the charges when he retired. As a result, the details of those charges never became public, and village residents have become increasingly frustrated as other suspended former employees used the same legal strategy.

This has caused Port Chester political insiders to start speculating that former Westmore News columnist Bart Didden has seen the writing on the wall after reading that both the Westmore News and the Journal News strongly endorsed Mayor Dennis Pilla for a third term. Port Chester residents have barely heard a peep from the USA Central Station Alarm Company owner since the Westchester County Fair Campaign Practices Committee rejected his silly little compliant and ruled that Bart Didden misstated the facts.  Didden's major problem is that he just can't seem to run away from his racist past.
