03/24/11 Another One Gets Away In Port Chester

William "The Mason Who Made Out Big Time" Oxer has decided to retire rather than face disciplinary charges related to Port Chester’s parking meter revenue collection process.

Village Manager Chris Russo has accepted his resignation and William Oxer gets to enjoy a taxpayer funded retirement, because the village of Port Chester has agreed to drop the charges.

Russo has once again agreed to drop the charges in return for his resignation.

It’s the same favor he did for Department of Public Works General Foreman Gary Racaniello who resigned last year amidst an investigation into missing parking meter revenue.

Gary Racaniello, who was in charge of the parking meter funds, was hit with 36 charges and suspended without pay back in September.

He resigned a week later, with a sweet heart deal dropped the disciplinary charges being droped and removed from his personnel file.

On January 21st of this year, 20 charges were leveled against William Oxer, the employee who was empting the cash out of the meters.

Oxer, a former volunteer fire chief who earned $57,614 a year in his Department of Public Works mason job, was suspended without pay for 30 days on January 24 and was back at work pending a disciplinary hearing when he made his sweetheart deal with the village manager of his decision to retire.

Who knows if the County District Attorney Janet DiFiore is still investigating the missing parking meter revenue and the crooks involved.

Maybe Janet DiFiore Is Disgusted That Chris Russo Keeps Making Deals With The Parking Meter Players.

Unemployed Mason's Should Dust Off Their Resume, Because William Oxer’s Retirement Leaves Another Opening In The Port Chester Department Of Public Works

Help Port Chester Roundup Get The Story Out (portchesterroundup.blogspot)
 
03/23/11 Where The Hell Is The Westmore News? The Westmore Snooze Wont Report On Port Chester's FIRST Parking Meter Scandal And How Port Chester Trustee Sam Terenzi, And Matt Troy Were Involved, But Port Chester Roundup Will 


Everyone is reporting on the SECOND Port Chester Parking Meter scandal, but no one is reporting about the FIRST Port Chester Parking Meter Scandal.


Just about everyone in Port Chester knows that last October, Trustee Sam Terenzi was called in to speak to investigators at the Public Integrity Bureau after an outburst during a public meeting in which he referred to a tipster in the parking meter probe as a rat.


It appears that Sam Terenzi's unique experiences with Port Chester Parking meters seem to have given him some special insights and insider information about the SECOND Port Chester parking meter scandal.


Port Chester Roundup is currently working on a story about the FIRST Port Chester Parking Meter Scandal and would like Village residents in the know to send their remembrances and news tips to PortChesterRoundup@gmail.com.


Anonymous news tips about Port Chester's FIRST Parking Meter Scandal can be sent to PortChesterRoundup@gmail.com.


PORT CHESTER ROUNDUP UPDATE:

Today Port Chester Roundup is getting word that over a decade ago the Port Chester Police Department and the Village Manager were made aware of the meter thefts by village employees.

This information was given to the Village Manager by the Westchester County. District Attorney's office during an undercover investigation unrelated to the theft.

Now fifteen years later and millions of taxpayer dollars later the Westchester County District Attorney's and the Port Chester Police Department are all shocked that there were Parking Meter Thefts.

So far on one has been arrested and most Port Chester taxpayers expect no arrests due to the fact that many of the same people are investigating the current thefts.

PORT CHESTER ROUNDUP UPDATE #2

Another Port Chester resident is reporting that Port Chester Trustee Sam Terenzi and Matt Troy were dragged down to the Westchester County District Attorney's office was investigating reported wrong doings with an amnesty program in the parking violations bureau.


Apparently, the Port Chester Police Chief was unable to develop a case that Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro to move forward on.

After 25 years of being involved in Port Chester politics Trustee Sam Terenzi has had his snout in many public troughs. It doesn't matter if Terenzi is running as a Conservative, a Democrat or a Republican he always ends up with taxpayer funded contract or appointment.

Right, Port Chester Trustee Sam Terenzi he is running around Port Chester telling his 200 bullet voting cronies that Joe Carvin has to be reelected as the Rye Town Supervisor or he will be out $60,000.

And if Terenzi is not taken care of then his key bullet voting supporters wont be taken care of with taxpayer funded goodies.

CYP basketball: Charney, Port Chester police, step up for local team

"When I found out the Port Chester CYP team needed a coach, I was interested in taking over the team," Chad Charney said. "They were originally the Port Chester Kings, but that's a different funding, so I was able to get someone in the Port Chester Police Department, who was a family friend, to do it. His last name is Savage, so that's why I picked Savages."
Charney brought in some players that Purchase hopes to recruit, including New Rochelle's Craig Dorn, Yorktown's Jordan Moody, Peekskill's Shaine Carter, White Plains' Alexis Nunez, and Port Chester's Joel Neri.....
