11/29/07 - Translation Needed For This Article About Acosta, Brakewood, Crane, Didden, Lopez, Pilla, Quiroz, And Sorensen

Y que paso con los concejales seleccionados...no hay ningun Hispano representante...porque?
Cuando el Alcalde de Port Chester, Dennis Pilla, hizo un llamado a la gente de Port Chester para seleccionar a dos concejales, ya que habian dos asientos libres (siempre hay seis concejales y un alcalde), tres Hispanos sometieron su nombre y su CV para ser tomados en cuenta. Ellos eran Ariel Acosta, pastor de un Iglesia Pentacostal en Port Chester, Blanca Lopez, Directora de un Programa de Vivienda sin fines de lucro, y Walter Quiroz, contador de impuestos.

Y que paso?

De los 12 candidatos que postularon, la junta de Concejales apuntaron a dos afro-americanos a que cubrieran estas dos posiciones.

Y porque no apuntaron Hispanos?....

UPDATE:

365 Port Chester

Has Provided A Translation:

So what happened with the Trustee appointments?

Many have been asking about the English translation to the last post, so nice to see that our blog is getting around...here it is:

When Mayor Dennis Pilla invited Port Chester residents to submit their letters of interests and resumes for village trustee appointments, three Hispanics answered Pilla's call...they were Rev. Ariel Acosta, Blanca Lopez, Director of a not for profit housing program, and Walter Quiroz, a tax accountant.

So what happened?

From the twelve candidates who sought appointments, the Board of Trustees appointed two African American men for the two open seats.

And why wasn't a Hispanic appointed?

It is not that there weren't any Hispanic candidates who were not prepared for this position. It is the opinion of this writer that Ms. Lopez was the best candidate for this position, but the two Republican Trustees, Robert Sorensen and Dominick Cicatelli, and the formerly registered Republican and now Independent Trustee, John Crane decided not to vote for her. Why?...because they felt that Lopez was too involved in politics since she was the Campaingn Chair for Trustee Brakewood and former Trustee Pilla when they ran two years ago, and also Chair for Mayor Pilla, when he ran last year. So, Lopez only received votes from Mayor Pilla and Trustee Brakewood in her quest to becoming appointed.

Wow...never in the history of Port Chester, has a Hispanic woman...an immigrant woman, I should say, like Lopez been involved in promoting change for this community and in such a short time; and that is possibly why, because of her involvement, that is has also created some backlash, because we all know that when an individual or group of people advance in this social system that we live in, there will always be people who will try to stop their progress.

So, lets analyze reasons why these three Hispanic candidates were not appointed....

Early last year, Rev. Acosta ran for Trustee with the Republican team. He ran with Mr. Cicatelli, and Bart Didden, our favorite village racist who was the mastermind behind the so called anonymous flyers where he referred to Lopez as a "wolf dressed in sheep's clothing and that she was "in bed with Pilla." It was discovered that he had assistance from current Trustee John Crane and then Board of Education President Dominick Bencivenga with the planning and editing for this flyer. Everything came out in the open when the Dept. of Justice questioned Didden and he immediately vomited to the feds everything he knew and those involved.

So, it seems that although Rev. Acosta wanted to become involved in this campaign to promote Hispanic participation and most importantly, get the Hispanic vote, the Republicans used him to promote their stance with Hispanics and to show the feds that they had recruited a Hispanic to run with them. Sadly, although Rev. Acosta wanted to be appointed to one of the open trustee spots, nobody voted for him, not even his republican counterparts, Cicatelli or Sorensen. I think that the Republicans used Acosta for their own benefit, and when he needed them they left him out to dry. Poor Reverend, he did not deserve this.

Mr. Quiroz also submitted his resume like a good citizen, but I do not think that he knew much about what this position entailed.

Well, so now lets analyze why

Lopez was not appointed, and this will be easy:

First, there is a rumor in PC that Trustee Sorensen wants to run for mayor in two years, and for trustee this coming March, so now he has to work very hard to please the Republican party and he needs to strenghten his position in it. The problem with Sorensen is that he owes a lot of money to the village because he has not paid his parking tickets. I do not think that PC voters will suppot a candidate who owes money to the village and who has shown to be a bad example for village voters. Maybe Sorensen should give up some or all of the $5k he gets from serving as trustee every year, and maybe that will satisfy his debt.

On the other hand. Mr. Cicatelli just looks lost....he lost the mayoral election, and now he is serving a term that has already expired. It seems that his vote against Lopez, was simply for revenge.... well, that's politics.

So what about Crane....who changed his party affiliation from Republican to Independent a couple of months ago, and who also wanted to be appointed Village justice earlier this year. Unfortunately, Crane, an attorney, represents landlords like Great American, who exploit Hispanics and rent "problematic" apartments and rooms. Seeing how Lopez works in the housing area and knows about housing policies and laws, she may have been seen as a challenge for Crane. Also, it is not surprising that he voted against her since he was involved in the creation of the flyer which was sent to every voter in Port Chester.

There are so many things going on in this little village. It reminds me of a Mexican soap called "Pueblo Chico, Infierno Grande." But, we have to recognize that the appointments made by the trustees was a slap in the face to Hispanics. How is it possible that in a community with a large Hispanic population, there is no Hispanic representative? However, it is also important to understand that if and when a Hispanic candidate runs for office, he or she must be professionally prepared and want what is best for the entire community. But that person must also know about the problems and challenges faced by immigrants as they acculturate into American society.

It is important that we as voters learn and understand each candidate's platforms and the relationship that they will have or have with the Hispanic community, in order to be assured that they will perform a responsible job once in office.

10/30/07 - - All Of Westchester County Is Interested In The New And Inovative Open Call For Trustees That Was Proposed By Mayor Dennis Pillla.

HEADLINE:

Port Chester trustee candidates to make their pitch tonight

QUOTE:

"We have 12 very diverse candidates in terms of their experiences," Pilla said. "I'm proud that several of these people have no prior political affiliation since I am looking forward to bringing diversity of opinion and more objectivity to the board."

STORY:

Self-nominated trustee candidates, from former elected officials to political newcomers, are expected to speak at a public meeting tonight about why they deserve to be selected for two open seats on the village board.

A dozen residents responded to an open call by Mayor Dennis Pillla for trustee candidates. The board is seeking to fill posts that became vacant after a federal judge halted the March 20 trustee election......

......Each candidate will have the opportunity to speak for up to five minutes tonight about major issues and opportunities in the village and how to address them. Candidates also may discuss their motivation to serve.

The board's goal is to appoint two new trustees at its meeting on Monday. The new trustees, who will be paid an annual salary of $5,200 each, are expected to serve until the March village election, when all seats except Pilla's and Democrat Daniel Brakewood's are set to expire.

The village is awaiting a judge's decision on whether its current at-large election method - in which trustees are elected in a village-wide vote - violates the federal Voting Rights Act. That decision will help determine whether the village can continue using its at-large system or must abandon it for one in which trustees are elected from different districts.....

COMMENT:

Of Coarse The Obnoxious Bart "The Bigot" Didden is going to be asking Mayor Dennis Pila, Deputy Mayor Dominick Cicatelli, Trustee Brakewood, Trustee Crain And Trustee Sorensen to vote for his ignorant ass even though he is a lawbreaker who operates a business out of a building with no certificate of occupancy.

Let's see if Bart "The Bigot" Didden listens to Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Vilanova and apologizes to the Hispanic Community and Blanca Lopez, who will also be at the meeting.

The entire Port Chester Republican Committee published a letter asking for Bart "The Bigot" Didden to apologize for his two page racist flier, but the pig headed lunatic Didden refuses.

Now the insane Bart "The Bigot" Didden wants Republican trustees and a Republican Deputy Mayor to cast a vote for him.

Bart "The Bigot" Didden is like a crazy Pink EverReady Bunny that just keeps getting rejected and rejected and rejected and rejected.....

Good Luck To:

Anthony Saline, Two -Term Democratic trustee

Blanca Lopez - Housing Assistance Councilor at a Port Chester social service agency.

Ralph Rescigno, a sales manager and construction estimator

Ariel Acosta, pastor of Centro Cristiano Nueva Vida

Gregory Adams, Carver Center Board of Directors.

Brenda Crandell, a tax attorney

10/12/07 - GOLDIE SOLOMAN, MAX RAMIREZ AND THEIR SUPPORTERS WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG.

You won’t read this in the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze, but…

GOLDIE SOLOMAN, MAX RAMIREZ AND THEIR SUPPORTERS WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG.

Six months ago Goldie Solomon, Max Ramirez and their single family homeowner supporters repeatedly argued that Port Chester had enough money and that Port Chester Village could cut taxes just like the Town Of Rye Has for the last two years in a row.

Deputy Port Chester Mayor Dominick Cicatelli even agreed with Goldie, Max and their supporters by saying, “I believe that it is entirely possible for the Village to cut taxes.”

According to Trustee Dan Brakewood, the Port Chester Village Manager and the professional staff under estimated revenues and expenses by about 8%, Apparently, Port Chester is sitting on over 1 million bucks of extra money that would wipe out this years Port Chester Village Property Tax increase.

When are the politicians and the professional staff going to start listening to Goldie Solomon when she says, “Cut the taxes, we can’t afford this anymore!” When are the politician’s and professional staff going to start listening to Max Ramirez, who has repeatedly said “Give the homeowners back their money,”

This extra one million dollars in tax money needs to be refunded to the single family homeowners of Port Chester immediately.

The taxes have been cut in the Town of Rye two years in a row. If we can give each single family homeowner a Port Chester Village Property Tax Rebate, then we can go after Abel’s school board buddies and try and reverse the outrageous 13% Port Chester School Tax increase.

When is the hopelessly biased rag known as the We$tmore $nooze going to expose the outrageous waste behind the
13 ½% school tax increase that is choking the single family homeowners of Port Chester.

When the Port Chester School Union members told the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze, that ex-Port Chester School Board President Dominick “I Did Not Edit Bart’s Racist Flyer” Bencivenga had moved out of New York State for six months and not resigned from the Port Chester School Board. The hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze refused to report the story.

When school employees complained to the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze that Port Chester School Board Member Jim “Leave My Wife Alone” Dreave’s wife was illegally pressuring school employees to buy her overpriced costume jewelry while on school time and property. The hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze refused to report that Port Chester teachers were illegally being pressured to buy Ms. Dreave’s gaudy and tasteless trinkets.

Why wont the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze expose the waste that is behind this years 13 ½% School tax increase.

Port Chester Republican’s Do Not Support Supervisor Wanna Be Joe Carvin

In 2004, Joe Carvin applied to be the Port Chester Village Manager who would replace Richard “Fritz” Falanka. Joe Carvin should have been able to scoop up the job with ease.

Carvin was a Republican and Republican Mayor Gerald Logan and Six other Republican Trustees governed Port Chester. Also, Carvin was active in local politics and had strong political connections with all of the Republican Movers And Shakers. The other candidates lacked such strong connectons.

Carvin has a Harvard Degree in Public Administration and the other job candidates did not have the same prestigious degree. Plus, Carvin lived less than a mile from Port Chester and would be easily available for a village emergency, the other candidates lived very far away.

However, in 2005, Mayor Gerald Logan, Deputy Mayor Dan Colangelo, Trustee Bob Sorensen, Trustee Ken Manning, Trustee Pete Ciccone and Trustee Cicatelli decided not to hire Joe Carvin.

All Of These Main Stream Port Chester Republicans Unanimously Rejected The Hotheaded and Opportunistic Joe Carvin And His Harvard Degree.

They chose Bill Williams who did not have the local political connections or the Harvard Degree that Carvin can’t stop bragging about. Bill Williams even lived far away and might have trouble quickly responding to emergencies in Port Chester.

Why no City, Town, Village or Hamlet in America has has ever hired Joe Carvin and his fancy Harvard Degree in Public Administration to be their Manager or Administrator?

What Made Logan, Colangelo, Sorensen, Manning, Ciccione and Cicatelli not support and hire their fellow Republican Joe Carvin?

Bruno "Makes Out Like A Bandit" Gioffree Wins Again

Single Family Homeowners Are Angry That Cicatelli's One Vote Defeated A Proposal That Could Have Given Our EMT's, Firefighters, Police Officers, Teachers And Village Employees Affordable Housing In Developments Comming To Downtown Port Chester.

At the last Port Chester Board of Trustees failed mayorial canidate Dominick Cicatelli rejected a resolution to add the downtown area to a 2004 law that requires affordable housing in buildings that have more than 10 units.

Mayor Pilla, Trustee Sorenson and Trustee Brakewood have long been pushing to expand the requirement to include downtown. But Cicateli's single dissenting vote denied the EMT's firefighters, police officers teachers and village employees the chance at afforable homes, because only four of five trustees were present; four votes were needed for passage.

Trustee John Crane left the meeting, before the vote that would have helped out Port Chester's first responders and teachers.

The 2004 law requires all new developments to have 10 percent of their units set aside for moderate-income families and is intended to benefit first responders and other lower-income professionals.

The law applies to individuals and families that make up to 80 percent of the county's median income level, or $77,200 for a family of four.

All Of Tho$e Donation$ To Chicateli'$ Campgain

In April of 2006 Dominick Cicatelli voted to let Bruno "Makes Out Like A Bandit" Giofree and FMB realty to transfer multiple residential lots to the Downtown C-2 zone, thus cheating first responders like firefighters out of 10 affordable homes.

Bruno and FMB reaped a benefit worth millions and the firefighters lost a chance at 10 Affordable homes.

Trustee Domenick Cicatelli, who cast the dissenting vote, made some stupid remarks that really meant that he felt it was unfair give first responders, teachers and village employees an affordable home in one of Bruno Giofree's developments, such as The Mariner.

After Dominick Cicateli stabed the first responders, teachers and village employers in the back he said he would support the requirement if it did not affect The Mariner.

The developer of The Mariner, FMB Real Estate Services of Harrison, donated $500 to Cicatelli's 2007 mayoral bid, but the village back stabber Dominick Cicatelli said that did not influence his vote.

Nor did all the money that Bruno "Makes Out Like A Bandit Giofree influence the back stabers one vote that crushed affordable housing for his fellow firefighters.

But most firefighters say Dominick Cicatelli is not a real Firefighter that put his life on the line, These firefighters say the backstabber Cicatelli is a member of the "Fork and Knife" Brigade.

Yes, Dom is big on going to funtions, while being unable to funtion as a real firefighter.

Sorensen Is So Right

Trustee Robert Sorensen, chairman of the village's affordable housing committee, summed up the whole disgusting situation by saying.

"I thought that the interests of the developer came before the interests of the village," Sorensen said.

Trustee Sorensen does not oppose luxury housing, but rightly argues that the village needs to provide for the family's of first responders and teachers.

Oppps....

The resolution would have succeeded if the vote had occurred before Trustee John Crane left the meeting early. The Week Before Crane said he had intended to vote in favor of the emergency responders getting affordable housing.

I guess he forgot about the EMT's, Firefighters and Police Officers. Maybe fellow lawyer Bruno "Makes Out Like A Bandit" Giofree gave Crane a call.

Hopefully, the village can move forward with affordable housing for first responders in the downtown as part of our master plan,

Let's just hope that Bruno "Makes Out Like A Bandit" Giofree and his development buddies don't propose another downtown developement that will cheat the first responders, teachers and village employees in the meantime.

Thanks To Dom......

Bruno Wins Again

Abel's Fables

UNFAIR AND UNBALANCED

Part-time Westmore Snooze Columnist and Chief Pollster Bart Didden has once again proven that he is not only a Republican Candidate for Trustee. He is also Port Chester's very own village idiot.

Bart Didden recently was highly critical of Mayoral Candidate Deennis Pila for being absent from a recent board of trustees meeting. You would think that the fact checkers at the Westmore Snooze would inform Bart "The Village Idiot" Didden that Trustee Pilla has the best attendance record of anyone else on the Port Chester Board Of Trustees.

Worse yet, Bart "The Village Idiot" Didden failed to notice that two other Republican Trustees were missing from the very same meeting.

It is a shame that Richard "The Republican Spin Meister" Abel could take a moment to inform his part-time columnist and Chief Pollster of the facts concerning the pitiful attendence records of some of the Republican Board of Trustee Members.

I guess Mr. Abel was too busy having one of his almost daily meetings with Port Chester Republican Chairman Januez Richards.

Richard "The Republican Spin Meister" Abel always claims that the Westmore Snooze is beholden to no political party.

Why then did he allow his part-time columnist and Chief Pollster to falsely attack the Democratic Mayoral candidate that has only missed one meeting out of the last forty three meetings.

Maybe Richard "The Republican Spin Meister" Abel should post the attendance records of all of the current Port Chester Board of Trustee members.

Trustee Dennis Pilla and Trustee Dan Brakewood both have near perfect attendance, while the republican members of the Port Chester Board of Trustees have much lower attendance percentages.

Maybe Richard "The Republican Spin Meister" Abel, Januez Richards and the Village Idiot should go look at the Public Attendance Records before attacking Democratic Mayoral Candidate Dennis Pilla.

I am sure that Richard "The Republican Spin Meister" Abel will have his Part-Time Columnist and Chief Pollster report on the attendance record of Republican Mayoral Candidate Dominick Cicatelli in next weeks edition of the Westmore Snooze.

Don't hold your breath waiting.

The Republican Board Of Trustee Members should take there responsibilities as seriously as Trustee Dennis Pilla and Dan Brakewood do.

When is the Westmore Snooze going to stop being UNFAIR AND UNBALANCED.

Library And Villages Gear Up For Meeting On January 17th

A big meeting about the future of the Port Chester Public Library will occur in a few days.

The Port Chester & Rye Brook village boards and the Port Chester Public Library Board will meet at the new Port Chester Senior Center.

When Rye Brook and Port Chester got into a dispute about the funding of the library, Rye Brook contracted with Pace University to do a study of its library options for a fee of $20,000.

Port Chester Trustees Dan Brakewood and Dennis Pilla hoped the study woul be completed before the Januarry 17th joint meeting.

However, Mayor Lawrence Rand now says results of the study should be availablle at the end of this month. It is crazy that Rand and the Rye Brook Board of Trustees is wasting $20,000 for this study.

Almost, everyone in Rye Brook and Port Chester knows that the residents of Rye Brook are getting a hell of a deal.

Port Chester Public Library will soon be sending their request for funding to both Rye Brook and Port Chester.

Hopefully every thing will be worked out at the January 17th Meeting.

Aldo "The Patronage Boy" Vitagliano

Crashes Voting Rights Defence Fund Meeting

Mayor Gerald Logan, Deputy Mayor Dominick Cicatelli and the other Republican Board of Trustee members have repeatedly given Aldo "The Patronage Boy" Vitagliano patronage asignment after patronage asignment. Aldo "The Patronage Boy"Vitagliano has always given to the Republican party and the Republican party has always returned the favor.

Unfortunately, Aldo "The Patronage Boy" Vitagliano is not allways the most qualified person for the job. Mayor Logan really screwed up by appointing "The Patronage Boy" as the lawyer for the impartial voting rights commission.

Port Chester will pay dearly, because of "The Patronage Boy's" involvement.

Aldo "The Patronage Boy" Vitagliano, attorney for the Port Chester Voting Rights Commission crashed the Voting Rights Defence Fund Meeting.

"The Patronage Boy" was told by Law Proffessor Randollph McLaughlin that is inappropriate to attend the Voting Rights Defence Fund Meeting.

However, "The Patronage Boy" demanded that he was allowed to attend the meeting.

McLaughlin eventually allowed the disruptive "Patronage Boy" to stay eventhough the meeting was geared to the Hispanic Citizens of Port Chester.

Law Professor Randolph McLaughlin spoke about the legal issues surrounding the Department of Justice voting rights lawsuit.

Many citizens of Port Chester were speculating that "The Patronage Boy" was only crashing the Voting Rights Defence Fund Meeting inorder to run up the legal bill that the single family homeowners of Port Chester will eventually have to pay.

The meeting was organized by Cesar Ruiz.

Aldo was bragging that he changed the agenda of the meeting by crashing in uninvited.

The residents of Port Chester hope that Aldo's actions will not be used against the Village in the up comming trial. Aldo has already been quoted saying stupid things like Congress should exempt Port Chester from the Voting Rights Law.

Aldo made comments that he was trying to prevent the group from soliciting participants in a lawsuit.

Aldo "The Patronage Boy's" decision tocrash the meeting at this stage of the lawsuit is not wise or helpful to the Village Of Port Chester.

The only thing Aldo "The Patronage Boy" Vitagliano did was to saddle the single family homeowners of Port Chester with additional attorney’s fees.
