Port Chester Overnight Parking Restricted To Combat Noise


New overnight parking restrictions are soon to take effect on North Main Street in Port Chester as a result of the infamous robbery of an unconscious man there last year, and in an effort to assuage noise and other neighborhood disturbances......

Bryan Santucci over at the controversial Facebook group known as "Making Port Chester A BITTER Place" is probably going to be upset, because he is always ranting how the Port Chester police and building departments are to hard on Main Street bars.


Bryan Santucci Im just tired of all these parking rules etc... Now im not allowed to be at a bar past 1am? Maybe every bad should close at 1am 


Bartender pour Bart Didden's degenerate alcoholic friend another drink, so he can rant about how he is going to make Port Chester a better place. Hey Bryan what do you think about Port Chester.....

This Village is going down the Shitter faster than we all can flush our own toilets!!

Bryan Let Me Help You Out......

This Is What You Should Not Say If You Are Ever Pulled Over By The Port Chester Police Department After Leaving A Main Street Bat At Three Thirty In The Morning......

Bryan Never Answer Like This...
  1. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.
  2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
  3. Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
  4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!
  5. Are You Andy or Barney?
  6. Is it true that guys become cops because they can't work at McDonald's ?
  7. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
  8. If you'd try the stuff I just had, you wouldn't be so damn uptight.
  9. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!
  10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
  11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around. That's how far ahead of me they are.
  12. When the Officer says "Gee Bryan....Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with,"Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"
  13. What? You need a license to drive?
  14. Wow, no wonder your wife sleeps around, with your breath!
  15. Is your power a penis substitute?
  16. Yes, I know my driving is not 100%, but you have to agree that it is still pretty good for someone who is completely drunk.
  17. Can you come back in 5 minutes? I'm in the middle of a telephone conversation.
  18. Oops...I thought you were a prostitute.
  19. Do I have any fruits or vegetables? I don't know. Is cocaine a fruit or vegetable?
  20. A hundred dollar fine? Well, I think George Washington can change your mind.
  21. I and Bart Didden's cousin Keith Morlino pay your salary!
  22. Did you pull me over because of the drugs under the seat, the body in the trunk, or the burned out tail-light?
  23. Whoops, that's the fake one... here ya go, this is the one.
  24. Gee, that gut sure doesn't inspire confidence.
  25. Careful Officer, I am Bart Didden's drinking buddy.
  26. My gun fell off my lap and got lodged on the gas pedal.
  27. Hey, is that a 9mm ? That's nothing compared to this .44 magnum!
  28. Do you have any idea how much of a hurry I'm in. I have to go to Linda Turturino public safety committee meetings?
  29. You're lucky this car needs a tune-up or you'd have never caught me.
  30. In on Main Street in Port Chester we drive like that all the time, what's the problem?
  31. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.
  32. Aren't there real crooks somewhere you should be catching?
  33. Well, those two other guys didn't stop for that school bus either.
  34. Yes, I saw your lights on, but I thought you going to get a doughnut.
  35. Just had to try out that new siren, didn't you?
  36. Do you have any idea who you're talking to. I know Bart Didden cousin Keith Morlino?
  37. There's no way I was going 85. I had the cruise set at 80.
  38. What's wrong, Ossifer? I swear to drunk I'm not God! And really, there is no blood in my alchohol.
  39. That uniform makes your ass look really big.
  40. You don't happen to have any beer in your car?
  41. I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.
  42. So what if I was speeding? Don't Make me call Elizabeth Czajkowski-Rotfeld! Whatcha gonna do about it Mr. Hotshot?
Alight, just one more joke.....

A Port Chester Police Officer had just pulled over Bryan Santucci after he just left a Main Street bar just before the morning dawn. He had had run a stop sign. "May I see your driver's license and registration please."

"What's the problem, officer?"

"You just ran that stop sign back there."

"Oh come on, pal, there wasn't a car within miles of me."

"Nevertheless sir, you are required to come to a complete stop, look both ways, and proceed with caution."

"You gotta be kidding me!"

"It's no joke, sir."

"Look, I slowed down almost to a complete stop, saw no one within twenty miles, and proceeded with caution."

"That's beside the point, sir. You are supposed come to a complete stop, and you didn't. Now if I may see your license and"

"You've got a lot of time on your hands, pal. What's the matter, all the doughnut shops closed. Don't You know who I am? I am a leading member of the "Making Port Chester A Better Place Group!!!! I was at the public safety committee meeting with Bart Didden's cousin Keith Morlino."

"Sir, I'll overlook those last comments. Let me see your license and registration immediately."

"I will, if you can tell me the difference between slowing down, and coming to a complete stop."

The policeman had enough. "Sir, I can do better than that." He opened the car door, dragged the rude Bryan Santucci out, and proceeded to methodically beat him over the head with his nightstick.

"Now sir, would you like for me to slow down or come to a complete stop?

Now that's "Making Port Chester A Better Place"!!!!

Liz Czajkowski-Rotfeld If You Think Things Are Bad Now, Then Just Wait Until Bart Didden And Company Get Their Way And Hundreds And Hundreds And Hundreds And Hundreds And Hundreds And Hundreds And Hundreds And Hundreds Of Rental Apartment Units Are Built At The Old United Hospital Property. Liz We Are Going To Need To Build A New School And A New School Bus Yard To Handle This.


It Is Now Time For Today's Little Dose Of Comedy From "Making Port Chester A BITTER Place" The Group Founded By Bart Didden's Cousin Keith Morlino. .....

Elizabeth Czajkowski-Rotfeld Joe...I said it before - you have a lot of greedy landlords that are collecting an S load of money from their tenants. They are stuffing them in there like sardines. They get rich - move to another community leaving us with crowded schools and jeopardizing the safety of the tenants, and our dedicated public safety professionals. Let em pay. Better hope I never decide to run for elected office.

Now Here Is The Local Intelligent Policy Discussing From The Folks Who Supposedly Know How To Make Port Chester A Better Place.....





Reasonable Port Chester Homeowners Just Can't Wait Till Bart Didden's Cousin Keith Morlino Starts Sending His Committee Liaison People To Take Up The Time Of Village Employees With This Childish Nonsense.

If Folks At This Controversial Facebook Group Really Wanted To Make Port Chester A Better Place Then They Would Be Discussing This.......

Far too long Port Chester has suffered, because greedy self centered takers have been elected to positions of power in this village.

It is time to put the good of Port Chester first.

There are many issues coming up in Port Chester, like should hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rental units to be built on the old United Hospital site.

This issue should pass or fail solely on if it is good or bad for the Village homeowners of Port Chester and it's schools.

Not on who may or may not benefit from the largess of Barry Sternlicht, Starwood Capital, Mill Creek Residential Trust or possibly Tri Pointe Homes.

Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla has said....

“Overall this is the single most important land use decision the Village of Port Chester will make possible the next 100 years, They are talking about adding hundreds of units, if they are units that are going to bring kids into the schools then frankly that’s a non-starter."

The Mayor has also said....

"The financials were underwhelming to me personally. There is a balancing act that we need to be mindful of here. If one of the kids needs special education it’s going to cost another $100,00."

All of the Port Chester Board of Trustees need to recognize that there are differing views on what the preferred development plan should be for this site.

However, we all agree that revitalizing this vacant and underutilized property and returning it to a productive use is vital for the future of the Village of Port Chester.

Finally, it seems that Port Chester is waking up and seeking out givers who will put the village first and truly make Port Chester A Better Place.

But make no mistake......

No matter what happens in Port Chester Starwood Capital Group And Tri Pointe Homes CEO Barry Sternlicht, is going to to laughing all the way to the bank once Tri-Point Homes IPO comes through.

Port Chester Is Part Of Sternlicht's Land pipeline.....

One of Tri Pointe's advantages is having a pipeline of land from Starwood, which has been acquiring lots since 2007, when prices were falling as demand for new homes collapsed. Selling Starwood land to Tri Pointe is a way for Sternlicht to be involved with both sides of the transaction, said Richard Gollis, principal at Newport Beach, California-based Concord Group, a real estate advisory firm.

"Having a public builder provides an additional opportunity to monetize their land inventory," Gollis said in a telephone interview.

"We made a big investment in residential land in '08 and '09 and we didn't lever that at all," Sternlicht said in a Nov. 30 interview with Bloomberg Radio. "We're just waiting for the markets to recover, which they are."

Starwood controlled more than 21,100 residential lots throughout the U.S. as of Sept. 30.

Personally, it appears that the honest hardworking homeowners of Port Chester are victims of a "bait and switch" and that Barry Sternlicht and Starwood Capital intended to build hundreds of residential units all along.

Unfortunately, village taxpayers may be left to clean up the mess, because some Port Chester Officials were wined, dined and pocket lined.

As Linda said above, go out and meet the candidates, and voice your opinion what they need to do to make Port Chester a better place.

I would only add that you should ask each candidate in what their position is on allowing hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rental units to be built on the old United Hospital site.

Port Chester Roundup Is Seeking Reader Help On An Investigative Story About The Port Chester Industrial Development Agency

 CAN YOU HELP US GET A COPY OF ONE OF NEIL PAGANO'S INFAMOUS PORT CHESTER IDA MELT DOWNS?

 We Are Currently Conducting A Journalistic Investigation About Some Reports Of Cronyism And Patronage At The Port Chester Industrial Development Agency (IDA).

 Some unconfirmed reports seem to indicate that this Cronyism And Patronage reach into the upper levels of County Executive Rob Astorino's Administration via Port Chester Trustee Joseph Kenner who has a lucrative county job with the Astorino government.

 We understand that there maybe audio tapes of an out of control Port Chester Industrial Development Agency Chairman Neil Pagano having a big fat out of control meltdown at a meeting of the local IDA.

There may have been an angry slip of the tongue from Chairman Pagano, who recently moved to Port Chester to take over his deceased father's local real estate empire.

If you have access to these Pagano tape or tapes, then we would like to hear them and get a copy to and post it at Port Chester Roundup, so the taxpayers of Port Chester can hear what is going on at the local IDA.

For too many years the problems with the Port Chester Industrial Development Agency have been swept under the rug with no accountability to taxpayers.

Recently, a local Port Chester development corporation was created in-name separate only from the Port Chester IDA.

Astorino administration employee and village trustee Joe Kenner is on the board of directors of this new additional Port Chester agency which will have the same board members as the Port Chester Industrial Development Agency.

Kenner who is wearing a lot of political hats is also Neil Pagano's vice chairman of the Port Chester IDA.

Wouldn't it be better to open up the process and bring more Port Chester residents in to help out instead of having Kenner wearing four or five hats?

 The Port Chester IDA should be another way for the village to promote and enhance employment opportunities and help foster an environment that says Port Chester is serious supporting projects that are beneficial to residents.

 It should not be insulated club for political insiders that isn't interested in welcoming partisipation from Port Chester residents.

Bart Didden's Cousin Kieth Morlino Is Shocked That Crime Occurs In Other Towns Besides Port Chester!!!! Patch's Usual Suspects Column: The Park Bench Defecator; Thieves Targeting Cooking Oil Used at Restaurants, Etc, Etc., Etc.....


A second arrest of an Indian Point employee was made last week in connection with the arrest of a Tarrytown man who worked at the nuclear energy facility earlier this month. The second employee allegedly stole several thousand pounds of copper wire valued at more than $10,000 and sold it for several thousand dollars in cash. 
Tarrytown police reported finding human feces on RiverWalk park benches. Approximately seven specimens of human feces were found on park benches and along the periphery of Pierson Park between late November and early December. The problem seemed to have stopped until now. 
An Orangeburg business was the target of a new trend in thefts when $334 worth of used cooking oil was stolen from a Planet Wings location. A Long Island man is accused of the crime, which involved the removal of 125.5 gallons of the used cooking oil.
Port Chester police confronted a 24-year-old Port Chester man near The Capitol Theatre after receiving reports that he was intoxicated and throwing his body into storefront windows. The man broke windows at two store locations before police were able to stop him -- initially the man refused to stop for officers when they called to him and fought with officers, according to police. Police searched the man and found he was carrying Ecstacy pills, leading to a seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance charge. The man was not injured from the incident.  
After a father told his daughter she could not go to a friend's house, the 16-year-old Rye girl called the police. Although the girl hung up, the officer who received the call heard crying and called back, at which point the father told the officer why the girl had made the call. 
A Brewster man apparently lost control of his vehicle as he was trying to exit a Main Street driveway and ran through bushes, over a stonewall, and onto the sidewalk before it hit a parked pickup truck and came to a rest. No one was injured and police do not believe drugs or alcohol were involved.
