02/15/11 PRESS RELEASE: Port Chester Mayor's Mismanagement Costing Taxpayers!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 15, 2011--- Bart Didden has uncovered even more bad business practices and possible corruption in Village operations, which has been confirmed by Port Chester Village Manager Christopher Russo. Over the past several months, it has been repeatedly revealed that there is a persistent and unacceptable degree of both negligence and outright mismanagement of basic but important Village matters, stemming from the inattention of Dennis Pilla. Such malfeasance is completely unacceptable from elected officials, and it must be stopped. The taxpayer's expectation of the Mayor's position is to provide executive CEO leadership for the Village Manager and Board of Trustees to ensure they deliver results for the taxpayer. Dennis Pilla never had such a position before, he was a professional consultant - and it shows. Recently, in his role as a Village Trustee, Didden uncovered even more bad business practices and possible corruption in Village operations involving the recently fired Daniel DeLisa, a Village employee who defrauded the Village by "outsourcing" his maintenance job someone else since 2001. Pointing out that this simply cannot continue, Didden stated that this was, "Just one in a series of examples of mismanagement by Mayor Dennis Pilla. I look forward to working closer with Russo to bring the needed reforms so this type of circumstance can never happen here again." Didden said, adding, "The days of handshake deals and verbal directives with no documentation are over." As more of these breaches of taxpayer trust have come to light, one thing is clear; Dennis Pilla is simply not watching the store. The abundance of disciplinary cases that have plagued Pilla's administration indicates his lack of leadership. In fact, Pilla's lack of direct, hands-on management and oversight has resulted in the loss of taxpayer dollars. Several examples of Pilla's lack of oversight include: · $1.5-$2.0 million for EPA-mandated sewer repairs, known since 2009, but ignored by Pilla · $50,000-$100,000 (est.) annual loss in Village revenue because Pilla failed to properly oversee the management for receipt of parking funds · $450,000 for the Master Plan project being two years late. Pilla persuaded the Board to pass a resolution appointing him liaison between the Board, the consultant company, and CPAC. However, the project's gone nowhere since Dec. '08 because Pilla let it languish · $87,000 in code enforcement fines have gone uncollected because there's little if any oversight of non-tax revenues, including parking meters and court fees · Water rate increases ranging between 4.5% and 6% for each of the next four years because Pilla's lack of representation during water rate negotiations · Liens haven't been placed on properties that received but haven't paid for sidewalk repairs · There is no oversight of projects to ensure appropriate conclusion, including street paving projects that came in under budget but required extra expense of a part time Treasurer's office worker to close out the project and reclaim unspent funds From all this history, it is clear that that Pilla simply is not doing his job -the job to which he was duly elected. "We need a new Mayor," Didden stated, "a strong leader, who is ready to enact sweeping reforms that will restore financial stability to Port Chester and allow our local community to grow and prosper once again." Bart Didden knows what it is like to run a successful business. As CEO of an alarm monitoring and security company operating not only in Port Chester, but in Milford, CT and St. Paul, Minnesota as well, Bart understands how to run a tight ship and get the work done in a professional fashion. Bart is proud of his own management record, stating "Off-site operations that run 24/7 are not new to me. I believe that the private sector has many programs for time, attendance, and employee verification that will only improve the operations of the Village." Once elected, Bart Didden promises to restore efficiency to the office of Mayor. "I know how to successfully run a business and, as Mayor, I plan on implementing the same kind of oversights and hands-on management that I've used for years in my own business in order to properly and effectively run the Village." # # # Read more about Bart Didden's Campaign at BartDidden.com Contact the Campaign by e-mail at info@bartdidden.com or call at (914) 937-2602 =================================== Please send your comments, news tips and press releases to PortChesterRoundup@gmail.com

02/10/11 More Of The Building Department's Coruuption Exposed: Port Chester Maintenance Worker Fired Over 'Outsourcing' Cleaning Duties

The Building Department's Chicken's Are Coming Home To Roost

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. Let's see if Port Chester Police Chief Joseph "I Had No Clue All Of This Corruption Was Going On" Krzeminski

When asked about the case Mr.Russo said it was just one more thing to clean up.

Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla said,"I brought in a professional management team that is uncovering patterns of corruption and rooting them out. These are things that have been going on for many years. They started before I got into office and are ending now. The buck stops here.”

The firing is the latest in a rash of disciplinary cases in the Port Chester Department and Public Works and Building Department.

• Public Works General Foreman Gary Racaniello, who was in charge of the stolen parking meter funds collection, was served with 36 disciplinary charges and suspended without pay last year. He resigned.
• Disciplinary charges concerning the village’s parking meter revenue, were also leveled four months later against William Oxer who was suspended without pay. A disciplinary hearing is currently being scheduled for Mr Oxer.
• Last May, Port Chester Assistant Building Inspector Frank Ruccolo was suspended without pay pending disciplinary charges and eventually opted for retirement.
• A slew of disciplinary charges have also been leveled against many other DPW workers for various infractions, and one was fi red for stealing gasoline.

Why isn't Port Chester Chief of Police Joesph Krezminski arresting these guy's.

Mayorial Wanna Be And Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden has repeatedly complained that Port Chester Village Manager Christopher Russo should have asked for an updated W-4 form.

Village Manager Christopher Russo said he didn’t see how this fraud would have been discovered even if DeLisa had been required to update a W-4 form to change his deductions every year.

Mayorial Wanna Be And Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden seems not to understand that Mr. Delissa could have come in and updated his deductions on a W-4 and still have subcontracted it out,

Does Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden think that Mr. DeLissa Would have just walked into the village manager's office and filled a W-4 form in a manner that would have said that he was defrauding the state retirement system.

Sometimes, it is just shocking how clueless Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden is.

All hell is going to break loose if they really ever start investigating all of the coruption surrounding Leonard Cusumano's tenure at the Port Chester Building Department. Many in Port Chester speculate of Mr. Cusumano would lead to Fritz Falanka and to former Department Of Public Works Head Billy "Ka Ching Ka Ching Ka Ching" Suma who went down south.

Maybe, they should independently look into how Lenny "Let's Make A Deal" Cusumano shook down and covered up the wrong doings with the building of the BMW Service Center that recently was able to emerge out of Bankruptcy.

But We All Know That Former Mayor Gerald "I Drive A Buick - Not A BMW" Logan and Gary "Forget About That Expensive Fire Exit" Gianfrancesco will never let that happen.

UPDATE:

Better Late Than Never

The Westmore Snooze Finally Reports

On The Story

Village custodian got paid while another did the work

BY JANANNE ABEL

Village Manager Christopher Russo has uncovered another skeleton in Port Chester’s closet. A custodian who was employed by the village and whose hours were being reported to the New York State Retirement System for the last 11 years was actually subcontracting the work to another for the last 10 of those years.

Daniel DeLisa was hired as a part-time cleaner in March 2000. When he was fi rst hired, he was responsible for cleaning 110 Willett Avenue as well as the Department of Public Works yard offi ces on Fox Island Road. His business got busier, so he asked and received permission from then Building Inspector Lenny Cusumano, now deceased, for another person to do it.....

02/08/11 PRESS RELEASE: Republican & Independence Parties, give popular village trustee nod to challenge incumbent Port Chester Mayor

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Port Chester, N.Y. --- February 8, 2011

Port Chester voters, unhappy with the direction of their local government, are uniting in their support of popular Village Trustee Bart Didden in his bid to unseat embattled incumbent Mayor Dennis Pilla in the village's upcoming spring election.

Didden has secured unanimous support from the local Republican and Independence Parties. Bart Didden  will be the lone challenger to Democrat incumbent Dennis Pilla who is running for a third two-year term.  

Didden, a successful local businessman who owns an alarm and security company located in Port Chester, was the top vote getter in this past June's election for six village trustees.
After serving in office on the Village Board for seven months, it didn't take long for him to realize that, in order to bring real change, he would have to run for mayor.

"Port Chester lacks leadership and is heading in a disastrous direction under Mayor Pilla, and if we don't turn things around quickly our village will be in real trouble for years," Didden said, referring to the village's ballooning debt and stagnating tax base.

"I have worked hard as a trustee to make this government more accountable and responsive to the needs of Port Chester residents. I have tried to make the village board get serious about our financial crisis. But the mayor has been totally unresponsive. Unfortunately, I have learned that one vote on the Board of Trustees is not enough to affect the change we desperately need," Didden explained. 

"Real change has to come from the top. We need a new mayor --- a strong leader --- who is ready to enact sweeping reforms that will restore financial stability to Port Chester and allow our local community to grow and prosper once again."

Didden describes himself as an "independent thinker" who will work for practical solutions to Port Chester's problems, mainly reducing Port Chester's $37 million worth of debt.

"I'm a businessman; I employ dozens of people from our local community and I know how to meet a bottom line. That's exactly what we need in a mayor: someone who will run Port Chester like a business and make village government more accountable and responsive to our customers, the taxpayers."

Local party leaders agreed and organized overwhelming support for Didden's candidacy on the Republican and Independence ballot lines. Didden received unanimous support from both parties.

Didden outlined his platform and agenda as Port Chester's next mayor.

"We must get our debt under control by adopting a multi-year capital plan immediately. This will mean tough choices but we have to do it. At the same time, we cannot balance our operating budget on the backs of our taxpayers, which is why I'm proposing a freeze on local taxes. And we need better long term planning to guide Port Chester's future growth through an updated Master Plan and zoning ordinance."   

Didden said he will also advocate for stricter code enforcement of buildings in Port Chester to address code violations such as jerry-rigged electrical wires, illegal occupancies, safety violations and overcrowding.

"Port Chester voters will have a clear choice in this election. If they are okay with skyrocketing debt, higher taxes and a government that ignores their needs, then they can vote to reelect Mayor Pilla," the candidate said.

"But if Port Chester residents are unhappy with the direction we're heading; if they are fed up with budget deficits, high taxes, and mismanaged government; if they want change and are ready to move in a new direction, then I am their candidate. I promise to bring the reforms needed for a better Port Chester."

Didden summed up his feelings on the race saying, "All around us we see examples of local governments --- places like Rye and Greenwich --- serving their residents much better than our government here. But I am proud to live in Port Chester. It's where I've made my home and raised my family. It's where I run my business. As a taxpayer and a stakeholder in this community, I feel we deserve better from our mayor. I know we can do better and I am ready to accept that charge."

02/06/11 Port Chester Trustee Joseph "Uncle Tom" Kenner Throws Village Minorities Under The Bus

THE VILLAGE IDIOT SPEAKS OUT

IN AN EFFORT TO GIVE

MICHAEL "MY FAMILY IS CASHING IN" CARVIN

A $200,000 PAY DAY

How Soon They Forget: Joseph "Uncle Tom" Kenner Was Appointed To The Village Of Port Chester Trustees, Only Because Of The Voting Right Case

What A Sell Out: Joseph "Uncle Tom" Kenner wants to propose a resolution would set aside $225,000 to retain Michael "My Familiy Is Cashing In" Carvin, brother of Republican and Rye Town Supervisor Joseph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin, at a rate of $750 an hour to fight the Department of Justice.

What kind of cockamamie plan does Joseph "Uncle Tom" Kenner have: To make the hardworking residents of Port Chester loose another costly Federal case, so the Republican's and the Carvin family can once again take the taxpayers to the cleaners

Here Is An Editorial From The Village Idiot Joseph "Uncle Tom" Kenner ....

The Port Chester Board of Trustees agenda for Monday contains a resolution to authorize the hiring of counsel to appeal the voting rights case. Judge Stephen Robinson found that our historical system to elect trustees violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The public will have an opportunity to be heard. I wanted to provide the facts that lead to my decision to support what two experienced voting rights lawyers have characterized as a powerful appeal with a substantial likelihood of success.

Prior to being appointed to the board in 2007, I believed that the establishment of voting districts — the typical remedy in Voting Rights cases — would not work. To divide a small village like Port Chester into districts is wrong. The only district the federal government could create with a majority of Hispanic citizen voting-age persons,..... Blah .... Blah ..... Blah ..... Lets Give the Carvins $200,000 Bucks .....Blah ..... Blah ..... Blah .......

.... I know firsthand since I, an African American who moved here in 1998 .... Blah .... Blah ..... Blah .....Lets Give the Carvins $200,000 Bucks .....Blah ..... Blah ..... Blah .......

......The decision to appeal is truly one of principle that transcends the cost of time and money. Port Chester's opportunity to appeal is now before us. We can remove the shameful and unwarranted stigma of the judge's ruling, which affects how others view us. .... Blah .... Blah ..... Blah .....Lets Give the Carvins $200,000 Bucks .....Blah ..... Blah ..... Blah .......

......I encourage the public to attend the Board of Trustees meeting on Feb. 7. The vote will be momentous .... Blah .... Blah ..... Blah .....Lets Give the Carvins $200,000 Bucks .....Blah ..... Blah ..... Blah .......

......The ultimate decision by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals will only further unify our community that stood together and endured the pressure of the federal government while standing up for principles that made this village and our country great. ..... .... Blah .... Blah ..... Blah .....Lets Give the Carvins $200,000 Bucks .....Blah ..... Blah ..... Blah .......

Joseph "Uncle Tom" Kenner

Who Is Selling Out Port Chester On Behalf Of Michael "KaChing KaChing KaChing" Carvin and Rye Town Supervisor Joseph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin

UPDATE:

02/08/11 Residents to Joesph "Uncle Tom" Kenner: Are You Crazy !!! Don't Appeal The Voting Rights Lawsuit !!!!

Trustees rejected Joseph "Uncle Tom" Kenner's idiotic idea of launching an

appeal on Monday night after a bipartisan move by Democratic Mayor Dennis Pilla and Conservative Party Trustee John Branca stepped in to delay on the vote.

Taxpayers in Port Chester may not like the federally-imposed cumulative voting system, but they sure in the hell don't want to pay for a costly appeal that is going to put $200,000 in the pockets of Michael "My Familiy Is Cashing In" Carvin, brother of Republican and Rye Town Supervisor Joseph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin

An Out pouring of Port Chester residents who heard about Joseph "Uncle Tom" Kenner's

idiotic proposal came to Monday's meeting, despite the lack of official notice that the item was on the agenda.

Almost universally, the taxpayers slammed Joseph "Uncle Tom" Kenner and Michael "My Familiy Is Cashing In" Carvin $750 / hour payout, as they repeatedly said fighting the DoJ would be costly with little chance of success.

Mayor Pilla and Trustee Dan Brakewood pointed out that legal experts said the original fight would cost only $250,000, and "they were off my $1 million," Pilla said, referencing the $1.2 million in legal fees the village has already paid to fight the DoJ.

Still others said it was a retroactive attempt to claim unity and draw attention away from extremist TEA Party lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden's track record.

Extremist TEA Party lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden, who is running for mayor, inadvertently helped the DoJ make its case when he distributed fliers during the 2007 mayoral election that warned, "the Hispanics are running the show already"

The federal judge cited Extremist TEA Party lunatic Bart "The Bigot Didden's flier as one piece of evidence showing bias against Hispanic candidates in Port Chester.

Thanks A Lot Bart For Getting Your Wife And Child To Help Your Fold, Stuff And Mail Your Racist Flyer.

It Looks Like The Family That Hates Together Stays Together.

Village Resident And Taxpayer Tom Kissner Summed Up The Situation Beautifully ....

"In my opinion, the village of Port Chester has already spent entirely too much of the taxpayer's money on appealing this in the first place. While I'm well aware that the cumulative voting process is very unpopular throughout the village, I would like to suggest it has actually served the village very well. The board of trustees, for the first time, reflects the community that voted for it."

01/25/11 Port Chester Turns Out To Picket Bart "The Bigot" Didden In Front Of T And J Villaggio Trattoria On Westchester Avenue

Infamous Port Chester Racist Bart Didden's Struggling Mayoral Campaign Suffers A Couple Of Major Setbacks This Evening At The T&J Villaggio Trattoria.

First Foul Mouthed And Bloated Rye Town Conservative Chair Sam Terenzi Could Not Get Port Chester Conservative Party Members To Support Bart "The Bigot" Didden.

The Conservative caucus resulted in a vote for Former Port Chester Mayor John Branca over Bart "The Bigot" Didden.

The Conservative party leadership has been divided between hefty Sam "I Got Junk In My Trunk" Terenzi, the current Rye Town Conservative chair and Gene Branca, the popular and former longtime Rye Town Conservative chair

Mr. Branca is the son of former Port Chester Mayor John Branca.

Former Rye Town Conservative chair Gene Branca said he was proud that the “true Conservatives” had spoken and rejected Bart "The Bigot" Didden's campaign.

If That Wasn't Bad Enough Bad News For Bart "The Bigot" Didden....

Twenty picketers showed up with signs against former Westmore News columnist Bart "The Bigot" Didden.

The signs said things like “We don’t want a racist for mayor.”

The signs made reference to Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden’s infamous 2007 flier attacking popular two term Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla and Latino supporters of his earlier mayoral campaign.

The lewd and crude racist mailer assembled by Bart "The Bigot" Didden, his wife and child became important evidence in the Justice Department’s successful voting rights lawsuit against the village of Port Chester.

The Federal Judge strongly cited Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden's hate filled two page flyer when he ruled that Latino voters were effectively shut out of the trustee election process in Port Chester.

Sylvia Rodriguez, a Port Chester mother of three, who is studying for her bachelor’s degree from Fordham University carried a sign that read “Bart is proud to be a racist.”

Ms. Rodriguez said “We don’t think he cares about Hispanics,” and also said, “He doesn't want us to live here.”

Ms. Rodriguez also was critical of USA Alarm owner Bart "The Bigot" Didden’s recent comments made at a public debate in the trustee race.

The infamous racist and extremist TEA Party lunatic said he would “starve” Hispanic apartment buildings by targeting laundromats and other services that serve tenants of such housing.

Leonardo Coronado, 50, said he was protesting because “we need somebody who represents all of Port Chester we don't need discrimination here.”

Esau Rodriguez held a sign that said, “Bart does not represent you and me!”

Others read: “Port Chester deserves better than Bart.”

The twenty Port Chester protesters were confronted by Bart "The Bigot" Didden Supporter Town of Rye Supervisor Joe Carvin.

Fabiola Montoya said,“Racism and discrimination is everywhere."

Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin tried speak to the largely Hispanic group in Spanish by saying my wife is a minority and she says Didden's flyer was not racist, but an example of race baiting.

Huh ????

'It's race baiting, but it's not racist" ????

What kind of LSD are they putting in the Harvard educated fool's tea?

Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin's bizarre argument in support of Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden is sort of like a pedophile saying, "Sure I penetrated the child, but it wasn't rape."

Many protesters in the crowd wondered if Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin had a bit too much to drink at T and J's bar and did not engage the lunitic Supervisor in further conversation.

Later inside the caucus at T And J Villaggio Trattoria the Rye town supervisor was fuming over the picketers’ use of the word “racist.”

Joseph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin, a Republican who lives in an exclusive gated community in neighboring Rye Brook just doesn't understand that diversity has always been the strength of Port Chester.

Many First Generation Jewish, Irish and Italian families got their start in Port Chester.

The Rye Town Supervisor said the Port Chester protesters actions were "totally un-American,”

It looks like Joseph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin has never heard of the First and Fourth amendments of the United States Constitution that he swore to protect and defend when he became Rye Town Supervisor.

Joseph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin is just starting to come to grips with the fact that Didden's vitriol is going to destroy Port Chester, a community that has always proudly been known for welcoming immigrants.

Maybe, someone should remind Joesph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin that School board member Blanca Lopez was a target of Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden's hate filled flier.

Maybe, someone should remind Joesph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin that Didden's hate filled flier targeted Latinos, and said “the Hispanics are running the show already.”

Didden's racist two page flier was used as evidence of racially based campaigning in Justice Department’’s successful voting rights lawsuit against the village, a case that forced a change to the trustee election system.

But none of this is important to Rye Town supervisor Joe Carvin, because his family is getting ready to make $200,000 off the backs of Port Chester taxpayers.

Joesph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin is pushing Port Chester to set aside the money and pay his brother Michael "Ka Ching Ka Ching Ka Ching" Carvin $750 an hour to assist in the appeal of the voting right's case.

$750 / Hour !!!! For Rye Town Supervisor Joesph "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin's Brother?

The Republican Party insiders are getting ready to once again rape the Port Chester taxpayers again, as the Westmore Snooze turns a blind eye.

But who would expect the newspaper founded by Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel to stand up for the hardworking homeowners of Port Chester.

But There Is Some Hope .....

But Is Bart "The Bigot" Didden Slowly Starting To Reject His Racist Views????

To Didden's credit he did call his involvement in producing the hate filled flyer with Former Port Chester Board of Education President Dominic Bencivenga And Former Port Chester Trustee John Crane as “wrong”.

Diddeen said of the picket "I understand how some people feel it was insensitive. I've come to regret my participation. We learn from our mistakes.”

But is this just clever words and political spin from Didden???

Didden, then turned around and said the hate filled flyer was "not racist." Didden continued “It may have been insensitive, but racist, no.”

It Appears that Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden still refuses to accept that a Mayor takes an oath to represent all the residents of Port Chester.

Bart "The Bigot" Didden and his hate filled flyer became part of a national controversy of voter rights and cost the Port Chester millions and now Rye Town Supervisor Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin's family wants to be the next set of heartless Republican's to get rich off of the Port Chester Voting Right's case.

Port Chester tax payers can't afford Extremist TEA Party Lunatic Bart "The Bigot" Didden and his out of town supporters Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin and Michael "Ka Ching Ka Ching Ka Ching" Carvin.

01/25/11 Where The Hell Is The Westmore News? Port Chesr's US Senator Want To Seek Criminal Prosecution Against A Village Bussiness

Politicians outraged by National Collector’s Mint, fake 9/11 10th anniversary commemorative coins 


BY Jennifer H. Cunningham 
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER 


Tuesday, January 25th 2011


Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Jerrold Nadler want to seek criminal prosecution for the ‘phony’ 9/11 commemorative coins. Smith for News Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Jerrold Nadler want to seek criminal prosecution for the ‘phony’ 9/11 commemorative coins. 


Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Jerrold Nadler want to cashier a company they say is peddling bogus 10th anniversary 9/11 coins. “I think there should be criminal prosecution here,” Schumer said. 


“I think people like this should be behind bars.” National Collector’s Mint, a private Port Chester company that has nothing to do with the US Mint, is selling 9/11 commemorative Liberian dollar coins claiming to be clad in “priceless silver recovered from Ground Zero.” 


Schumer and Nadler said the origin of the silver cannot be verified. 


They said they want the Federal Trade Commission to crack down on the company. 


In a statement, the company said the silver was "bought from a company who received it through one of the banks who stored silver bars, coins, etc. in its vaults under the WTC."


"We have lawyers' letters and a complete chain of custody for the materials," said National Collector's Mint.


A TV ad for the $30 coin - $35.95 with shipping and handling - also suggests it has a federal okay, though it does not and is competing with an upcoming official silver medal to help finance the 9/11 memorial.


"Every dollar spent on the phony coins peddled by National Collector's Mint is $2 that could have gone to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum," said Nadler.


The company said "we don't understand" the assertion that each coin diverts $2 from the memorial. It said it has donated $2 million to 9/11 charities.


The pols said that while the coins are breathlessly advertised as clad in 14 mg of gold - 0.0005 ounce - and 14 mg of silver, that only adds up to about 60 cents' worth of precious metals.


"The amount of silver and gold advertised is correct," the company said.


In 2004, the company paid more than $2 million in refunds and penalties over "deceptive" ads for a "Freedom Tower Silver Dollar."
