We Hate To Say We Told You So, But ......

Judge raises doubts over Port Chester voting case appeal
The Journal News | LoHud.com
NEW YORK — Just as Port Chester prepares to appeal the federal lawsuit that changed its election system, a judge raised doubts Thursday over whether the village had a right to do so. US District Judge Paul Gardephe is handling the final paperwork in the 4-year-old voting rights case, now that Judge Stephen C. Robinson has left the court.


In 2008, Robinson sided with the Justice Department and ruled the old at-large trustee-election system prevented Hispanics from electing their preferred candidates to the board.
Instead of imposing a traditional ward system, he let the village adopt the unusual method of cumulative voting. This lets voters assign their six votes any way they wish — using all six for one candidate or spreading them around.
After signing a consent decree and ushering in the new method, Port Chester decided to appeal, saying the old system never should have been struck down.
Gardephe said during a hearing in Manhattan that he was mystified as to how an appeal could be made. "My understanding of the law is that you may not appeal a consent decree," he said.....
....Randolph McLaughlin, a Pace law professor, said of Port Chester, "Their argument just doesn't make sense. This judge saw right through it."

Port Chester car 'booting' operator loses lawsuit against police over parking row
The Journal News | LoHud.com
WHITE PLAINS — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a New Rochelle man against the Port Chester police department over his car "booting" business. Llewellyn "Angelo" Williams, 46, filed the federal lawsuit in the wake of his March 23, 2007 arrest on charges of disorderly conduct and failure to notify police of a booted vehicle.

That arrest came following an argument between Williams and police over an immobilizing device he had attached to the wheel of a car he said was illegally parked in a private parking lot at 12 King St.
Williams had a contract with the owner of the property to boot cars that didn't have permission to park or were not customers of stores connected to the lot.
Port Chester had a requirement at the time that booting operators like Williams had to come to the police station to fill out documents informing police of the booting. Police said Williams had repeatedly failed to follow that requirement. Booting operators can now notify police by calling in the immobilization.
Williams charged people $70 to remove the boot, according to court papers. ...

.....Williams' lawyer, Richard St. Paul, said he might appeal the decision or file a state lawsuit on the claim of contract interference that Yanthis did not address in his decision.

After New York state taxes raised the price of a pack of cigarettes to $10, the owner of a Sunoco in Port Chester parked a truck a few feet down the road, past the Connecticut border into Greenwich, to sell them at around $7 a pack.

04/14/11 This Would Never Happen In The Village Of Port Chester - Yeah Right

FROM RYE BROOK ROUNDUP:

04/14/11 Rye Brook Insider Wants Village DPW Scrap Metal Thefts Probed


RYE BROOK ROUNDUP EXCLUSIVE:

It Looks Like It Is Not Just Port Chester That Has Corruption In Its Public Works Department

A Rye Brook employee who wishes to remain anonymous is calling for the Westchester County District Attorney to do a forensic audit into scrap metal thefts from the Village of Rye Brook.


The employee says Rye Brook administrator / clerk Christopher Bradbury refuses to investigate the possible criminal activity by village employees.

Rye Brook Roundup is considering filing Freedom of Information requests about missing pubicly owned scrap metal.

The Rye Brook employee wants Mayor Joan Feinstein to push for the hiring a forensic auditing firm to look into alleged scrap metal thefts.

The Rye Brook employee says years ago he approached a Rye Brook elected official about the metal thefts, but nothing was done.

Rye Brook has lost a considerable amount of revenue according to the employee.

It is time for the Rye Brook Police Chief Gregory Austin to start collecting detailed data on the scrap metal thefts. The Rye Brook employee says that there is most likely video taping at scrap buyer yards and at auto wrecking yards.

Why wont Rye Brook Police Investigators take the next step and start conducting confidential employee interviews?

The Rye Brook employee told Rye Brook roundup that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

If the Rye Brook Police Department will start interviewing people then they will get to the heart of the matter and protect the taxpayers of the village of Rye Brook.

The Rye Brook employee says that his attempts to report these scrap metal thefts has been "sabotaged" by acting Rye Brook Department of Public Works head Michal Nowak.

The employee says that Mr. Nowak has no wish for an audit of the Department Of Public Works to come out.

Are Rye Brook Administrators trying to bury a potential investigation by Rye Brook employees?

If the Rye Brook Police Department is unwilling or unable to investigate these thefts, then the Rye Brook village administrator should refer this matter to the Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore's office.

Rye Brook Roundup considers the village employee a reliable source.

If village employees were to gather some old junk snow plows and scrap and dispose of the metal, is there some kind of inventory or accounting system or accounting method for these type of activity?

Rye Brook Trustees Trustee Michael Brown, Toby Marrow, Jeffrey Rednick and Paul Rosenberg need to find out if scrap metal scrap cash is going in villge employees' pockets or being returned to the Rye Brook village treasury.

Rye Brook Administrator / clerk Christopher Bradbury is the only one with the authority to dispose of surplus property, after a vote of Rye Rye Brook's trustees have approved such a sale?

How much do you want to bet a Rye Brook police probe will find no criminal wrongdoing?

That is if a police investigation is ever conducted?

Hey, this is Rye Brook and the tax payers are rich and can afford it!

Rye Brook residents want that the Westchester County District Attorney launches a probe and an audit of DPW.

Will the Westchester County DA take the time to really understand what's going on in Rye Brook DPW Department?

The current administration in Rye Brook should want to see the Westchester County DA get involved.


And if village employees are stealing they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
