Correction Addendum Re: Personal Attacks Endorsed By Supervisor

In a previous post, entitled, “Personal Attacks Endorsed By Supervisor”, some information was misconstrued and subsequently misrepresented in the post. We apologize for the error to those affected and hope this post rectifies that error. 

We’d like to clarify in this post that Tamika Rose, the person accompanied to the Greenburgh police station by Attorney Robert Bernstein, was never a “suspect” in the investigation of the stolen laptops from the Theodore Young Community Center. She had said she could identify the one person caught on the surveillance video throughout the nine days of video capturing people going into and out of the secured area where the laptops were stored.

It turns out, contrary to what was told that the police claimed they already knew who was on the video, and didn't need to have Tamika come in to do any identification. The person on the video was Commissioner William Carter's nephew. The police insisted Carter’s nephew had been cleared of any wrong-doing without saying how they arrived at that conclusion.

The police had no explanation for why they didn’t secure the video and allowed Commissioner Carter to have it screened before it was turned over to the investigators. Several days transpired which resulted in several days worth of tape being erased.

We’ve also learned that the woman who “blew the whistle” on the improper goings on with respect to the swim teams at the center was, like Tamika, also fired for speaking out. So much for The Paul’s open government!

ABG and others think that The Paul should be more concerned about the lax internal controls throughout the Town and specifically the Theodore Young Community Center as well as the apparent nepotism at the community center. It must end. We can only hope.
