DUBLIN, IRELAND (July 8, 2025) — Have successfully orchestrated a March 2024 coup to replace a professional, ethical City Manager (Kathleen Gill) with a spineless, unethical sock-puppet (Wil Melendez), Mayor Yadira Ramos and her cronies have looked for new ways to funnel money into the friends and family network with cash looted from taxpayers with millions of dollars in illegal no-bid contracts (e.g., Kingdom Community Consultants, Hip-Hop concerts, Jazz concerts, Juneteenth events) and secretive grant programs (e.g., Retail Tenant Improvement Fund, Facade Program).

The looting of taxpayer funds has continued unabated right up until today despite the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office announcing last month an ongoing criminal investigation and the insurance of subpoenas to senior City officials. It has become clear that the robbing and pillaging will continue unabated until indictments drop — and many are wondering what will be left by the time the DA concludes its ongoing investigation.
