It seems that Mount Vernon's newly sworn in City Council President has chosen to further align himself with criminal and all around dirtbag Scam Rivers. As previously noted, at a city council meeting on January 13th, Yuhanna Edwards publicly embraced Scammy Sammy in an attempt to position Rivers as an important community asset. Well, Edwards seems to have gone even further off of the deep end when at the Jan 27th council meeting he again praised Rivers, a gun-toting drunk and convicted criminal, and even assigned him marching orders and tasks to work on. What's next Mr. Edwards, creating another $85,000 a year part-time city council office position for Rivers similar to what you did for another close friend?
Scam Rivers, who became infamous this past summer when he was found by New Rochelle police passed out drunk on a doorstoop with a handgun protruding from his waistband. Fortunately, a passerby notified police before someone walked off with the idiot's gun and used it to commit a crime or kill someone. However, Rivers contact with law enforcement last year wasn't just limited to being passed out drunk while armed on a city sidewalk. No, indeed 2009 was a banned year for the career criminal as he was also arrested on the Saw Mill River Parkway after being pulled over by a county cop who discovered that Rivers was driving with a suspended NYS driver's license and without insurance. Not only was he charged with these crimes, but he also was in possession of a Georgia driver's license. Now state laws are quite clear and they state that you can only possess a driver's license from one state - Rivers had not only a NYS license (currently suspended) but he also had a Georgia DL. Fortunately for the law-abiding citizens of Mount Vernon, reports are that the Westchester County Police went to his home and finally confiscated his gun and he currently does not have driving priveleges in New York State. Since he cannot drive, Scam is often seen walking the streets of Mount Vernon, which may be a good thing for him as his suits seem to be getting tighter and tighter. Could his recent rapid weight gain have anything to do with him slothing at the free buffet tables at the strip clubs owned by his close friend Sam Zherka, who reportedly is also under investigation by the Manhattan D.A.'s office??
Rivers' criminal history isn't just limited to his 2009 dalliances, he has a long record of contact with the law which includes bank theft, harassment and threats of gun violence against women. Sadly, our new City Council President Yuhanna Edwards has chosen to throw in with this despicable character and his fellow Maureen puppets on the council - Watts, Munro and Appuzo are falling right in line. However, this alliance is no surprise as Rivers and the Four Blind Mice are frequent visitors to the comptroller's office in city hall where they receive their marching orders which are clearly to destroy and divide our city for the next two years.
Those concerned with the direction that the new city council will take us really needs to ask themselves this question, do you expect your city council members to embrace and support someone like Sam Rivers? Do you want your city council to follow an agenda of division and destruction? Do you want your city council members to conduct business in the dark, behind closed doors like they did when they voted (with no public notice) to increase the salary of a part-time legislative aide position from $35k to $85k so that their close friend can benefit? How comfortable are you with a City Council President that has made it a point to publicly praise a career criminal?
Mount Vernon, your future is at stake.
Please help to shine a light on this absurdity and forward this email to friends and family.
