Ex-Town Foreman, Business Owner Indicted in Illegal Dumping Scheme
July 27, 2022--Rick Pezzullo

A former longtime Town of Cortlandt employee and owner of a prominent Peekskill-based landscaping company were indicted last week in federal court for an alleged illegal dumping and bribery scheme at a town facility on Arlo Lane.

The seven-count indictment against Robert Dyckman, 51, former Assistant General Foreman in Cortlandt’s Department of Environmental Service Highway Division, and Glenn Griffin, 53, owner, president and principal of Griffin’s Landscaping Corporation, was announced July 21 by Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Michael Driscoll, the Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“As alleged, Robert Dyckman, a former Town of Cortlandt employee, used his position of trust to enrich himself by allowing Glenn Griffin to dump unauthorized materials at the town’s facility, which will cost the town as much as $1.5 million to clean up,” Williams stated. “Griffin is also alleged to have defrauded the Village of Croton-on-Hudson and the hamlet of Verplanck in a separate bid rigging scheme.

IN THE NEWS....YES...AS UNPLEASANT AS IT IS.....A RECESSION....THE DEFINITION THEN...THE SAME DEFINITION NOW

We should avoid a semantic battle” said Janet Yellen yesterday. “A what?” In short it seems what the Treasury Secretary means is that we should not use the word “recession.”

That is a shame, because people, including Yellen’s boss, used to like to use the word a lot. In October 2020, when he was running for office, Joe Biden said “President Obama and I left Donald Trump a booming economy – and he caused a recession. He squandered it just like he has everything else he’s inherited in his life.” He said the same thing in September 2020, claiming that American was in a “recession created by Donald Trump’s negligence.”

Fast forward a couple of years and The White House is now reframing the meaning of the word and warning us all not to use it. It is true that until yesterday it was generally agreed that two straight quarters of negative GDP growth was the common definition of a recession. But yesterday President Biden said, “That doesn’t sound like a recession to me.” This fact should surprise no one.

Because re-naming things is one of the left’s favorite pastimes. MORE AT https://nypost.com/2022/07/28/undocumented-underhoused-chestfed-kids-are-not-in-a-recession-say-dems/
