I attended the February 24, 2015 Town of Oyster Bay town hall meeting to discuss the allegations of misconduct and criminal behavior I observed and had I reported to Town Supervisor John Venditto. I believe I included enough evidence (pictures & video) with my formal written complaints to substantiate my claims. I have posted much of the evidence here on YouTube. In my appearances at prior town hall meetings Mr. Venditto had requested that he and I meet “off the record” to discuss my complaints and the misconduct I feel I’ve been made a victim of at the hands of town officials. He claims during this 02/24/15 meeting that it was I who repeatedly went him. Take a listen/look at this video and let me know what you think about that? https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video;_id=Cvs85pY7OlE He wanted to speak about my complaints off the record. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and did. Apparently all he really wanted to do was pick my brain for things to spin doctor. In today’s video you will hear Mr. Venditto explain that although neither he nor any other town official ever bothered to contact me and tell me that they had performed and completed their investigation of my complaints, they have and determined that no town official committed any wrongdoing! Of course the town won’t provide me with a copy of the investigation and findings as they have been instructed not to release this information to me by the Nassau County District attorney? Really? SO THE OFFICE OF THE TOWN ATTORNEY INVESTIGATED AND EXONERATED THE OFFICE OF THE TOWN ATTORNEY? Although Mr. Venditto indicated to me it wasn’t his intention to portray me as a disgruntled loser of a town code enforcement case, he went on to explain how out of 1600 summons issued only I had voiced any type of complaint. He used an analogy of the speeding violator who when caught claims, “Everyone was doing it, why me?” That’s certainly not the case here. I never claimed I shouldn’t be prosecuted because my neighbor’s park vehicles on un- paved surfaces. My issues are that the commissioner of the department responsible for enforcing the law and the actual attorney in the courtroom prosecuting me are violating the same law their prosecuting someone else for. Doesn’t matter what law or who the person being prosecuted is. If we have town officials who would knowingly violate the laws they enforce over others, we have a big problem! I had to give the town and Mr. Venditto the opportunity to act correctly and do the right thing. Mr. Venditto’s position on the matter is now clear. If I discover any additional facts that may help further substantiate my complaints I will notify Mr. Venditto.
