Federal indictments in Mount Vernon investigations
Here’s what they’re talking about in Mount Vernon today, from the lead of our story by reporters Jonathan Bandler, Jorge Fitz-gibbon and Tim O’Connor:
“City Hall was left reeling yesterday after two federal indictments charged a former commissioner, a local entrepreneur and two trash haulers with cheating the city out of more than $2.5 million.
“Former Planning Commissioner Constance “Gerrie” Post was indicted on charges that she steered city funds to a friendly developer – including more than $1 million in no-bid contracts.
“Just hours earlier, Albert “Allie Boy” Tranquillo III and an associate, Michael Pizzolongo, were charged with overbilling the city by $1.25 million to remove refuse from a city storage yard.

You can read the trash-hauling indictment here. I haven’t seen an electronic version of the Gerrie Post charges, but the U.S Attorney’s office press release is here.
