Who In Their Right Mind Would Vote For Non-Conservative Sam "No W-9" Terenzi For Port Chester Trustee?
He mismanaged personal and business finances
He owes NY State over $220,000 in back taxes
He is delinquent on Federal taxes
Public records reveal that Terenzi has over one million in foreclosures, judgements and liens filed against him
He puts political interests first and Port Chester second or third
He is hired as $41G Rye Town Accountant (a no-bid contract) by Rye Town Supervisor Joseph Carvin, who is refusing to garnishing Ternzi's payments for the state of New York
Sam Terenzi voted to give $250,000 contract to Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin’s brother and I wonder if that is the reason that Terenzi's payments are not being garnished.
Terenzi voted to hire inexperienced ex-Port Chester Republican Chairman and failed Chiropractor Janus Richards as the $75,000 Village Clerk. The Good news is that his wife who is the daughter of the former owner of WGCH doesn't have to spend so much to support Janus now.
Terenzi disrupts and disrespects fellow Port Chester trustee meetings and trustees. He has basically created his own reality cable TV show at trustee meetings. All of his antics have hurt the image of the village.
Sam Terenzi bullies residents at Village Board meetings, instead of serving the homeowners of Port Chester.
He disrupts. and orders staff to “Shut up!” in public. He is a walking employment lawsuit that is about to happen, but who care if the taxpayers will have to pay to clean up Terenzi's mess.
Terenzi breaks promise after promise after promise after promise after promise.
Sam Terenzi campaigned against addional housing in Port Chester
…then advanced Starwood’s plan for 820 rental apartments at the old United Hospital site..
Sam Terenzi campaigned against incurring debt …then voted to borrow millions
And the list gooes on and on and on.
Rye Town And Port Chester Deserves Better Than An Obnoxious Deadbeat Like Sam Terenzi. The Village Just Can't Afford A Greedy Gavone Like Sam Terenzi.

Trustees Accused of Violating Open Meetings Law After Private Budget Talks
Residents and village Democrats are calling for an investigation.
By Nik Bonopartis
Some trustees and residents allege Port Chester's Republicans violated the state's open meetings law when they drafted budget amendments privately this past weekend.
The three Republicans and one conservative met privately on Saturday and Sunday, drafting 80 changes to the tentative budget.
Trustees Bart Didden, Sam Terenzi and John Branca met on Saturday, while Trustee Joseph Kenner joined Terenzi and Didden for a Sunday meeting. On Monday, hours ahead of a scheduled public meeting and budget adoption, the four trustees sent their proposed changes to the board's three Democrats.
The changes weren't available to the public.
"We received these 80 changes to the proposed budget at about noon today," said Trustee Daniel Brakewood, a Democrat.
Didden defended the private meetings.
"I asked Mr. Brakewood if he wanted me to call him so we can get everyone together...he declined," Didden said.
"Well, probably because he didn't want to evade the open meetings law, but I can't read his mind," Mayor Dennis Pilla retorted.
Because each meeting included only three trustees, the gatherings did not meet the physical definition of a quorum – a meeting of four trustees would be a majority of the board. But village Democrats and some residents accused the Republicans of intentionally meeting only three at a time, and said it doesn't matter if the meetings were split.
"The spirit of the open meetings law talks about the fact that the public has a right to hear the budget process of the board," Village Attorney Tony Cerreto said.
The meetings sparked more than an hour of bickering Monday, pushing back budget discussions on a night when firefighters, police officers and their supporters gathered en masse to protest proposed cuts to both departments. The firefighters and police officers were there to protest $240,000 in proposed cuts to their departments, including budget amendments that would leave positions for officers and firefighters vacant.
For some residents, the meetings were reminiscent of previous eras in Port Chester politics, when meetings were little more than formalities and decisions were made in private.
"Maybe it's a good budget, maybe what they did was good, but how they did it was absolutely wrong," said resident Bea Conneta. "We don't want to go back to the backroom politics. What I can't understand is you've had all those meetings over the weeks...why didn't those things come up? Why did they have to be solitary?"
