Due to gross incompetence, the Village of South Blooming Grove — technically speaking — does not have a mayor, rendering all decisions since March null and void.
Let me suggest to you that the Village attorney, Mr. Scott Ugell, should have been the "knowledgeable" one to tell the Village that it had to be filed. One problem: he is NOT a municipal lawyer. He just didn't know I guess. So why has he been rehired to his position? The Village is paying him a minimum of $75 K/year. What has he done to earn this job? And now that there are about 4 law suits against the village, will he be defending the village? If not, WHAT DOES SCOTT UGELL DO FOR THE VILLAGE THAT BENEFITS THE VILLAGE?
I can tell you that he is not representing the Village in our Article 78 case against the Village. So of the 3 known lawsuits, that's one he's not involved with. There is also now a lawsuit from the Town of BG against SBG, so there are now 5 lawsuits. I am on the case involving Mr. Ugell.

That should say 4 lawsuits, not 3. Before I mentioned the new one. :-)
