Lamm-pooned Lessons: How to connect the dots.
Dear Nieces and Nephews
Either the Orange County legislators are taking a lesson
from their counterparts in Sullivan County or the other way around, either way
bodes ill for the average home owner in both counties.
Auntie is concerned with the overlapping relationships
and associations between elected and appointed officials and their employers in
common and between themselves and the developers of Satmar Hasidic communities.
In Sullivan and Orange Counties, such connections seem to
point to a single person: Mr. Shalom Lamm of Black Creek Holdings, Chesnutt Ridge
in Bloomingburg (Guilty!), 7 Peaks (Shawanagunk Ridge) Ambit Energy and more!
If you haven’t read the previous post ”Lamm”-pooned,
please do so before you continue.
With this information, it is hard to believe that Dan
Depew working for Sullivan County is just a co-incidence or resulting from the
analysis of the better resume. Josh Potochek, the SC Manager, couldn’t possibly
be influenced by an influential SC Legislator, could he??? WHY did Danny leave
just a few months before his possibly re-election to the Wallkill Supervisor
post, if all was well? WHY just after Shalom Lamm pled guilty in Federal Court
to nefarious actions regarding elections in Bloomingburg?
Regarding Potochek’s appointment to County Manager, Scott
Samuelson said:
” In the course of
that discussion, it became evident that all the legislators held the same
belief that Josh Potosek had been doing an exemplary job as acting manager”. Ultimately,
it was determined, and I am happy to tell you that it was a unanimous decision
by this board, that we would offer the position of county manager to Josh, and
abandon that search, We are very pleased that he accepted.”
At this point you should exclaim, if you believed what
you just read, “What a coincidence!!! Isn’t it great that these things just
work out???” But no, let’s connect the dots:
Danny was recommended by Joshua (Josh) Potochek for the
position as his deputy. Samuelson (currently SC Legislator in the 1st District)
supported Potochek for the County Manager job. Samuelson and Danny have a
previous relationship through Shalom Lamm. See how it is done?
Auntie wants to provide you the opportunity to be a detective/researcher!
You can play too! Answer the questions below to see just how well you would do
as a member of Auntie’s Team.
In this game of “connect the dots” the first question is:
WHO is associated with the plans to establish water
parks in Orange and Sullivan Counties?
(Auntie is providing the answer for this first one)
Answer: In
Sullivan County: Dan Depew, Chris
Passante and Shalom Lamm (and Tony Cellini)
In Orange County Dan
Depew, Maureen Hallahan, Devitt Management of Montgomery
Sources:
Dan Depew Chris
Passante and Shalom Lamm (and Tony Cellini)
DAN SAID: “I grew
up in the Town of Wallkill, swimming and trout-fishing in the Shawangunk Kill,”
he recalls, referring to the creek which serves as the boundary between
Orange and Sullivan counties.
His father used to work on substations and hydroelectric
facilities in Sullivan, so he has acquaintances spanning Fremont to Mamakating. He also was a prominent
supporter of a casino here rather than in Orange County, and he once worked
with Holiday Mountain in an attempt to attract a waterpark.”
Tony Cellini
Former Supervisor of the Town of Thompson introduced Passante (Holiday Mountain) to
Lamm.
Dan Depew, Maureen
Hallahan (OC Partnership) Devitt Management of Montgomery
Devitt:
F. Edward Devitt has been the President of Super 8 Motels
Northeast Inc., Montgomery, NY, since 1976. Mr. Devitt served as a Director of
Greater Hudson Bank, NA (NY). Mr. Devitt is a real
estate developer.

Mr. Devitt is also involved with the Montgomery
IDA
and the Orange County Partnership (check the masthead)
with (what a coincidence!) Maureen Hallahan.
Please note that Black Creek Holdings had “water parks”
covered in their business strategy:
“Recreation Developments” aka “water parks”
Now, nieces and nephews, choose all that apply and just

BONUS QUESTION:
To which elected official in Montgomery, is F. Edward Devitt related?
Answer: (You will need to check this out for yourself,
but really, just think about it, google the first name that comes to mind along
with F. Edward. HINT: this family seems to have a predilection for using
initials for their first name.)
Question for
Maureen Hallahan of the Orange County Partnership: When you went on your “awesome”
water park vigil to Wisconsin, did you go with Dan Depew, the Town Supervisor or
Dan Depew, the representative for Black Creek Holding Recreation Developments?
Here are some more hints for the questions above:
Some further Dan Depew
information:
Town
of Wallkill Councilman of the 4th ward from 2002- 2006
18th
District Legislator to the Orange County 2006-2012 (sewer deal)
Served
as the Chairman of the Public Safety and Emergency Services Committee of the
Legislature
Elected
Supervisor Town of Wallkill – 2012; resigned 2017 (May-June) for Sullivan
County Deputy County Manager position
There is an old saying
that should be noted here: “The first one through the door, is the first one to
get the deal."

Oh Danny Boy perhaps CARMINE DI BALDI can be your room mate or Mr. Lamm an his associates.
Auntie, forward this to FBI it certinally spells out the situation perfectly. I predict arrests will commence in Orange Co.Sullivan Co. Rockland Co. & Brooklyn. This crew will inform on each other to avoid jail time. Politicans are up to their tukus in this situation.Thank You Auntie an Team for exposing this dreck.
Danny from Depewville lawyer up or take the 5th. Among your associates you are expendable. I would assume a GRAND JURY will be next or is already seated.
Auntie, Wow what a difference between your information and the article in the 4/12/17 Wallkill Valley Times on none other, than the infamous, Dan Depew. Title of the article is: "Depew's deals paved the way for bigger things." If I did not know better, this WVT article by Jessica Cohen, practically has Depew, walking on water. Maybe you would share some of your findings about Dan's career path with Ms. Cohen? Maybe she would like to do a follow-up article? Thanks Auntie for the truth you consistently expose.
Nov.9,2008 article is a total sham 49 $2M estates with 7 b/r's, on 650 acres this was definitely a ploy as a startup community. Even comment #15 at the end of this article states what the populace who adore Lamm really want from him:
Dear Mr. Lamm its very nice that in these struglling times you have the courage for such a great undertaking, I think klall yisroel would appriciate that at the same time you come up with a plan for housing & jobs or buissneses for the tens of tousands of avarege mishpachous who strugle with large families ble"h & can't find suitable housing that will acommodate their yeshiva & schooling + parnusa @ the same time, sullivan county & the whole sorounding area has tousands of acres of empty & neglected land that can be utilised for this purpose & in the same time make evetually a lot of money but all developers want instant returns on their money therfore no one sereiously jumped into such an undertaking maybe like this you'll have siyate dishmaye on all your other projects too.
His partner's excuse that the housing market fell out and their second choice was to appeal to the Hasidic population is pure unadulterated manure and I hope the Judge sees through this and gives no plea deals. All lawsuit monies should be returned and all elections should be annulled and new voting taken. FOLLOWING THE LAW is for everyone.
Lamm an associates attemped or did subvert our democratic system of government an should be held responsible by the same government they obstructed.
Dear Nieces and Nephews, it will be interesting to see how this plays out should Sullivan County decide to change from a County Manager system to an elected County Executive.
Certain people could always move a few mile over the border and still be close to OC
I hope the FBI is on this. There is so much corruption, it is truly astounding. Maybe I'm naive (heads nodding) but either way...it shouldn't happen, and we need our FBI and US Attorney more than ever...
Yea perhaps yet to be judge wm. Deprospo will hear his friends cases. NOT GUILTY
Bill Deprospo is only running for judge because he is jealous of his wife. He will be brought on charges within a year of his tenure as judge. He is not able to curb habits that have been long in the making and these "habits" will be his downfall.
He is not smart enough to realize that.
Google WILLIAM L. DEPROSPO ITS ALL THEIR all his under handed wheeling an dealing. This man should never be allowed to be a judge of any thing. I agree a scandle waiting to happen.
Why can't we have elected officials in Orange County like they do in Mamakating and Bloomingburg who are not afraid to do the right thing?
11:52 do not be silly. "Do the right thing". The majority of the elected officials in Orange County do not know what that word means. Don't you understand the word "corrupt". Only friends can get elected in OC.
