Document:
In yet another chapter in the five year saga of 87 year-old Rye resident Bob Schubert vs. Rye City, the City had Schubert removed from Rye City Hall Friday by police and under court order has banned him from re-entering the building.
In a complaint filed against Schubert Friday charging "Harassment in the 2nd Degree" it is charged "Beginning in March, the defendant did visit the City Manager's office on an almost daily basis, unannounced and without an appointment to see the City Manager. When asked to leave, he refused to do so. The defendant did while in the City Manager's office did refer to obtaining a pistol and causing a "Tuscon-like" event to create attention to his dispute. While inside the City Manager's office, defendant did state that if he showed up at City Hall with a gun then people would be forced to notice him and take him seriously. Defendant also made statements that he would drive a car through the store window of city Councilwoman Parker."
Schubert was ordered to stay away from "Rye City Hall except when accompanied by his attorney" and specifically instructed to stay away from Rye City Clerk Eleanor Militana.
Speaking to MyRye.com on Sunday, Schubert said he started going to see Pickup about his pond earlier this month and that each day "we'd sit there for a couple of hours (each day)... on Friday he was getting a little PO'ed about it."
Schubert said his comments about Tuscon and Parker were taken completely out of context. As an example, Schubert said he had said that someone should be arrested for destroying his pond, just like he would be arrested if he drove his car into Parker's store. "I never said in the world I'd get a gun," Schubert told MyRye.com "It's dirty pool, the whole damn thing."
No one from Rye City returned a comment to MyRye.com Sunday.
Chantal, you’re not the only one who has come forward to tell the truth under oath so far.
The documents that “disappeared” at City Hall and elsewhere have also now come back like Marley’s Ghost to corroborate your testimony and what you told the city council and the public. And get this - Ms. Wilson now wants to see them. To do exactly what with them? Same thing that was done under Kevin Plunkett before?
Time for this cruel municipal charade to end. Mr. Schubert is not the only one the malefactors behind this mess have contempt for.
I just want "honest citizen" to know that I am still here. I didn't go away. I did not speak up because I am a disgruntle past employee. You obviously don't know me. It was killing me to lie to Mr. Schubert when I was working for the City. I lied at the time because I felt it was important to be a loyal employee and I thought for sure that somehow it would all work out. There were many consequences in me speaking up. The worst of all........ I knew that what i had to say would make some of the grestest city employees look bad. Some dug there own grave but others were inocent in the matter and i knew it was going to look bad for them. I lost some of the best friends I ever had. They are good people and all Rye residents should be proud to have them working for you!
I spoke up and said what needed to be said. I don't want to write on myrye etc. Because I don't want to get involved in constantly defending my words and dealing with people picking my words apart.
I have heard that Judge Latwin has recused himself from the Schubert harassment case. Does anyone know why?
Yes, he served in WWII; that doesn't give him the right to monopolize city officials' time or to make alleged threats. For those of you who are always complaining about high taxes, why should we pay the city manager to spend 3 to 4 hours a day talking to someone who insists on being heard over and over and over again?
beginning of the month when he began appearing at City Hall on a daily basis to see City Manager Scott Pickup. The conversations between the two were lengthy, sometimes between two and three hours, with Schubert admitting that he felt the need to press the issue. But during the span, he allegedly made some controversial comments that raised red flags.
Schubert to leave. Schubert refused. After a brief exchange, Pickup called police to pursue a charge that had already been in the works.
For all those who’ve recently reached out with offers to help here, thank you.
Rye City to Schubert – in their own words.
Rye City Hydrologist – not so independent after all.
It's very very sad when everyone in Rye voted for a new administration because they felt it was time for change. Yet new people same results. French fry is in over his head. This Council is doing the same as the last. The Police Commissioner does whatever he wants despite a continue vote of no confidence. A puppet to the council. Rye is no longer the Rye all of us once knew. The old school is being priced out and the new school is coming in. Despite all the money in this town and yet still wasteful spending, empty store fronts and a country feel that is disappearing with development on every piece of free land.
Yes “Change,” an interest by any of those outside groups would I think be now in the interest of justice here. It’s just that our expectations have always been that this problem – these prior bad acts - would have been solved through the last election process where we were promised the existing laws on the books of Rye would be utilized. A local solution rather than one controlled by outside influences is I believe always preferable. But Bob doesn’t have much more time with us, so he’s apparently improvising.
Has anyone sent the depositions from the Schubert case to the Westchester County’s District Attorney’s office or better yet to the US Attorney’s office? I also understand the FBI has a unit located on Bloomingdale Road in White Plains that investigates Public Corruption. Maybe they should have a copy of the depositions.
I’ve been opposed to any form of civil disobedience by Bob in this matter for some time. Yet the fact remains that anyone who’s seen the array of evidence gathered here (at great expense) has been shocked. And so far, unfortunately, the city council refuses to join that group. So I’ll suggest once again that perhaps the Rye City taxpayers would be better served all around if the local investigation previously called for by Judge Carey, Councilman Sack and others were to begin, and all the expensive legal stonewalling we’re currently paying for is curtailed.
