EXCLUSIVE: Everyone’s Getting Paid – It’ s a Done Deal By HEZI ARIS
YONKERS, NY -- June 14, 2012 --It began like this. Yonkers City Council Majority Leader Wilson Terrero, as majority leader has purview over the Yonkers City Clerk’s budget. It was Yonkers CityCouncil President Chuck Lesnick who signed off on the hiring of Erica DelBenne to the Yonkers City Clerk’s Office with the urging of Mr Terrero. Ms DelBenne is 2nd Deputy Clerk Vincent Spano’s girlfriend. Months later, it seems Mr Wilson, having learned José Alvarado’s recent patronage inspired hire at the Yonkers Office of Constituent Services, in deference to the Westchester County Democratic Majority was perceived to have soured by Mr Alvarado’s allegedly demeaning attitude toward women, his all too often perceived arriving at work with what has ben described as alcohol on his breath, and his tardy arrival and early departure from work, brought Mr Terrero to his defense and aid.
SPECIAL NOTE: The relationship between Ms DelBenne is contested by Vincent Spano to NOT be true. Either way, Mr Terrero exacted a price for her hire.
Majority Leader Terrero worked out a deal, if not at the behest of Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, certainly with his knowledge and acquiescence, in which Yonkers City Council Minority Leader John Larkin (R-6th District), Councilmen Dennis Shepherd (R-4th District), and Michael Breen (R-5th District) agreed to support Mr Alvarado’s name for Yonkers City Clerk. A resolution to that affect was submitted to the Yonkers City Clerk’s office this late afternoon. In exchange for supporting Mr Alvarado to the position of Yonkers City Clerk, Mssrs. Larkin and Breen demanded John Jacono, Yonkers Republican City Committee Chair, employed by lobbyist Nick Spano’s Empire Strategic Planning (ESP) operation, and licensed Real Estate Salesperson under Paul Adler, Senior Managing Director of Prudential Rand Commercial Services and understood to be a partner to Nick Spano in the real estate business, was demanded to fill the remaining term of Yonkers Board of Education (YBoE) Trustee Board Director Michael E. Carey who recently stepped down from his posting at the urging of the Spano Administration. The ramification of the Yonkers Republican City Committee Chair working for Democrat Mayor Mike Spano, serving lobbyist Nick Spano, a registered Republican still, is a conflict of interest specific to the Republican Party in Yonkers. Can Mr Jacono promote a credible Republican challenger to a Democrat endorsed candidate whose boss is the same one he has accepted a position and stipend from, that is, Mayor Mike Spano, a registered Democrat? Is Mr Jacono planning to eventually step down as Chair of the Yonkers Republican City Committee? If not; he should do. The real purpose for Mr Jocono's appointment to the Yonkers BoE Board of Trustrees is for him to have a hand (control) in overseeing the $1.7 Billion Capital Improvement Budget yet to be fully explained by Yonkers Superintendent Bernard Pierorazio. Mr Pierorazio had advised a few weeks ago the YBoE were in the process of substantiating the numbers and the 15 year plan. Contracts galore should be anticipated for rudential Commercial Rand Services and Nick Spano's ESP.
Unrelated to al the above, Yonkers Tribune has learned Dr. Nader Sayegh, Esq., attorney at law, adjunct professor at a local college, School Superintendent at a private school, Principal at various Yonkers Public Schools, teacher, one-time chairman of the Yonkers Charter Revision Commission, Yonkers Parking Authority Board Treasurer, Yonkers General Hospital Board Treasurer, and so much more, is expected to accept a 5-year appointment when designated by Mayor Mike Spano next week.
Besides the resolution by the Yonkers City Council requesting Mr Alvarado be considered for the Yonkers City Clerk position is the ancillary aspect of the resolution that stipulated present 2nd Yonkers City Clerk Vincent Spano be move up to Yonkers City Deputy Clerk. Vincent Spano is a Conservative Party member.
A Republican position had been offered to Geri Esposito but was rebuffed by her lack of interest. John Rubbo has been offered the position of 2nd Yonkers City Clerk Deputy. Mr Rubbo is engaged in opening a micro-brewery in Yonkers. One must wonder where he will find the time to apply his efforts; his new business venture or the Office of the Yonkers City Clerk?
The non-aggression pact is thriving in Yonkers once again. Everyone is getting paid.
Best of all, when Mr Alvarado takes office as Yonkers City Clerk, an opening in Yonkers Office of Constituent Services will have earned Mayor Mike Spano to fill that position with another patronage job. Only “Friends and Family” may apply.
You idiots wanted Spano, well this is what you got. 3.5 years (or more) of this chess game. It will only go downhill.
The city looks like it is run by a bumbling group of idiots.

I dont know how you could be sitting there with that smile on your face. Just because Nickys going to the big house doesnt mean its over yet. There are so many aesholes like Nick in public office sitting in their air cooled offices dreaming up ways to screw you and me and the rest of the taxpayers out of the hard earned money we got to be able to sit and enjoy that cup of coffee on your porch. The Feds need a branch office in Yonkers.

Wow people ars so mean. What did nick ever do to anybody. Jealousy isn't a reason to hate. He always helped people. And the people in the political ge don't count because he has been on the receiving end many times. As for jail he knows he did wrong and will do his time. Life. Goes on and everything happens for a reason, remember karma is a bitch

So the journal news has a story up that fat ass Nicky's lawyers are saying he shouldn't go to jail because he paid all his back taxes. That's a funny thought, even though his plea agreement required him to pay all those back taxes.
So let's see, Your Honor I did something that I was required to do by the government by paying back money that wasn't really mine anyway which I only acquired by committing a felony. Please look upon me with favor since I'm such a good person. After all I said I was sorry!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm calling 18 months. What time does the last supper at Giulio's start on Sunday? Maybe Nicky will eat enough to have a fake heart attack so the judge will feel bad for him and go easy on him? Doesn't seem too farfetched with all the desperate tactics his lawyers have tried so far.
Enjoy those stripes prison boy, they may make you look slightly less obese!
PS - I really like how someone already made sure Fat Boy's wikipedia page (like he even should have one because he's a real celebrity!) to reflect the fact that he is now a CONVICTED FELON. I'm sure that wasn't done by the Spano camp
Posted by: Nick THE FELON | June 15, 2012 at 09:56
Heah karma you hit the nail right on the head. Karma that's why nick is going to jail because of karma.
Posted by: That's right karma is a bitch | June 15, 2012 at 10:01
Hey guys, on second thought the wikipedia page only has a brief sentece about Nick's conviction. That's not good enough
I say we take a page out of what people did to Vinny Leibell's wikipedia page and dedicate a whole section to the indictment and conviction. The best part is they can't do anything about it because it's all TRUE.
Let's get to work!
Posted by: Nick THE FELON | June 15, 2012 at 10:04
Really. It's all good buddy stop having so much hate in your heart. I am sure you are a political operative that the Spano family crushed so sad. And remember to love one another and to not hate.
Posted by: Karma | June 15, 2012 at 10:13
Vinny hired is girlfriend???.
Posted by: Side piece | June 15, 2012 at 11:02
Just remember that NICK SPANO is a convicted felon who betrayed the office he held and the people he served.
Posted by: anon | June 15, 2012 at 11:11
I believe we all no that. The point is less attention is brought to people that murder rape and molest. He knows exactly what he did and he owed up to it. Yes he is a felon but he is a man that admitted that he did wrong and faced everybody. There are no photos of him running from the press. He stood up and took his lumps. If you watch others they just run from ceras and don't even apologize . No one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Nick Spano is a real man no matter what is said on this site.

the actions by terrero clearly show his abuse of public office - people like mike spano , wilson terreo and jose alvarado is what is WRONG with politics..
Posted by: yonkers | June 15, 2012 at 13:54
So how come you just write an article about this girl and vinny without any facts? Where did this info come from? What if it isn't true, how do you think it affects the people involved with current relationships.
Posted by: Any facts ? | June 15, 2012 at 14:51

ALL the spanos are assholes bottom line and should die
Posted by: JIM | June 15, 2012 at 16:36
I dont know why people are asking the Federal judge to go easy on Nick, this case is more than just making a mistake on your taxes, or even willingly neglecting to report all your income. He willfully and knowingly took advisor money from the insurance company, and knowingly set up a phony company to receive these payments. If these payments were all legitimate, then why didnt they come to him or his lobbying company? The Feds were more than right to go after him, I just wonder how much more was never found out by the Feds.
