On April 21, 2016 I reported on this blog that, according to my source, Rich Pagillo, a police officer son of judge Yvonne Pagillo of Hobart and Watlon Village courts, has been dispatched to Texas to get a new "K-9" "unit".
I remind my readers that Delaware County, NY recently acquired an imported untrained German Shepherd pup (1 year old) by the name of Neron for $7,000 (!) and is claiming that the dog exists on donations from the public, but refuses to release records of donations on FOIL requests.
Lo and behold, the local newspaper, Walton Reporter reported on yesterday, on May 11, 2016, that the Town Colchester approved the dog for Rich Pagillo (after much debates) only now, while he reportedly picked up the dog a month ago?
Was the Town of Colchester aware that the dog was already a done deal before it went to voting?
And, same as in Delhi, NY, it was claimed by Pagillo that the dog will exist on donations only, and that Pagillo HIMSELF (a police officer!) will be running fundraisers to support the dog.
In other words, the Town of Colchester purchased a perfect excuse for drug corruption within its jurisdiction - whoever supports the dog, is free from investigation and prosecution.
So, since the Tractor Supply in Delhi, NY is now supporting TWO police dogs - from Delaware County and from the Town of Colchester, it can run drugs run through its cash system, nobody will investigate it, and the same for SUNY Delhi with vet care. Vet care routinely involves a narcotic inventory as painkillers. So, there will be no investigation or prosecution of improper storage of handling of drugs by the SUNY Delhi vet care unit.
The interesting part is that, at the very least, it was disclosed that the donations for the dog's care will be channeled through a non-profit.
Of course, I will FOIL the Town of Colchester for the name of the non-profit and then the non-profit for the donations and handling the donations.
It may be an interesting discovery, so - stay tuned.
