Off the top of my head the biggest ones are: (1) corruption within the Buildings & Grounds Department (2) corruption involving school district vendors over-billing
and paying
bribes and kickbacks that led to those two Federal indictments
and convictions; (3) corruption involving police harassment of a woman on behalf of the manager of a local beach club; (4) a child rapist operating out of a public middle school; (5) an illegal gambling
and pornography web site operated by members of the New Rochelle Police Department; (6) a retired police officer defrauding charities including St. Jude's Children's Research; (7) illegal asbestos handling
and asbestos removal at an elementary school; (8) an effort to artificially inflate the salaries
and pensions of senior police commanders; (9) the relationship
between the New Rochelle Police Commissioner
and a corrupt contractor, a man who has since been convicted on Federal corruption charges; (10) the sordid history of former New Rochelle Schools Administrator Freddie Dean Smith.
