Local Business Prevails

In the face of outrageous challenges brought by R. Nolan of Nolan Propane (Ravena, NY), represented by “old-man balls” Michael Biscone, arch-shyster, (Ravena, NY), and supported by fake businessman, heir to the John Flach fortune, Aaron Flach, waffler par excellence, New Baltimore stands up for its own. Mr Randy Lent, operator of Albright’s Garage (more than 100 years in the Town of New Baltimore), prevailed. The New Baltimore Planning Board, under the chairmanship of Mr R. vanEtten, and co-chair Ms. AnnMarie Vadney, stood by the New Baltimore businessman, and his application for Special Use Permit was unanimously approved by the Planning Board.

Albrights prevails against the Coeymanazis. Puts an end to an alien monopoly out of Ravena, NY, Nolan Propane.

On the evening of September 10, 2020, there was standing room only at New Baltimore Town Hall, where, at 7:00 p.m., the New Baltimore Planning Board was to hear public comment on the Albright’s Garage application for a Special Use Permit to install a two-tank propane distribution site at their location at the junction of County Route 144 and US Route 9W in the Town of New Baltimore. The installation would create a new opportunity in the Town of New Baltimore and break a strangle-hold monopoly on delivery of propane gas in the Town of New Baltimore.

The Albright’s project is spearheaded by Mr Randy Lent, and was strongly opposed by R. Nolan, owner of Nolan Propane of Ravena New York, who was represented by one of the most hated and notorious of local lawyers, Michael J. Biscone. Nolan was also supported by Aaron Flach, heir to the late John Flach’s money and enterprises.

On September 10, New Baltimore sent three clowns Biscone, Nolan, and Flach back to Ravena-Coeymans!

The public comment part was opened by a local resident with a brief but scathing indictment of Biscone, Nolan, and Flach. Click Full Text Resident’s Comments to read the complete transcript of the resident’s remarks.

The public comment part of the meeting was anything but boring, that is, until long-winded M. Biscone took the podium, and recited a mudslide of bird-shot attempts to move the board. He was pitifully unsuccessful and had to retreat, old-man balls and all, to his corner where he kept his head down as much as possible. Nolan was seated at the back of the room, head down, probably wondering what he was doing there, except to be embarrassed and sent out on a rail.

No More Monopoly in New Baltimore!

Biscone’s performance was typical for the lying sack of Coeymans untreated sewerage that he is. He first presented letters, one of which was forged, and another of questionable origin. He claimed he represented several local residents, none of whom appeared at the meeting, saying that they were his clients. Again, his statements were shown to be phony.

Attorney George McHugh. Coeymans Town Supervisor with questionable motives and business connections.

Biscone ranted on, citing New Baltimore local law, but that was shot down. His last-ditch effort was to demand that restrictions be imposed on the permit, but that was shot down by Mr James Warren, CEO/President of Nat’l Bank of Coxsackie, who set the record straight contradicting Biscone’s every statement. Biscone’s response to the speaker: “I’m very disappointed in you, Mr Warren.” That’s probably what Nolan was thinking in the back of the room, “Mikey, I’m very disappointed in you.”

[Editor’s Note: It should be noted that Aaron Flach was supporting Nolan Propane but then promised to support Albright’s, but hid in a corner when it came to pubic comment. Flach is on the board of directors of the National Bank of Coxsackie, where James Warren is President/CEO. The National Bank of Coxsackie is financing the Albright’s Garage Project, which would explain Aaron Flach’s waffling, and attempts to play both sides. We don’t feel that sort of conduct is what we want to see in a man who is on the board of directors of a financial institution. Do you?]

Brendan Baynes, an exile from Biscone’s and George McHugh’s* captive and hostaged community , Ravena-Coeymans, representing Mr Lent and Albright’s Garage, clearly questioned the credibility of Biscone’s presentation as well as the authenticity of the statements Biscone submitted. The Board refused to hear any more of Biscone’s wretched attempts to mislead the public body on behalf of Nolan Propane.

It shouldn’t go unnoticed that both Biscone and McHugh have close ties with large business interests in the Town of Coeymans. In fact, one of McHugh’s first moves upon taking office was to abolish the Coeymans Town Planning Board, thus eliminating an important democratic process available to Coeymans residents and property owners. That move was no doubt made to benefit McHugh’s main clients, also catered for by Guess who? You got it, Michael Biscone!

• * Editor’s Note: McHugh, an attorney in Ravena-Coeymans, was elected in a scandalous campaign in 2019 to be Coeymans Town Supervisor.

The Coeymanazi Thugs tried to muscle in on New Baltimore but were given the boot with no hesitation by residents and Planning Board alike!

The deal was sealed when the representative of the engineering firm hired to design and install the propane distribution facility took the podium, and explained in clear terms the extensive work that goes into such a facility, particularly safety and security provisions. His presentation concluded that Albright’s far-exceeded the safety and regulator requirements, and even made an offer to provide expert training for workers and fire department personnel at no charge.

The Board voted on the application and gave their unanimous approval of the permit application but not before Ms AnnMarie Vadney, in the interest of clearing any questions, read out each and every question presented by Biscone, and the board examined each to clear any questions. This was a brilliant move on the part of the Board, since it clearly demonstrated that the hearing and consideration given to Biscone and his presentations on behalf of Nolan Propane was more than thorough and fair.

Prior to moving to vote on the Application, the resolutions were read out in their entirety giving a complete history of the application and all New York State regulatory and oversight agencies’ approvals, including the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York State Department of Transportation, as well as approval by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Every Federal, State, County, and, of course, Town authority had no objection to the Application. Albright’s had more than complied with every regulation and requirement.

Needless to say, this was a catastrophic defeat for Michael Biscone and for Nolan Propane, who has lost his monopoly in the Town of New Baltimore, and stands to face quite a legal services bill from Biscone, who needs to support his expensive appetites, including the Biscone Bloodmobile, his precious Bentley, that is reputed to run on the blood of Biscone’s clients like R. Nolan and Nolan Propane.

Well Done! New Baltimore!!!
