Try it in a small town.
The founder of the beloved cheese puff brand Pirates' booty claims to be the mayor of the newly formed Long Island town town in a “legal” maneuver, which has been dispelled by already existing Enclave officials.
Robert Erich, who created the pirate booty in 1987, invoked an arcane New York state law called the Civic Empowerment Act, to create a “new” village within Seacliff, in the town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, and set himself up as mayor. News12 reported.
“I have a lot of great ideas. According to News 12, Ehrlich pitched on a Facebook video.
Legal Chicanelly became a dramatic crescendo at a Sea Cliff Village Town Hall meeting earlier this week. There, Ehrlich declared his authority to the infuriated village officials, furious, soft and soft rebellion.
The 66-year-old arrived with a list of requests for three male crew members and village officials.
“On arrival, Erich misguided his authority as mayor, demanding access to office space, and declared that the entire village staff had come into effect immediately, but could reapply for work,” the village of Sheecliffe said in a statement. Post to Facebook.
According to the post, his trio of advisers were furious when village officials tried to dismiss an outrageous request, when they tried to dismiss an outrageous request, they raised their voices, issued a curse, and a direct threat of “nearly an hour.”
“Daily governance activities have not been changed and the village of Seacliffe continues to operate under the guidance of a formal elected board,” the statement read.
Not all sea cliff residents opposed the possibility of Mayor Ehrlich.
“I think he did a great job because he proves himself in the Pirates booty and business field.
Another resident told the outlet that Yerrich's unorthodox approach was illegal, but that it would be “good for him” to try it anyway, the report said.
Ehrlich was trying to exploit the lesser-known Civil Empowerment Act. This allows voters to dissolve the government through petitions filed with the targeted town or village clerk.
A successful dissolution requires 10% of the town or village population to sign the petition. According to the state of New York.
Sea Cliff has a population of around 5,000. This means that 500 signatures will be required to dissolve the government.
The village is scheduled to hold an election on Tuesday, with Mayor Elena Vijarafane not opposed. According to News 12, Ehrlich has declared he is a candidate for writing for the election.
