Just the Facts
1. On or about May of 2013; County buyout contract manager Ms. Susan Polonski placed appraisal "exhibit B" into my hands at the Ulster County building
2. By June, I had discovered the mistake and had requested (by phone) that Ms. Pastena (appraiser) correct it
3. Ms. Pastena acknowledged the sq. ft. mistake in the comp but replied that she could only correct the error, once she was notified by, and "IF" she was instructed to do so, by County Attorney Beatrice Havranek
4. I repeatedly attempted to inform County Attorney Havranek and Executive Hein of the mistake and they repeatedly refused to speak with me, return calls, emails, registered mail etc.
(Exec Hein and Ms. Havranek were Ms. Susan Plonski's immediate superiors)
5. After a month of attempts to resolve the issue with various county officials, I decided to take the issue to District Attorney Holley Carnright
6. On or about July of 2013; I met with the District Attorney and explained the mistaken appraisal and also added the fact that the USGS report revealed Tritium in my neighbor's well
7. After the meeting with the DA in his office that day, he refused to ever make contact with me again (we tried 100's of email, fax, USPO, return receipt, dozens of personal visits to no avail)
8. My wife and I contacted various lawyers who would listen to our side of the story, and then call County Attorney Havranek on our behalf
9. Afterwards, the lawyers refused to respond or make contact with us, ever again
(example; Attorney Joseph Coburn)
10. I went to a very close personal friend of mine for help, Comptroller Auerbach, and advised him of the circumstances, at which he advised me to retain his very close personal friend Attorney Michael Jordan, just down the street.
11. Attorney Jordan worked on our closing for the next 13 months, while I made contact with many different public officials and law enforcement agencies in Albany
12. Attorney Jordan's only response to us in regard to the financial instrument appraisal was that " the County Attorney has no comment on it, and it is a " Take it or leave it offer"
***
We fired Kingston Attorney Michael Jordan after 13 months who then gave us our his records to retain but refused to take any money for his services
***
Mr. Jordan's records between the county attorney and himself "speak for themselves"
(also on video)
***
I quietly decided somewhere on or about the end of 2014 that I would accept the County's offer, . . . and then I would sue them for fraud of honest service , . . and then I would put them in prison for embezzlement, wrongful acts, and RICO conspiracy
***
We realized that the County Attorney had inadvertently placed a Trojan Horse (fraudulent instrument) inside of her own county records, by her very own hand
***
Everything came to a head on April 29th 2015 between the hours of 9am and 2:30pm
involving Mr. Steve Petersen, Ms. Havranek, County Deputies, and the Ulster County Highway Dept.
***
My wife Jean Herman was present throughout the day of 4/29/15 and is prepared to testify under oath for a US district special prosecutor, before a sealed grand jury, as to the events as they have unfolded

Clarification;
On or about 10/15/14, at a very private meeting with Comptroller Auerbach in his office, I inadvertently blurted out the fact that I had intentions of filling a law suit against his close personal friend, Attorney Michael Jordan for malpractice

I was arrested the following day
