"A building inspector for Bedford tried to deliver a "stop work" order to workers at the scene but they did not speak English, so he gave the order to a property caretaker, Sachs said. It was unclear whether the work had stopped, Sachs said."
It's NOT a good thing.
From ABC News:
According to sources, the Libyans have set up a tent on private property in the wealthy town of Bedford near the border of Mount Kisco in Westchester County, New York. The town, home to guarded estates that belong to the likes of decorating diva Martha Stewart, is about an hour's drive from the United Nations without Secret Service escort. It's still unclear whether Gaddafi will actually stay in the tent in the ambassador's residence.
One politician said if Gaddafi does come to Bedford, the residents will not be welcoming.
"...reports that the Secret Service alerted the town leaders of Gadhafi's plans to stay there.
It is unclear if he has actually arrived in Bedford as of Tuesday afternoon, but video from SkyFoxHD showed a large tent on the lawn of an estate. The Huffington Post reports that real estate mogul Trump owns the property.
Martha Stewart and Ralph Lauren have houses in the upscale community north of New York City. About 20,000 peoplelive there.
Westchester County Executive Andy Spano issued a statement saying in part, "There is no legal way to prevent this as he is a head of state, despite the fact that he has a long history as a terrorist. However, from my point of view, he is not welcome in Westchester."
Trump's people are denying it - after a fashion. The Gotham.ist checks in with this somewhat snarky report:
A Trump spokesperson called this "absolutely false," but then qualifed, "He is not there to my knowledge." The Huffpost claimed that the deal might get scrapped if there was "bad publicity." Uh-oh.
Trump's estate in Bedford is called Seven Springs and was owned by the Rockefellers. The Times tells us Trump has been wanting to subdivide its 213 acres into 15 behemoth McMansions so tasteless they will be deserving of the Trump name.
And this was after the terrorist Gaddafi tried to lie his way into the Bronx. He got the boot there, too!!
An aide to the Libyan leader allegedly claimed to be a member of Sri Lanka's diplomatic delegation when calling a Riverdale developer to rent a property in Villanova heights, according to the Daily News.
When the would-be landlord found out who the tenant was really going to be he shut down the deal.
"It's just not good to deal with liars from terrorist countries," developer John Fitzgerald, told the paper.
The Kaddafy cronie, who identified himself as Simon Toma, was to pay Fitzgerald $60,000 for a six-day stay at two tony mansions, during the United Nations General Assembly meeting this week. One rider on the contract was the right to erect a huge 20-by-30-foot tent in the backyard, which is what the North African strongman wanted to do in Jersey as well.
When Fitzgerald had his lawyers draft legal paperwork, they realized their guests were not from Sri Lanka.
"I asked about Sri Lanka, and he said, 'We're not from there,' but wouldn't reveal where they were from," attorney John Daly told the News.
"Eventually he said he was from the Middle East, and then he said, 'We're from Libya,' [and] that Mr. Kaddafy wanted to put up the tends so he could come up after the sessions."
That was when the deal was broken.
About that tent: Compare pic above with this one. Especially the material outside the tent in the upper left hand side. It appears to be shielding Port-a-potties or something. It kind of looks like the material seen lining the tent that the crazed Libyan Dictator greeted the Lockerbie Bomber in too, doesn't it?
That reminds me, is this terror scumbag's the Lockerbie Bomber's remaining three weeks of life on earth up yet?
