The One Where South Blooming Grove's Real Mayor Meets a Process Server

Legal consequences for their actions caused last night's South Blooming Grove Village Board meeting to be cancelled. So here's a recap of everything currently going on with its village government.

Above: South Blooming Grove’s real mayor, Joel Stern, is seen here smiling at the November 4th, 2024, Village Board meeting; however, after his encounter with a process server on November 18th, he wasn’t so happy—so much so that he immediately canceled the scheduled South Blooming Grove Village Board meeting for later that evening.

Whenever South Blooming Grove gets bad news, whether news of yet another lawsuit or negative coverage on News 12, it cancels its Village Board meetings. So, for those of you asking why the meeting last night was canceled, now you know.

I can’t say much about the court case itself, other than to say this won’t be the only Article 78 Mr. Stern will have to deal with soon. (Ditto with the Town of Monroe and Town of Woodbury.)

But you can read more about the legal documents Mr. Stern was served with here.
