Frank Popolizio, 66, of Morrow Avenue, Schenectady,
Interesting
Why can't these dems find these things, these inconsistencies, that are costing homeowners and taxpayers big bucks?
Claims he lives on Morrow Ave, but has a STAR exemption on his Jade Lane palace based on Nisky's Tax Roll and his address is listed as Jane Lane
So he claims he lives on Morrow Ave, but look at the Nisky's Tax Roll for his Morrow Ave house - on here, he doesn't live there.
Seems like it's time for the government to seize his half million dollar palace?

He is uniquely qualified to be in the President's cabinet or be the Rotterdam Town Supervisor now.

ONEONTA Sch’dy dog breeder remains in business, fights charges BY MICHAEL LAMENDOLA Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Michael Lamendola at 843-2856 or lamend@dailygazette.com.
A Schenectady man continues to sell dogs from his breeding facility in Otsego County as he contests animal cruelty charges and efforts to have him pay more than $84,000 for the care of dogs seized by authorities in February. Frank Popolizio Sr. was charged with 49 misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals under state Agriculture and Markets Law, according to state police in Oneonta. The maximum penalty is two years in jail and a $1,000 fine. State police and the Susquehanna SPCA removed 45 dogs from Popolizio’s business, South Side Dogs, following complaints the animals were malnourished. Authorities said the kennel continues to have at least 50 dogs on site that were not seized because they did not show signs of being underfed. Popolizio denies the allegations of cruelty and is seeking to have the charges dismissed in Worcester Town Court, said his attorney, Adam Parisi of Schenectady. State police also charged Corrinne Kindt, 26, of Esperance, manager of Southside Stables, with seven counts of misdemeanor cruelty to animals. Popolizio breeds and sells German shorthaired pointers, Rhodesian ridgebacks, vizslas and Weimaraners through South Side Dogs and miniature Texas Longhorns and miniature Jersey cows through South Side Miniatures. Both operate under a business name of Southside Stables. Parisi said authorities seized the dogs without a warrant and without Popolizio’s consent. He added there are legal problems with the charges, as well. “We are alleging they took the animals illegally with an unwarranted search and seizure,” Parisi said. Popolizio is also seeking to dismiss a petition filed by the Susquehanna SPCA that seeks reimbursement for the care it has provided to the dogs seized by state police. Parisi said the petition contains flaws, primary of which is that authorities did not meet any of the conditions set in the law to remove the dogs. He said the dogs were not engaged in fighting, they were not taken under a warrant and they were not taken on an emergency basis, as they were seized over several days. Jim Ferrari, an attorney representing the Susquehanna SPCA, said the SPCA wants Popolizio to post a bond to cover its cost to care for the dogs. He said the SPCA has spent more than $84,000 since February, with the cost running about $500 per day. Ferrari also said Popolizio granted permission to place the dogs into the SPCA’s custody, but Parisi denies Popolizio gave consent and says Popolizio will not surrender the dogs to the SPCA. Ferrari said if Popolizio would surrender the dogs, the SPCA could adopt them out, thereby reducing its daily maintenance costs. “I am trying to find a home for the dogs. He has refused to surrender the dogs. That is why we are in court,” he said. Both attorneys said the case is new territory for them. Ferrari said it is the fi rst time he has seen a case of alleged neglect remain on a court docket for so long. “It is not unusual to see animal neglect cases where people resolve them quickly. [Popolizio] is defending the case vehemently, and the numbers are really big,” he said. Parisi said he found few cases in his research where people tested the constitutionality of the state law allowing authorities to seize animals without a warrant. People have been reluctant to challenge the law because of the expense, primarily. “It is a relatively new law that has only had a few go-rounds,” he said. Otsego County Assistant District Attorney Marvin Parshall Jr. said the case is in the middle of pretrial motions, with the next court date set for Tuesday. “An offer has been made on the case, which may be under consideration by Popolizio and his attorney,” he said. “Where it goes, I can’t say for certain. He has a right to demand a trial.” Parisi said the county offered Popolizio a chance to plead to two B-class misdemeanors, go on probation and make restitution. “We want the case adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, the animals returned and no restitution,” he said. If Popolizio is convicted on the misdemeanor counts, the state will seek to revoke his license as a pet dealer, effectively putting him out of business, according to a spokeswoman for the state Department of Agriculture and Markets, which regulates and inspects animal breeding businesses such as Popolizio’s. The state toured South Side Dogs as part of its annual inspection Jan. 6 and cited Popolizio on issues related to shelter, sanitation, feeding and veterinary care of the dogs. .............................>>>>........................>>>>.........................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01501&AppName=1
Well, with all the money Poplizio saved by not paying his Schenectady property and school taxes ...and for skipping out on the $19,000+ bill for the City doing the demolition on his Eastern Avenue property, I'm sure he has a few hundred grand left over to fight this lawsuit.
Oh, and PS according to MC1, Popolizio saves with two STAR tax exemptions as well.
Parisi said authorities seized the dogs without a warrant
Guilty or not...........If Popolizio is expected to follow the rule of law........then damn it.......so should the authorities!!
WHERE WAS THE WARRANT????
This isn't a lynch mob......it's following the rule of law!
Folks should be pissed that the authorities entered and apprehended someone's property WITHOUT A WARRANT!!!
Come on folks.......the devil is in the details.

Bumblethru-looks like they did follow the law when they seized the animals.

Schenectady man arrested for scamming COOPERSTOWN -- A Schenectady man who owns a dog breeding business and farm in Otsego County has been arrested for scamming customers.
66-year-old Frank Michael Popolizio is accused of stealing as much as $26,435 from numerous people over the last five years. The Otsego County Sheriff's Office received a complaint regarding Popolizio from a Virginia resident. She sent $2,100 as a down payment for miniature livestock, and never received the cattle or the money.
The Sheriff's Office says Popolizio used false or fraudulent pretenses or promises to con his customers. Popolizio was arrested for scheme to defraud and other larceny charges when he was at the Worcester Town Court. He was there Tuesday to answer to previous animal abuse charges.
Popolizio was released on his own recognizance after arraignment. If he is convicted on the most recent charges, Popolizio could spend 26 years in prison.
Let's see how fast Schenectady dems seize his property. Let's see how fast they go after him for illegal STAR exemption
Soon the closing of Drome Sound.
And, hey, DV, perhaps you can get the CVS in 5 corners! I trust you know the scum owns property there, are his taxes paid current there? ROFL

What about Mayor? Another fiscal nit wit. He would fit right in at City Hall or Rotterdam/Nisky Town Hall.
