Ramapo’s former Building Inspector has reportedly been removed as the top aide to the Mayor of Spring Valley, this after the Rockland Personnel Department rejected his job application due to his felony conviction. The Journal News reported Anthony Mallia may still be re-hired by Mayor Alan Simon as an independent contractor despite the county’s decision. Simon originally hired Mallia in January last year following his guilty plea the previous summer to charges of undercharging contractors for permits and bilking taxpayers of $150,000.
