FBI Storms Sullivan County Town Amid Fears Developer Is Taking It Over

BLOOMINGBURG, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — The struggle for control of a small town in Sullivan County has drawn the attention of federal agents.

As CBS 2’s Lou Young reported Friday, newcomers have been pitted against longtime residents of the village of Bloomingburg, in what is now a voter fraud investigation.

Some residents of the village at the edge of the Catskills welcomed the FBI agents who poured in on Thursday. One resident took photos as more than 40 agents raided over a dozen locations — the offices and property of developer Shalom Lamm.

“We were hoping to get, you know, things investigated, and maybe it’s finally happening,” said Bloomingburg resident Teek Persuad.
