Local attorney (Syracuse office, Main Street in Utica, and probably a very nice home office in Rome), former Oneida County politician, a lobbyist (likely has Park Strategies on speeddial, and more recently a campaign chair.
Helping the current County Executive muster his courage to rage against his constituents with a healthcare/hospital boondoggle, and the MOU/MOA agreement, is this a new chapter Utica's Mob Files?
Did you know that our current County Executive, Anthony J Picente Jr, use to be a driver for Mr. Meier? Also Mr. Meier is the lead attorney for MVHS. He also sat, along with MVHS's PR Firm The Paige Group, as Mr. Picente introduced MVHS CEO Scott Perra to the Oneida County Legislature as they deliberated indebting Oneida County for a $43M hospital parking garage.

Exhibit #1: Utica Real Estate Scam Band
In a word, New York is... "Corrupt"!
New York State Most Corrupt State In America, thus we're watching people and players of #mvhsdowntown very closely...
JCOPE is a concrete example of just how corrupt NY's government is. Why even bother trying to fight the rot? If there's no investigation or enforcement it's pointless.

January 14, 2018 - Mr Meier's was a key email address (meierr@bsk.com) and name in the MVHS scandle called Oneida County Hospital #Emailgate, where
Ray Meier expresses some skepticism at AB's single-minded approach to this project. He even predicts the "local political pissing match" that this course of action would cause. And Picente notes the MVHS board's resistance. This AB's baby all the way. pic.twitter.com/iOS4tbj7Yl

Does Ray have Albany's Park Strategies, founded by Former NYS Senator D’Amato, on speed dial? Together these law firms are creating New York's newest "authority", one that Mr Anthony J Picente Jr heads, New York State Sports & Entertainment Facilities Association. It's all part of a destructive plan for downtown parking.
Profile (per Bond, Schoeneck & King PLLC): Ray is a business law attorney and co-chair of the firm's government relations practice and also co-chair of the municipalities practice. His background in public service and private law practice provide a wide range of experience, knowledge and contacts to the clients he represents. Ray served five terms in the New York State Senate.
