Pirate's Booty Founder Declares Self Mayor of Sea Cliff, New York
Robert Ehrlich, the founder of the popular snack brand Pirate's Booty, has controversially declared himself the mayor of a newly created village within Sea Cliff, New York, invoking a little-known state law known as the Citizen Empowerment Act. His actions culminated in a dramatic confrontation at a town hall meeting, where Ehrlich demanded office space and the resignation of current village staff, claiming they could reapply for their jobs. Village officials swiftly dismissed his claims as illegitimate and called police to diffuse the escalating situation. While some residents are intrigued by Ehrlich’s self-declared leadership, others express skepticism about the legality and propriety of his actions. Despite the chaos, the ongoing governance of Sea Cliff remains unchanged under its elected officials. The incident has sparked mixed reactions among locals, with some believing Ehrlich's business experience could be an asset to the village.
