Philip Gigante was elected into the position by residents of Airmont . His grandfather was Vinny 'The Chin ' Gigante , head of the Genovese gang . The mobster walked around in a bathrobe and slippers to look insane . That way he felt like he would avoid prosecution , and did in 1990 . He was jailed in 77 for federal racketeering and died in prison aged 1997 . Philip hopes his 'achievements ' will be what his constituents .
