Franklin Square Water District Taps Into Taxpayers' Wallets

Seems that everyone and his brother has a salaried position at the Franklin Square Water District, doesn't it?

Yup. Brother, son, uncle. You name it, they've given new meaning to the word "nepotism."

Get paid for not working? No problem.

Get paid for attending meetings that never took place? No problem.

Get health benefits, for yourself and your extended family, that no one in the private sector could have, even if you're a part-time, no show employee? No problem.

Read what The Community Alliance has to say about this Special Taxing District in their recent report, The Father, Son, And Holy Ghost.

And what does our County Legislator have to say about the shenanigans that go on at the Franklin Square Water District?

Not that much. In fact, Vincent Muscarella has said NOTHING!

Surprised?

You shouldn't be.

After all, the same political Machine that gave you Mr. Muscarella, has produced the very cogs that clog the water mains at the Franklin Square Water District.

Its a club, remember?

And who do you think is the leader of the Franklin Square East Republican Club, where you'll probably find the folks who run the water district hanging out?

Vincent Muscarella, of course!

Michael Uhl is no stranger to what goes on at the Water Districts.

He ran for Commissioner in West Hempstead on a platform of reform, and in service to the community, did just that.

Michael Uhl exposed the nepotism. He opened up the "behind closed doors" process to the public. He generated reports, mailed newsletters, and created a website, all in the interest of keeping you and I informed.

Why, Michael Uhl even got the other Commissioners at the West Hempstead Water District to do what they'd never done before -- watch what's going into our water and coming out of the tap!

Had enough of the Machine politics, the political patronage, the party hacks serving themselves at your expense?

Michael Uhl has had enough.

On November 6th, you'll have the chance to tell Mr. Muscarella that you've had enough, too!
