Vincent Muscarella, Nassau County Legislator. The product of a tired, old political machine – one that has, through the most obstreperous of conduct and a most contagious malaise, rendered the Nassau County Legislature all but dysfunctional.
Twelve years as a Nassau County Legislator, and not much to show for it back home.
The long, long overdue reconstruction of Hempstead Avenue in West Hempstead. A County project on the drawing board for more than ten years, and no closer to fruition today than it was a decade ago.
Hall’s Pond Park, where neglect is more prevalent than grass, a million-dollar filtration pump, installed during the Gulotta Administration, and non-functional since.
The Courtesy and the Capri, where the County continues to harbor transients, convicts, and sex offenders.
Hey, if Vincent Muscarella, a resident of West Hempstead, can’t muster a response to problems in his own backyard, what do you expect he’ll do for your community?
Do you want someone whose ambition is to serve on the legislature for life, or someone who will bring life to the Nassau County legislature?
Michael Uhl, a true independent, not beholden to any political party or position, offers a change from the stagnation of same old, same old. Environmentalist, conservationist, one of us.
Michael has taken on the Machine before, and won! He ran for Water Commissioner in West Hempstead, defeating – albeit by only three write-in votes – an entrenched incumbent who fought to keep the public in the dark, and his family and friends in no-show patronage jobs.
With Michael’s election, the floodgates were opened, at long last. Inefficiency and waste in the special district exposed; the public informed, for the first time, of contaminants in our water; the cleansing light of day permitted to shine on a water district – by way of newsletter, website, and an unprecedented public presence – that, for too long, operated only in the shadows.
The 8th Legislative District has been represented – or should we say, under-represented – by the same person since its opening session back in January, 1996. And here we are, 12 years later, through both Republican and Democratic majorities, no better off today than we were then.
Isn’t it time for a change? Isn’t it time for an independent voice in your County Legislature? You bet it is!
ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6th, ELECT MICHAEL UHL
TO THE NASSAU COUNTY LEGISLATURE
