Shhh! Don't Wake The Sleeping Legislator

Silence Can Be Deafening In The 8th LD

Ever Ask Vincent Muscarella why we're still facing the same problems in the 8th Legislative District that we complained about more than a decade ago?

What's with the runaway property taxes?

"Well, that's out of my control."

Could it be that when your party held reign over the Legislature from 1996 to 2001, and Tom Gulotta was borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, you were rubber stamping the County Executive's budget without giving it a second thought? Now who is paying for that mess?

Shhh! Don't wake the sleeping Legislator!

Crumbling infrastructure? Blight? Roadways and parks that cry out for maintenance and repair?

"Well, we don't have the money."

What was your excuse, Mr. Muscarella, when, back in the days of smoke and mirrors, you did have the money?

Shhh! Don't wake the sleeping Legislator!

All of these special taxing districts, picking our pockets. Why can't you consolidate services and eliminate the waste?

"Well, we're in the minority."

And all those years, Mr. Muscarella, when you were in the majority, and did nothing but borrow, spend, and feed the fiefdoms of Machine politics?

Shhh! Don't wake the sleeping Legislator!

Had enough of this Shhh!?

On Tuesday, November 6th, send Michael Uhl to the Nassau County Legislature, and wake them all up!
