What Has Your County Legislator Done For You Lately?

If He's Vincent Muscarella, Not Much!

• Vincent Muscarella, who, until the start of this campaign (and only because Michael Uhl raised the issue), never said a word about closing the infamous Courtesy Hotel in West Hempstead. Well, that’s not exactly true – he did tell the community, time and time again, that the County wasn’t housing sex offenders, ex-cons, and the indigent at the Courtesy. Did he not know, or was he simply being disingenuous?
  
• The million dollar filtration system, installed in Hall’s Pond ( a Nassau County "passive" park) back when Tom Gulotta was County Exec – and Mr. Muscarella first took office as our County Legislator – hasn’t worked in more than 8 years. Nor, apparently, has anyone maintaining the County park that surrounds the pond, other than Michael Uhl and his Community Green crew of volunteers!
  
• The reconstruction of Hempstead Avenue. Promises, promises. NOW its coming? Where – and from whom during which election year – have we heard that before?
  
• The homeless in our backyards -- and front yards. Doesn’t Mr. Muscarella know the telephone number of the County’s Department of Social Services? Oh, he did hold a 15 minute “conference” on the homeless problem once. Guess the homeless don’t vote, so Vincent Muscarella doesn’t care.
  
• Remember the $150 million in Environmental Bond monies, some of which was “allocated” for projects in the 8th Legislative District? Have you taken a walk through your local County park lately? Whatever happened to the money earmarked for our communities? [Pssst. Don’t ask Vincent Muscarella. He doesn’t know!]
  
• Read about the special taxing districts ripping off the public? Franklin Square Water District. Sanitary District No. 1. You name the district, they’re picking taxpayers’ pockets. In just three short years as a West Hempstead Water Commissioner, Michael Uhl took one special district out of the shadows, opening the tap on rampant nepotism, outlandish waste (as in Commissioners drawing pay for meetings never attended), and “water quality by chance.” Imagine what he could do as our County Legislator!

Tip of the iceberg, but hey, you have to start somewhere. Vincent Muscarella has had 12 long years as a County Legislator, and he hasn’t left the gate yet. Isn’t it time for a change?

On Tuesday, November 6th, elect Michael Uhl as YOUR Nassau County Legislator. Its time to get started, for a change!
