Here is the most blatant use of public funds I have seen in a long time. The problem is that these districts have been flying under the radar for so long that they think they can get away with anything. Usually the elections are uncontested so there is no opponent to make some noise about what is going on. In the South Farmingdale Water District, Commissioner Kurt Ludwig is running for re-election after finishing the unexpired term of a former commissioner.
Ludwig who is also an executive member of the North Massapequa Republican Club is the coverboy for the new water district newsletter that has arrived a week before the election.
The cover story reads like a campaign mailing and it might as well be. The South Farmingdale Water District is using YOUR tax dollars in a campaign. Check out the newsletter - click on the image to see a larger version.
If this doesn't look like a campaign mailing, I don't know what does.
The South Farmingdale Water Commissioners should be ashamed of themselves... and quite frankly need to resign for approving this.
Maybe they thought they could get away with it.
Maybe they got away with it in the past.
This time they are not getting away with it.
Comptroller Weitzman needs to open an investigation into the South Farmingdale Water District.

Where is the SCANDAL???
This article just makes assumptions on thing that are not true.
WHAT IS TRUE, IS THAT THE SOUTH FARMINGDALE WATER DISTRICT HAS BEEN SERVICING ITS COMMUNITY 24 HOURS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK FOR OVER 75 YEARS.
The scandal is public funds being used by the commisioners to get their buddy re-elected. THAT is the scandal. Misuse of taxpayers money. The newsletter is a clear violation. Time for the commissioners to resign.
If the water district has sent out these newsletters in the past at taxpayer expense, this shouldn't be a problem. Is there a rule against water districts sending out literature so close to an election? If not, where's the scandal?
The problem is that the cover story was a glowing story about the commissioner who is up for re-election. It is an undisguised campaign mailing at taxpayer expense.
Ok Mr Heller, If there is a such a sandal then why is our water rates here in the south farmingdale water district so dam low????
