Take Jacob Wagshal, who according to police reports was the man who admitted putting up the fraudulent signs early on the morning of the last election He recently got 50 variances to build 22 apartments with 22 accessory units on two small lots!!!

Thanks to our ZBA, our Planning Board, and most importantly, to Supervisor St. Lawrence, our builders are getting rich buying land, getting so many variances that it really amounts to illegal spot zoning, and building apartment houses where we have inadequate sewers and and an ever more hard pressed water supply.

But why should he care? They are his friends, they are most generous in their support and we, the taxpayers, will be picking up the bill for ever more expensive water and hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild our sewer system.

Have you tried to get through downtown Monsey traffic recently. This is the kind of bumper to bumper traffic that will be spilling over onto Viola, Grandview, and other quiet suburban roads over the next few years.
