Hicksville water commissioners, meanwhile, raked in thousands of dollars worth of compensation for going to conferences in Florida and California, Wtzman said in releasing audits of both districts.

Wtzman said the districts' spending habits were symptomatic of abuses practiced by many special districts throughout the county.



"They're self-perpetuating fiefdoms. They operate with very little transparency," he said. "Clearly all these districts are set up for a few under the guise of benefitting the communities."

Franklin Square and Hicksville officials said they have changed thr ways and adopted new policies since the audits were conducted in 2004 and 2005. In most cases, county auditors agreed with the changes, according to copies of the audits.

Hes not getting the D nod for Ce and will primary in 2009. this guy sucks. He cant even get money back based on audits.

Primaries are good. Let him take his shot at Kaiman, Denenberg, Toback, Mejias and whoever else runs. Let him run a C primary too....oh, wait I think Howard Barbari has that covered. By 2009 he will be a three year Conservative and that whole Democratic shill will be a thing of the past.
