The Dirty Dozen - Twelve Years of Failed Leadership in Staten Island Borough Hall and the Mid Island Council District

Staten Island Borough Presidential Candidate Richard A. Luthmann says his campaign is a referendum on short-sighted political leadership.

“Atlantic Hurricane Season began on June 1.  We have experienced record-high temperatures and the kinetic energy in the oceans is welling up.  Our political leaders have done little to protect us from  Mother Nature.  In the Rockaways and in Coney Island, steel reinforced sea-walls are being built and installed right now.  But on Staten Island, we are getting SAND-BAGGED - literally, figuratively and politically,” Luthmann said.

Luthmann called for an immediate release of discretionary funds controlled by the Borough President and the Mid-Island Councilman in order to implement substantial protective measures to protect Staten Island and its property owners.  Luthmann believes that significant fault lies with elected officials who have long known of the problems and have not taken reasonable steps to ensure shoreline protection.

“We have known that Midland Beach and Oakwood Beach and Cedar Grove have had terrible flooding events.  Development continued.  We have known that we were a tidal wave away from disaster.  And yet little was done,”  Luthmann told NY1 in arecent interview.

Richard Luthmann is running a grassroots campaign for PROACTIVE political leadership.  Even the smallest of contributions can make a big difference for Staten Island.
