It is so ironic to see Jeff Stone run on the platform of transparent government.

Since he became the trustee, he has shown no transparency at all. As a licensed real estate broker, he is not transparent about the fact that if he becomes the mayor of Manorhaven, he’ll have all the firsthand information of new develpmenet in the village and potentially be the exclusive broker.

In February Village BOT meeting, he attempted to revoke a BZA decision on a new real estate project on Manhasset Isle because he dislikes the developer.

In March, he tried to tamper (with) the Board of Trustees so he could help a local business fix a building code violation. And after he openly mocked the stenographer in that meeting and caused her to break down, he refused to openly apologize to her.

When he was questioned about some of his comments and intentions by me at these meetings, he refused to give an open and transparent answer but reacted by accusing me of “digging dirt” on him or saying “it’s under the rug” now.

Jeff Stone is everything but open and transparent. If he becomes the mayor, he will run our village on ulterior motif and back door politics. Beware of it!

Vote for Mayor Popeleski and his team for a real transparent village government.
