These are challenging times for special districts throughout New York State. Prosecutors, high elected state officials and overly energetic politicians, are jockeying for promotion by singling out the operations of special districts in an attempt to paint them as greedy, mismanaged and out of control.

It was with those concerns in mind that we have created the SPECIAL DISTRICT ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK STATE INC. as a way of defending what we do; our functions and how we police ourselves to guaranty that the public gets the fullest range of services.

Just about any group that renders services to the public has a group representing it. Whether its libraries, volunteer firemen, water providers or countless other organizations they are there to speak up for their members.

If you are interested in more information about costs, functions and meetings contact us.

The time is now to protect the special districts of New York State from headline seeking politicians who wish to undermine our every day service to the people of this state.
