meet Bill Weber

Meet Bill Weber, an accountant who has been sued for ​fleecing taxpayers, hurting workers, and cheating unions. ​As a State Senator, he has done nothing to help regular ​people, and has even filed a lawuit against New York ​because he doesn’t think he earns enough money as a ​politician.

Bill Weber is out of touch and inconsistent. From opposing ​tax relief for middle-class families to flip-flopping on key ​issues like healthcare and gun control, his record is a ​series of odd and unpredictable decisions. With ties to ​extreme groups and a pattern of bizarre behavior, it’s ​clear that Bill Weber is not the leader we need.

Bill Weber is suing taxpayers ​to pad his pockets.

Bill Weber's taxpayer-funded household ​income is already over $354,000 a year—but ​that’s not enough. Now, he’s suing New York ​State, demanding more money from the people ​of Rockland. At a time when families are ​struggling with inflation, high taxes, and rising ​housing costs, Bill Weber is more focused on ​enriching himself than helping his community.

A Pattern of Disturbing Votes

When you dig into Senator Bill Weber’s voting ​history, you can’t help but feel a sense of ​unease. It’s not just that his votes are out of ​step with the values of New York families—it’s ​that they’re downright disturbing. He’s even ​voted against bills that would cut costs and ​raise the minimum wage, all while voting ​against increased funding for public safety.

It all starts with his inexplicable opposition ​to protecting the most vulnerable among us.

In 2022, when New York lawmakers were ​working to strengthen protections for victims of ​domestic violence, Bill Weber did something ​strange. He voted against protecting essential ​rights for those suffering in silence, those who ​rely on us to stand up for them -- he voted to ​block protections for victims of domestic ​violence (S.2199). It’s a chilling choice, but for ​Weber, it was just the beginning.

Hungry Kids? Not His Problem.

What’s scarier than turning your back on ​victims of abuse? How about taking food away ​from children? Weber opposed legislation that ​would have expanded access to free school ​lunches for low-income students (S.2551). In a ​time when food insecurity was on the rise, ​Weber decided that feeding hungry kids wasn’t ​a priority. What kind of person makes that ​decision? In the world of Bill Weber, it’s just ​another day at the office.

Abandoning Healthcare Workers During a Crisis

The COVID-19 pandemic showed us who our real ​heroes are—healthcare workers who put their lives ​on the line every day. But when it came time to ​ensure they had the resources they needed, Weber’s ​response was downright bizarre. He voted against ​funding hospitals and nursing homes, effectively ​turning his back on the very people fighting to keep ​us safe (S.8895). In a moment when we needed ​leadership, Weber’s strange decisions put lives at ​risk.

Defunding the Police? Yes, He Did.

In a move that defies common sense, ​Weber even voted against crucial ​funding for law enforcement agencies ​(S.1912). At a time when communities ​across New York are calling for safer ​streets and stronger support for our ​police, Weber chose to turn his back ​on those who protect and serve us. He ​can carry as many blue line flags as he ​wants, but he has let down our police ​when it mattered most.

Cutting Funding for Schools—Again

But Weber’s troubling pattern of votes doesn’t ​end there. He has a history of targeting ​education, voting to cut funding for public ​schools and leaving our children and teachers ​without the resources they desperately need ​(S.6536). This isn’t just a one-off mistake—it’s ​part of a larger, disturbing trend. Weber ​seems more concerned with appeasing special ​interests than investing in our future.

A Crusade Against Common Sense

But the weirdness doesn’t stop there. Weber’s voting record is littered with decisions that defy ​logic and common decency:

• He voted against a bill that would have provided additional funding for mental health services, ​despite the growing crisis affecting so many in our state (S.7506). Why would someone do that? ​In Weber’s world, it’s just business as usual.
  

• He opposed legislation aimed at addressing climate change, even as our communities face more ​frequent and severe weather events (S.6599). It’s as if he’s living in an alternate reality where ​science doesn’t matter.
  

• He rejected a proposal to increase funding for public schools, choosing instead to side with ​corporate interests over our children’s future (S.6536). What’s his agenda? It’s hard to say, but ​it’s definitely not aligned with the needs of New York families.
  

What Else is He Hiding?

The more you look at Bill Weber’s voting ​record, the more you realize just how out of ​touch—and how dangerous—his views really ​are. His decisions are not just weird; they’re a ​threat to the well-being of our community.

If this is the kind of voting record he has now, ​what other bizarre and unsettling choices ​might he make in the future? It’s a question ​that should concern every New Yorker.

Bill Weber’s Lawsuit: Suing Rockland Taxpayers to Pad His Pockets

Bill Weber, a sitting New York State senator from Rockland County, is facing growing criticism over his decision to sue New York State taxpayers. Weber, who already earns a taxpayer-funded salary that places his household income at over $354,000 a year, wants to increase his paycheck by launching a lawsuit against the state—essentially suing the people of Rockland County for a pay raise.

While Rockland County families struggle with high inflation, rising taxes, and the cost of living, Bill Weber is more focused on padding his pockets. This lawsuit against Rockland taxpayers is a clear example of his political greed, ignoring the real financial issues facing Rockland County. Housing costs are skyrocketing, and affordability is decreasing, yet Bill Weber is prioritizing his own personal wealth over the community’s needs. This scandal is shaking the Rockland County political ​landscape as Weber continues to vote against cost-cutting bills that would help everyday New Yorkers.

Bill Weber’s Track Record: Ignoring Rockland’s Growing Costs

Instead of addressing the urgent issues facing Rockland County families, such as high taxes, minimum wage stagnation, and affordable housing, Bill Weber has voted against bills that could ease financial burdens. He’s repeatedly voted against minimum wage increases and has done little to help reduce housing costs in a county where the cost of living is among the highest in the nation. By prioritizing his lawsuit to pad his salary, Weber is showing a disregard for the financial struggles of ​Rockland families.

The people of Rockland County deserve better than a senator who is more focused on his own income than on the needs of his constituents. Weber’s lawsuit is not just about money—it’s about who he is fighting for. And it’s clear that Bill Weber is fighting for himself, not for the people of Rockland.

Voting Against Rockland’s Safety and Security

Weber has also voted against bills that would ensure public safety in Rockland County. While other New York State legislators have pushed for increased funding for the State Police and crime prevention programs, Bill Weber has consistently voted against these important measures. As a result, the safety of Rockland residents is at risk, while Bill Weber continues to focus on securing a fatter paycheck.

In a time when crime prevention is more important than ever, Rockland County needs leaders who are willing to invest in public safety. Yet, Bill Weber has voted against increased funding for both the State Police and safety programs that would keep Rockland County safer.

What Rockland Needs: Leadership Focused on Families, Not Paychecks

While Bill Weber spends his time and taxpayer dollars suing for a higher salary, the residents of Rockland County are left wondering when their needs will be addressed. Families are grappling with the effects of inflation, rising housing costs, and high taxes, but Weber’s voting record shows that he is uninterested in helping them. From voting against cost-cutting bills to opposing measures that would help families facing the financial challenges of New York’s inflation crisis, Weber ​continues to prioritize his own interests.

In contrast, other leaders in the state are fighting for the people of Rockland. They are working to increase funding for housing affordability, raise the minimum wage, and improve public safety funding. But Bill Weber has voted against these initiatives, showing that he’s more interested in his personal financial gain than in serving the people of Rockland County.

Rockland Deserves Better Than Bill Weber

The people of Rockland County deserve a senator who will fight for them, not for a bigger paycheck. Bill Weber’s lawsuit is a glaring example of how out of touch he is with the needs of Rockland families. With a public salary already funded by taxpayer dollars, Weber’s decision to sue the state for even more money is not only selfish, but it also shows a blatant disregard for the financial difficulties facing Rockland County taxpayers.

In a time when Rockland families are facing high inflation and struggling with the rising cost of living, Bill Weber is fighting to juice his paycheck even further. This scandal should not go unnoticed by the voters of Rockland County.

It’s time for a leader who will prioritize the needs of Rockland County residents over their own personal financial gain. Bill Weber’s voting record and his lawsuit against taxpayers make it clear that he is not that leader. Rockland County deserves better, and it’s time to elect someone who will fight for the people, not for a higher salary.
