My county.
Monsey, New York is about 2 miles from my home. It's the epicenter of ultra orthodox Jews. These are the Hasidics in the photos. They are everywhere in that area.
In spite of their pretense at religion they are always up to some shenanigans and getting caught. Always ripping off someone. Milking the system.
Unfortunately our Town of Ramapo supervisor is in bed with them. He breaks zoning codes and allows high density housing on properties that must include a building of religious instruction. One member of any household must be an "adult student". That gives them tax free status and they free load on the other tax payers.
They - their community - then vote in blocks. Whoever the Rabbi says to vote for, all obey him.
It's payola, corruption, operating under the guise of Government.
