The group, led by Mariel Farlow and Steve White want to make it clear that the “Spring Valley Concerned Citiziens Coalition” had no ties to the mailer, even though a similar name, “Concerned Citizens of Spring Valley,” is on the literature. The mailer was sent to registered Democrats.

According to the Journal News:

The flier characterizes Levine as a longtime beneficiary of political patronage jobs and makes reference to well-known troubles in the village.

The permit stamp on the mailing came from the Monsey Post Office. Farlow visited the office to identify the permit owner, but was told to fill out a Freedom of Information (FOIL) request. Unfortunately, the primary election will be long over before Farlow and White can identify the culprits.
