Ryan Karben served the public during the opening of Union Road today in Spring Valley.
At the same time, the Spring Valley village attorney and former Rockland legislator and Assembly member earned the moniker “hot dog” given by Legislator Ilan Schoenberger.
While the neighborhood crowd heard from Mayor Noramie Jasmin and other elected officials — from County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef to Legislator Bill Darden — Karben came to the road opening dressed like a hot dog and handed out hot dogs in buns to residents — kosher and tasty ones at that.
And proving he can be a fun guy, Karben added some mustard to his hot-dogging by suggesting the following, “After all his years in public service, Ryan Karben is finally serving the public.”

its a cool pic. ! Where can i see more pics of the road opening ?
What a joke Karben is. This just proves it.
Karben should be serving time…not hot dogs. Maybe he can find another use for the hot dogs in prison! This has to be one of the funniest pictures I have ever seen, maybe I will make it my screen saver! LOL!!!
Gadzooks…..it’s Batman and a Scooby Doo treat!
I hope kids don’t go in the store alone to buy a hot dog. Parents need to watch them from now on.
And this guy is still on the public dole. Village attorney? What a joke.
I don’t think I would want Karben touching my wiener!
