It’s obvious that Orangetown Town Board member Michael Maturo, 26, joined politics at his young age.
But who would know his aspiration to become a public servant started this early?
At Tuesday’s Orangetown reorganization meeting, Maturo presented to the public a flier that his father made for him when he ran for the Student Advisory Committee at Cottage Lane Elementary School.
Maturo, 11 years old that time, won a landslide victory over his opponent, he said.
Using that 15-year-old flier, Maturo wanted to make a point that his motto hasn’t changed a bit since then.
“I hope to do the right thing for all of us,” the flier stated.
Maturo, computer network engineer, said he recently left his sales job at a Nyack company.
Although he would be taking gigs as an independent consultant, Maturo said, his hope would be to become a “full-time public servant in some way.” He declined to give more specifics, saying that he was still discussing the matter with his committee.
Orangetown Town Board member position is part-time with an annual salary of $23,355.
“This is where I want to be right now in terms of my career,” Maturo said, referring to his role as a Town Board member.
Maturo is up for reelection in November along with his fellow Democrat, Town Board member Nancy Low-Hogan.

Look! . . . .a lot of people [who know me] – The PRESS REPORTERS never give me or my Company similar Coverage and this Man [he not only got his picture] but now he want to do “what habib Hasan” is doing since 2000. Read he is saying and his buddies are writing “Although he would be taking gigs as an independent consultant, Maturo said, his hope would be to become a “full-time public servant in some way”
But the real problem is people like this who will spoil the nmae of “consultants” who want to become consultants and ten use it to become full time public-servant”.
Actually people with [this type] of thinking are the No 1 Public enemies: acting and calling themselves “public-servant”! Only Mathama Ghandi’s have cast and servant mantality.
Mr. Martoruo every one in Our Country is Equal – No one is above the Law. Its equal from justice to individuals. Priivalage cannot be construed as right! [at any level] including the “Parmanent Council” Membership.
Mr. Maurtoro is a good man! But its very immature to act like that in Public Seat of Trust!
No Offence or Prejudice! The Councilman Comment in the December 14 Meeting regarding “changing law” and “his reasoning” is very alarming to The Republic and what local government Councilmen are thinking! Hope that he is the only one with that view [as aslo published in Our Town” of Pearl River NewsPaper.
Habib, story teller…... I’m convinced you are on drugs, and not the kind prescribed by a doctor.
Anyway, as for Maturo, get real. I’m thinking maybe it’s time you just find a real career, and just enjoy being a part time Councilman. Orangetown is known, politically, as being flakey. Sorry, but true.
Well [its very easy] to get convined on [whatever you are refereing to . . .] – But! guess what! Your Contrymen [who are in the United States just to make money and go back home] who also have [according to a Well-conducted Research of Particularly Rockland County] have found multiple evidences that majority of “peobably” people like your catagory with multiple passports would care less – Just be the first ones to “call the other person on whatever . . . . you are refreing to! Please learn to respect other people’s opinion: You haven’t met any specialist in the Field of Intellegence yet! I promise you as evident reading from your writing . . . Get real too! –
This is the United States of America – Not anyone Daddy’s Property to abuse at Municipal Council Levels and Abuse the Federal, State and Local Laws under the false pretexts of pumping the law.
No offence and without prejudice [opinion]
