NY Senators Vote NO to provide Medical Care to children born alive after a failed abortion

In a shocking vote, NY Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer voted no on the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act which would require that a doctor provide medical care to a child born alive after a failed abortion. The act if passed would have required that "any health care practitioner present" at the time of a birth "exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age."

VA Gov Seeks to Surpass Butcher of NY Andrew Cuomo for Abortion Barbarism

In seeking to pass Virgina's Repeal Act, Governor Northam (D-VA) discussed how third trimester abortions during labor would be performed “the consent of obviously the mother, with consent of the physician, multiple physicians by the way, and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities or there may be a fetus that’s not viable. So in this particular example if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”  His explaination speaks for itself.

Former "Intelligence Officials" Sign Letter, Claim Hunter Biden Emails Likely Part of Russian Disinformation, But Admit No Evidence

A group of fifty former intelligence officials signed a letter claiming that it was their opinion that the Hunter Biden emails were likely part of a Russian disinformation campaign to interfere with the Presidential election. Where have we heard this before. Yet in their letter, they admit they have to evidence of any Russian disinformation, "We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement -- just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case."  Click here to read the letter.

FBI & DOJ Say No Russian Disinformation Involved In Hunter Biden Emails

NY Post Story: Joe Biden linked with Hunter Biden's Ukranian Business Dealings

Presidential candidate Joe Biden who has previously denied any knowledge of his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings has been contradicted by emails which have been uncovered by the NY Post. The emails show that in 2015, then Vice President Joe Biden was introduced by his son to a top executive, Vadym Pozharskyi who served as an advisor to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Less than a year later, Joe Biden pressured the Ukraine government into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company by threatening to withhold a one-billion-dollar loan guarantee. Just call him quid pro quo Joe.

Pres Trump Promises to Defend All Americans from Lawlessness

My first and highest duty is to defend our great country and the American people. I swore an oath to uphold the laws of our nation, and that is exactly what I will do.

All Americans were rightly sickened and revolted by the brutal death of George Floyd. For George and his family, justice will be served. He will not have died in vain. But we cannot allow the righteous cries of peaceful protesters to be drowned out by an angry mob.

I will fight to protect you. I am your president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters.

Andrew Cuomo the Criminal's Friend Strikes Again

In the darkness of night and hidden in the state's April Budget agreement, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a provision of the budget agreement which makes it a class E Felony for police to share DMV information with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration & Customs Enforcement. Putting criminals first is shameful. It is an act of a coward who is willfully ignoring the lessons of 911 which cost thousands of New Yorkers their life.

Gov Cuomo, NYC Council Pres Johnson Turn on NYPD to Support Rioters

As we have warned, NY Democrats are increasingly coming out in favor of criminals over hard working New York residents. This is obviously apparent by the decision of Andrew Cuomo to request an investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James into the NYPD's handling of the riots in Brooklyn. In an effort to seen as "balanced", he also asked that the actions of the rioters be reviewed as well what ever that means. In an effort not be outdone, NYC Council President Cory Johnson also called for an investigation of the NYPD and went so far to claim that the Police "set up like the invasion of Normandy" in their response to rioters. While there were peaceful protesters, there were several seeking to engage in acts of violence including the attempted murder of Police Officers, looting, arson, vandalism and destruction of public property.

Presidential Candidate Robert Beto O'Rourke:


Revoke Tax Exempt Status of Churches and Religious Organizations that Don't Support Gay Marriage.


In a stunning display of ignorance and arrogance for the First Amendment, Presidential candidate Robert Beto O'Rourke during CNN's "LGBT Town Hall" said, "Yes" when asked by CNN's Don Lemon if he thought "religious institutions like colleges, churches, charities, should they lose their tax-exempt status if they oppose same-sex marriage?" He went on to say, "there can be no reward, no benefit, no tax break for anyone or any institution, any organization in America that denies the full human rights and the full civil rights of every single one of us." Then likening disagreement to bigotry, he said, "So as president, we're going to make that a priority, and we are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans."

Presidential candidates Cory Booker amd Elizabeth Warren also made their hostility clear toward people of faith. Senator Booker (D-NJ) promised to use the Department of Justice to target those who oppose the elimination of same-sex bathrooms and Senator Warren (D-MA) mocked those who hold a traditional view of marriage when responding to a question from a financial supporter in the audience.  Click here for more

Supreme Court Rules to allow new asylum rules to take effect nationwide

In a blow to the forces of anarchy and a victory for America, the Supreme Court today allowed the Trump Administration's new asylum rules to take effect by lifting an second injunction by Obama appointed Judge Jon Tigar. The new asylum policy requires that anyone claiming asylum who is passing through a third country apply for asylum in that third country. The new policy was in response to the massive border crisis with 100,000 plus aliens crossing the border from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and from as far away as Africa, Asia and South America per month.

12 Dallas Police shot, Five dead, others wounded

Earlier tonight during a "Black Lifes Matter" protest, one sniper opened fire on Police Officers in a planned assassination during a protest march. The protest was in response to two controversial Police shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana earlier this week. Five Police Officers are dead and seven others were wounded.  

The President instead of waiting for the facts, made racially charged comments as did Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton in response to the two recent Police shootings. Real leadership requires caution, balance and the understanding that inflammatory rhetoric can escalate into violence.

While ISIS is an external threat to the United States, criminal illegal aliens are a clear and present danger within the nation’s interior. Thousands of Americans have been victimized by criminal illegal aliens who have robbed, raped and murdered our citizens. Its time for the Obama Administration to protect Americans instead of allowing free range criminal aliens their continued campaign of terror.

Fed Gov't backs down on fight with rancher

In a scene out of a movie, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) backed down in a dramatic battle with a Nevada rancher and one thousand of his supporters over the use of federal lands to graze his cattle. In a heavy handed approach, hundreds of federal agents working for the BLM started confiscating cattle from rancher Cliven Bundy. Once state officials started to raise questions and others rallied to his defense, the BLM agreed to release his cattle and will pursue other remedies in their dispute with the rancher.

What makes this a story is the utter failure of the federal government to secure our borders by refusing to put the necessary resources in place to stop the invasion of foreign nationals yet they will send in hundreds of heavily armed agents to go after a citizen's property creating an environment where hundreds could have died.

The unemployment rate stands at 7.9% and anemic GDP growth.

 

Tomorrow voters will have a choice between two vastly different visions for America. Both candidates differ on the economy, foreign affairs and on issues that affect the family. Choose wisely and vote.

  The real Barack Obama on race

Click here for the video from the Daily Caller

 
     
In his famous speech on race, then candidate Barack Obama called for unity, criticized divisiveness and cut his ties with his former Pastor Jeremiah Wright. The speech to the nation was hailed as powerful and historic. Then three months later, he spoke before a black audience in which only a 9 minute transcript was released excluding the full speech. The new video shows the true Barack Obama as you have never seen him before; praising Jeremiah Wright, appealing to the race of his audience and engaging in a cadence often at times in anger in a racially charged speech. 
 
Comparison of the two speeches on Reverend Wright:

His speech on race on March 18, 2007, "On the other end, we've heard my former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, use incendiary language to express views that have the potential not only to widen the racial divide, but views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation; that rightly offend white and black alike...I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy." Later from his speech in June 2007, "my pastor, the guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me. He's a friend and great leader. Not just in Chicago, but across the country".

Click here for a transcript of his March 18, 2007 speech on race.

During an interview in 2004, Obama stated that he attended Trinity Church every week which contradicted his statements while running for President that he did not attend Wright's church regularly. Click here to read the transcript.

In a 5-4 decision, a divided Supreme court upheld President Barack Obama's signature issue; the government take over of healthcare. The decision was surprising not for it's closeness but for the decision to uphold the mandate under the spending clause while limiting governmental power under the commerce clause. The court's Chief Justice declared that the "penalty" for not purchasing health care insurance was indeed a tax governed under congressional power to tax. The administration while claiming publically that the "penalty" was not a tax never the less argued in their brief that it was, yet their argument on the spending clause was not their chief argument.

President finally comes out of closet; supports homosexual marriage 

The president finally admitted what most Americans knew all along, he personally supports homosexual marriage. During a interview today with ABC News, the President claiming that he has "evolved" on the issue stated, “At a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married,”. The facts contradict his new awakening. The President first came out for same-sex marriage back in 1996 when running for the state Senate in Illinois. When he ran for the US Senate and later for President, he changed positions. In 2008 he declared,  "I believe marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now for me as a Christian....it is a sacred union." Yet his actions to undermine traditional marriage as President prove he never "evolved", he just came out of the political closet in desperation and for money by appealing to his extreme base.

Justices poised to strike down entire healthcare law

 

Capping three days of oral arguments before the US Supreme Court, several Justices were skeptical of the controversial mandate provision of the health care law and the application of the commerce clause to justify the law. The federal law does not include a severability clause which would allow other provisions of the law to stand even if part of the law is declared unconstitutional. When the Senate passed the bill using the budgetary reconciliation process, they did not include the severability clause that was contained in the House version. So as goes the mandate, so goes the healthcare law.

Healthcare law on Life Support?

 

The Obama Administration moved to scrap a new entitlement program, the Community Living and Support and Services which was part of the government run healthcare program signed into law last year. The administration acknowledged that the program which targeted the disabled was not financially sustainable. Opponents have made a similar case again the entire law which is likely to move the majority of individuals into a government run healthcare program.

Shock: Turner leads in New York's 9th District Special Election

 

Three recent recent polls have Bob Turner (R) leading David Weprin (D) by 6 points one day before the special election scheduled for tomorrow. The determining factor will be turn out. Some of the issues that are playing in the race are Weprin's support for President Obama who has called for Israel to return to it's pre 1967 borders viewed as indefensible, Weprin's support of the 911 mosque and his vote in the New York Assembly to legalize homosexual marriage. Weprin has tried to paint Turner as a "Tea party extremist" in the pocket of big business and who wants to cut social security, however it's not clear if those attacks have had much traction. An interesting race to watch and one that will have national implications.

 

If you live in the 9th district, please don't forget to vote. Voting will begin on Tuesday, September 13, 2011 from 6am to 9pm at your regular polling site.

President Needs to change direction

 

With zero job growth in August and unemployment above 9%, the President's economic experiment with a pure Keynesian approach has been a total failure. The result is record deficits, record debt, a stagnant economy, uncertainty within the business community and a lack of confidence among consumers. The President needs to acknowledge the fact that his current policies have failed and he will move to limit the role of government in terms of unnecessary regulation, taxation and spending. Plain and simple, government will get out of the way.

Fight for Anthony Weiner's House Seat a Horse Race

 

In one of the bluest of congressional districts, the special election for former Anthony Weiner's house seat has turned into a referendum on President Obama's policies. Normally a reliable Democratic seat in Brooklyn and Queens, the special election which is set for Tuesday, September 13th has become a battle between two contrasting views on the role of government. The mere fact that this race is competitive is a bad omen for a President who is struggling to regain political footing in a difficult economy amid controversial public policies such as "healthcare reform" and government bailouts.

With the uncertainty in the middle east and reduced supplies on the world market, oil prices have climbed above the $100 dollar mark per barrel. With a fragile US economy at hand, the President is continuing to block off shore drilling. Even though the administration claims to have a "robust energy policy", their reluctance to open up the permit process has the effect of limiting production and sends a negative message to the world's oil market.

Earlier today, the US House of Representatives voted 245-193 to repeal the recently enacted Obama Care bill which was a contentious issue in the November election. The bill has an uncertain fate in the Senate where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) has threatened to block the repeal. Even in the unlikely event that the bill makes it out of the Senate, it faces an all but certain veto from President Obama.

With the failure of the 2009 stimulus to jump start the economy, the President has proposed spending another 50 billion to fund more roads, highways and other infrastructure improvements. The problem with the plan is that it doesn't work. The unprecedented level of federal spending has reduced the amount of capital that is available to the private sector which actually creates jobs. What is really shocking is that the 50 billion is only a down payment. When will Congress say "NO".

Is Health Care is Dead?

With the election of Scott Brown to fill the remaining term of Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts, Republicans have the 41votes to sustain a filibuster. Both the President and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have promised not to hold a final vote until Brown is formally seated. The only other option was for the House to accept the Senate version but with the announcement today by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she lacks the votes to pass the Senate plan, the current health care bill is likely dead. Are Democrats running scared?

The last time a Republican held the Kennedy seat was in 1946. Massachusetts is one of the most bluest states in the nation both in elected office holders and voter enrollment. Taken together with a 31% point swing from the election of President Obama in 2008 to the election of Scott Brown, there is no question that Republicans can win anywhere. What was Brown's position on the healthcare bill? He opposed it. Cap and trade? He opposed it. On reading Miranda warnings to enemy combatants caught on the battlefield and affording constitutional protections to the 911 conspirators? He opposed it. Voters clearly sent a message to the President and his party. Are they listening? Stay tuned.

Attempted Terror Attack; President Obama, "Human and Systematic Failures are to Blame"

The President confirmed that U.S. Intelligence agencies were aware of information that could have helped prevent the Christmas day attempted bombing of a Northwest passenger flight headed to Detroit from Amsterdam. The President  acknowledged that "There was a mix of human and systemic failures that contributed to this potential catastrophic breach of security". There was also a report that indicated that there was a link between this attack and the Fort Hood Terror attack.

This administration has laid the groundwork for a return of the pre-911 approach to terrorism. In light of the 911 Commission's findings and recommendations, its a failure of leadership. Whether embracing political correctness by denying that there is a systematic and well funded network of Islamic Fascists that are hell bent on killing Americans, giving unlawful enemy combatants the same constitutional rights as citizens, treating terror as a law enforcement matter or preventing intelligence sharing between agencies, the lessons of 911 should not be ignored. Hopefully this latest incident will persuade the  administration that the only approach to terror is to declare war on those who want to kill us.

Senate reaches 60 vote mark to pass Health Care Bill

With Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson's vote, the Senate reached the 60 vote mark yesterday with a actual vote scheduled for Christmas Eve. Once the bill passes, it must be reconciled with the House bill to reach the President's desk. The current bill still contains a provision that would provide taxpayer funds for abortions and would allow illegal aliens the right to purchase coverage. The bill includes $500 billion in cuts to Medicare, $400 billion in new taxes, and a requirement that all Americans must purchase health care or face fines. The projected cost of the final bill is $871 billion over ten years but it is not clear what the actual cost will be after the ten year mark.

President Obama to send Gitmo Prisoners to Illinois

An administration official announced that the administration will acquire a state prison in Illinois and will move at least 100 Gitmo detainees to the prison. The plan calls for their cases to be resolved by Military Tribunals, however consistent with the several controlling Supreme Court decisions, it remains questionable whether military tribunals remain as a viable option when the detainees are tried on US soil. It is likely that they will be afforded constitutional protections unlike what they are entitled to as unlawful enemy combatants tried on foreign soil. So why open up a legal Pandora's box? Unfortunately, the President has a pre-911 view that acts of terrorism can be treated as a criminal matter even suspending the rules of war. This is evident in his ill advised attempt to try the five detainees who master minded 911 in US Courts even though all have agreed to plead guilty before military tribunals and accept the death penalty. Considering their legal status, the circumstances upon which they were captures, on the battle field and the President's declaration that they were tortured, his prejudicial remarks as to their guilt, what will he do if they are found "not guilty"? Hopefully Congress will insist that the prohibition against transferring the detainees to American soil remain in place.

Push for Health Care Reform Hits Snag

In light of record government spending and the unease among Congressional Democrats over the cost of reforming health care, the President delayed his push for a "health care reform" bill before the congressional recess in August. The effort to establish a government run health care plan is raising concerns relating to its cost, who will be covered, taxing health care benefits and the establishment of a government board that will lead to the rationing of health care. Critics have likened the plan to socialized medicine similar to the European model and Canada's nationalized health plan. For more information as to the specific plan, please visit the links below.

Obama supports homosexual marriage.

While Barack Obama claims he opposes homosexual marriage, he is opposed to Prop 8 in California which will ban homosexual marriage. In his own words; "I've stated my opposition to this. I think it's unnecessary," Obama told MTV. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about."

Obama and his position on Abortion

Over the last several weeks, Barack Obama has been forced to defend his statements pertaining to his record on abortion. While attempting to straddle the middle while running for president, his campaign acknowledged his opposition to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act while in the Illinois State Senate. The bill was in response to several instances of botched abortions resulting in live births. Obama indicated that he opposed the initial bill as it defined the fetus as a person and could have been interpreted to encompass all abortions regardless on the viability of the fetus thus effecting Roe v. Wade. A second bill was drafted that limited the scope of the legislation to that of a fetus born alive. During the interim between both bills, a federal bill with the same language as the second Illinois state bill was passed without opposition in the U.S. House and Senate then signed by President Bush in 2002. In 2003, Obama voted against the second Illinois bill

Obama's Plan to Lower Oil prices

In what has been described as a political gaffe, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama recommended that Americans inflate their tires and get tune ups, "We could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could save just as much." After being criticized for being out of touch with the financial plight of middle class voters, Obama called for a rebate of $1000 to be paid by oil companies through the enactment of an excess profit tax. When this latest proposal appeared unworkable, Obama reversed his opposition to off shore drilling and is now supporting "limited additional offshore drilling".

While speaking at a fund raiser in San Francisco last Sunday, Barack Obama made the following statement, "But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there's not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Clinton and Obama Caught Lying

First Senator Clinton claimed to be under sniper fire when visiting Bosnia in 1996, now Senator Obama claims that his Pastor, Jeremiah Wright acknowledged that his comments were offensive. Senator Obama who appeared on The View today also claimed that he would have not felt comfortable staying at the church if Wright did not retire and acknowledge that his comments were deeply offensive and inappropriate. While a video tape confirmed that Senator Clinton's statement was patently false, there is no statement or video tape to show that Wright acknowledged that his comments were offensive. Obama's credibility is certainly an issue considering his 20 years of attendance at Wright's church.

Hamas is a terrorist organization, responsible for the deaths of many innocents, and dedicated to Israel's destruction, as evidenced by their bombarding of Sderot in recent months. I support requiring Hamas to meet the international community's conditions of recognizing Israel, renouncing violence, and abiding by past agreements before they are treated as a legitimate actor."

Cuomo: State & City University to Continue to Use Race as a Factor in Admissions

Reacting to guidance from the federal government to use race neutral policies in admissions, the governor directed both SUNY and CUNY to continue to use race as a factor. According to Cuomo,  “The Trump administration’s move to rescind the guidelines on using race in college admissions is a blatant attempt to limit the participation of minorities in higher education,”. He went on to say, “It is part of a troubling trend by the President and his administration to alienate minorities and build walls to diversity and equal participation in society.” He also noted that 76% of CUNY’s student body are minorities while the figure is nearly 45% for SUNY.

The New York State Board of Elections again failed to ensure that absentee ballots were mailed to thousands of active duty members of the armed forces serving overseas. Under the federal 2009 "Move" Act, all states are required to mail the ballots 45 days prior to an election. New York was given an extension until October 1st, however New York City, Putnam, Erie, Niagara and Westchester counties failed to mail the ballots several days after the extended dead line. The Justice Department which is charged with enforcing voting rights was slow to take any action. Only after receiving pressure from members of Congress did the Justice Department file suit against the NYS Board of Election which resulted in a settlement agreement to mail out the ballots on an expedited basis and extend the deadline for their return to be counted.

Governor Patterson who became Governor after Elliot Spitzer resigned in March of 2008, recently appointed Richard Ravitch as his Lt. Governor. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has indicated that the appointment is unconstitutional and we so concur. For precedent, Governor Malcolm Wilson and Governor Mario Cuomo believed that they did not have the constitutional authority to fill the vacant office of Lt. Governor during their term in office. Governor Patterson's illegal appointment is nothing more then a distraction and a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Mr. Schmitt is survived by his wife Lois, his daughter Samantha and his grand child Logan.

Peter Schmitt who served on the legislature since it's creation in 1996 was an out spoken politician who called it as he saw it. Some viewed his approach as gruff and rough around the edges but that was not the true man. He was warm, personal and approachable. He was witty and a decent guy. He loved Nassau County and his constituents. Nassau County and it's residents have suffered a great loss. Please keep Peter's family in your prayers.

Town Of Hempstead Clerk deserves due process

Town Clerk Mark Bonilla was arrested this past Friday on charges of official misconduct and harassment after being accused of asking an employee for compromising photos of a woman who accused him of sexual harassment. The Town Attorney's office investigated the allegation of sexual harassment and turned their findings over to the Nassau County District Attorney's office which filed criminal charges.

In the world of politics, perception is reality so its not surprising that Supervisor Kate Murray and the entire town board have called on Mr. Bonilla to resign. While the allegations are serious, Mr. Bonilla is entitled to due process like every other citizen and should be afforded the same protections regardless of his stature or the office he holds. The same applies to Speaker Sheldon Silver who faces allegations that he acted improperly when he facilitated the payment of taxpayer funds to settle a claim of sexual harassment against Assembly member Vito Lopez. Staten Island District Attorney Dan Donovan is currently investigating the matter.

Sexual harassment is a serious issue and should never be taken lightly. The same applies to the presumption of innocence and equal protection.

Mangano Proposes 3rd Budget without a property tax increase

County Executive Edward Mangano's proposed budget which contains no property tax increase is a promise made and a promise kept. The budget does contain "fee increases" on the use of parks and new permits for businesses. Yet his delivery of another no tax increase budget is a significant achievement and should be applauded. Considering the economic downturn and the existing public employee contracts that extend to 2014, Mr. Mangano has little room to maneuver on a local level. Its time for the Governor and legislature to repeal the Triborough agreement, tighten the eligibility standards for Medicaid benefits and assume more of the cost. Any savings should be used to cut "fees". While freezing taxes is desirable, tax relief is the answer.

Will Town of Hempstead Repeal Raises?

As reported on December 15th, all three towns, Hempstead, North Hempstead and Oyster Bay voted for salary increases. The increases were for the Town Supervisor and Town Board members. In the town of Hempstead, a group called "Roll Back the Raises" initiated an effort to secure signatures for a voter led referendum to repeal the raises. The group has also sent a letter to the town asserting that the town failed to provide proper public notice and the notice did not provide proper disclosure of a initiative and referendum option by the public to overturn the law. Based on these issues, the group has called upon the town to either provide the public proper public notice and or repeal the raises.

Our position; While we do not oppose reasonable salary increases for elected officials, based on the current economic conditions affecting Nassau County and the State, pay raises at this time are ill advised.

Nassau Legislature looking at increase to gas tax!!

Instead of offering relief, they offer more of the same, higher taxes. Nassau residents need to ask, "Are you better off today then you were 8 years ago?" Hold the County Executive to his promise of 8 years ago; “Elected officials are good at talking a game, all of us are, but I can do it because I've done it. The most important thing we need to do to help stimulate the economy in New York state is to reduce local taxes, especially property taxes.”

Call County Executive Suozzi at 571-3000 and tell him to keep his word

UPDATE: Nassau Legislative Committee passes Home Heat Tax

By a vote of 5-4, the Rules Committee voted to impose a home heating tax on all Nassau County residents. The vote was along party lines with the Democrat majority prevailing. Action on the proposed layoffs was postponed until Monday, February 23rd. County Executive Suozzi asked that the latter be postponed as a sign of good faith with the various public employee unions. No good faith was shown to overburdened taxpayers. Why would your legislator seek to impose new taxes during a recession when they just voted to raise property taxes? How can the legislature tax their way out of a budget deficit? Contact your legislator and oppose this new tax. Remind them who they work for!  Click here to see the resolution.

Suozzi to seek home heat tax

In an effort to close Nassau's budget deficit, the County Executive is considering a fuel surcharge on home heating oil and natural gas. This comes after a 3.9% property tax increase in October. With sales tax revenues down by 40-80 million dollars, any deficit should be closed with spending cuts and yet the very first item under consideration is a new tax. Please ask yourself a question, are we better off today then we were 8 years ago?

UPDATE: County Executive announces three part plan

County Executive Suozzi announced today that the county has a budget deficit of $130 million dollars (possibly as high as 150 million). He has called for county workers to agree to a seven percent pay cut or face layoffs. Several hundred county workers may be effected including two hundred Police Officers. His three pronged plan calls for the pay cut, $50 million more in additional Medicaid reimbursement from the federal government and state approval of red light cameras & higher taxes on cigarettes. It is not clear if the latter two provisions are viable.

For the two propositions, we urge Nassau voters to vote yes on proposition 1 and no on proposition 2.

Prop 1 (Amendment to State Constitution) Results

YES   148,461
 NO      45,155

           
Prop 2 (Amendment to County Charter) Results

YES    89,963
 NO    78,438


November 4, 2008

For the two propositions, we urge Nassau voters to vote yes on proposition 1 and no on proposition 2.

Prop 1 (Amendment to State Constitution): If passed, it would make it easier for disabled veterans to receive extra points on state civil service exams. It would eliminate the requirement that disabled vets receive disability payments to claim the additional points and instead only have their disability verified by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs to claim the credit.

Prop 2 (Amendment to County Charter): If passed by the voters next week, Proposition No. 2 would make the County Assessor an appointed rather than an elected position. This would eliminate the County Assessor's independence from the other braches of government and would make the Assessor's office less accountable to the people. This is why we urge a No vote. 

The Nassau County Civic Association, Inc does not endorse or support candidates for political office. We will continue to advocate for issues consistent with our mission statement.

Nassau County Legislature poised to vote for pay raise in August

Sources have told the Nassau County Civic Association that the legislature will vote for a legislative pay raise in August. Under the County Charter, any vote to raise legislator's salaries must be voted on by the legislature in the current term and cannot take effect until after the next election when a new legislature is seated. Thus the pay raises if approved would take effect in 2010. No details have been provided as to the amount of the proposed pay raise. If history is a guide, the raises will certainly be double digit. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
