Joint Statement On Nassau County’s Fiscal Crisis


(516) 319-5822 
 
On May 11, 2012, Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano, Presiding Officer Peter Schmitt and The Republican Legislative Caucus issued a joint statement to county residents regarding the fiscal crisis.

In the statement, they are saying that Democrat Minority on the Legislature is refusing to implement a plan that forever ends borrowing for tax refunds while cleaning up debt created over the past decade. 

Per the press release, if the Democrats do not provide the votes needed to pay residents their rightfully owed property tax refunds, judgments will be executed against the County’s bank accounts – preventing the County from meeting payroll or funding government services (http://goo.gl/NGV3s).

If this is turned down, there will be massive cuts, which could include the following:
- Furlough of all nonessential employees
- Closure of all nonessential County offices on Mondays
- Elimination of the Youth Board
- Elimination of the Office of Mental Health, Chemical Dependency and Developmental Disabilities Services
- Eliminated of the Red Light Camera Dedicated Fund
