Nassau County is putting their best effort forward to try and keep The New York Islanders in Nassau County. Leading the effort is Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano, as reported by Newsday! The discussion has been put to standstill for quite some time since Mangano proposed a plan in January to renovate or build a new arena in place of Nassau Coliseum.

Manganos efforts are beginning by keepings the plan way more open than in the past. Now, Mangano is calling for any developer to kick start construction on the site. He has also become the chief of development on the project as well.

As of now, the highest bidder will be the single developer of the construction site and will have control of the project as long as it meets The Town of Hempstead’s zoning regulations for the land. 

One of the most important aspects at this point is the winning bidder for the project must begin negotiations soon after the Islanders are guaranteed to stay in Nassau County!

What are your thoughts? Do you think the Isles should stay in Nassau? Do you think a new coliseum should be built? Let us know your thoughts or concerns on our Facebook page linked HERE!

Last Fourth of July there were 100 DWI arrests in Long Island. Sadly, only 2 percent of drunk drivers are caught, meaning there could have been as many as 5,000 people driving under the influence on Long Island last Fourth of July.


With that said, Rep. Steve Israel, MADD, and DADSS called on Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to spend 10.5 million from the Surface Transportation bill to be used in anti-DWI technology research.

While we wait for this technology to be put into affect, reporting drunk driving and taking away someone’s keys are important prevention strategies.

Mangano commented on the issue saying, “I urge all who may be suffering from this debilitating disorder to utilize the professional mental health services and resources that are available in our region.

This year, Flag Day is today June 14th.Sadly, most Americans do not celebrate the day nor know when it is! Flag Day isnot an official federal holiday, so there is no day off or overtime pay grantedto employees on this day.


What is the true meaning of Flag Day and why is June 14th significant? June 14th is historic because it was on that day thatthe Continental Congress passed an official resolution in 1777 that the flag ofthe United States would be 13 stripes alternating red and white, the unionwould be 13 stars white in a blue field representing a new constellation.  The flag also represents the people. The red and white stripes represent the original thirteen colonies and the stars represent every new state that entered the union.
