While we're making a fancy new colliseum for the purpose of entertainment, we should realize that a few blocks away, there are communities in Hempstead that are financially burdoned.

To keep our recent college grads from leaving create specific 35 and under housing around transit hubs. This would be the first step in growing our stagnant local economy. AMH

I just came from a Long Island groundwater conference and learned that all of Suffolk County's police precincts have a drop-off box to dispose of unwanted or expired drugs and medications. The drop-off boxes are available 24/7. This is a great program because it helps keep the aquifers safe since most people just throw unwanted drugs and meds into the garbage or flush them down the drain. Nassau County should create a similar program. AMH

Class action suit to prohibit current elected officials to send out 4 page color brochures we pay for touting the amazing job they have done (and not publicized until election is near) to make this practice illegal.

Working people cannot make Legislature meetings during the day. They should have more meetings at night so working people can attend and participate.
