I'm in glen cove next to golf course. 20 huge pine trees are lined up next to the fence, very close to my house. I had 2 trees fall from next to my house and Brocke my fence. These are city trees. Do you think I have to sue the city? I was at city hall making several requests at the mayors office and every time is different story and nothing was done after hurricane sandy. Do I have to hire lawyer to make myself heard?

Something has to be done about the extraordinary school taxes facing retirees on Long Island, they are way out of hand and in many cases will take most or all a retirees social security income! While its true, these people should have done more to save for retirement, these taxes are super huge and a fare amount of people living on L.I. have no children in school anymore and many never had children period. This is not a fair system. We should use a system more akin to the NYC system where some of this money comes from payroll rather than property taxes.......

The County Executive's plan to shift the evaluation and financial burden of tax certioraris to school districts to "cut taxes" is a mistruth. In actuality, the people's taxes related to this function will increase as the burden is shifted to school districts having each of the 54 school districts to create their own tax certiorari offices instead of the one office that the County runs. The increase in personnel needed to accomplish this task will increase significantly. We need to make this known to the populous. How do we do that?
