On January 1, 2018, a new Suffolk County law will go into effect, charging a five-cent fee for plastic and paper carryout bags, at a variety of retail stores. Those in support of the fee believe it will protect the environment. Those against view it as a tax that will hurt local businesses. Would you support Nassau County imposing a five-cent fee on plastic and paper carryout bags?

When I moved to Farmingdale village, the village taxes were a few hundred, but now I pay almost $1400 per year, and for what? They don't provide anything that the township does'nt provide, so what am I paying for? These municipalties are out of control with no oversight by anyone! Don't pay it, then out you go! This isn't peanuts we are talking about....

The Town of Brookhaven is in the process of doing it and it will generate over $2M per year of new revenue. Why not do the same thing in Nassau?

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?

I see the police patrol our schools for the first week of school in the early am and when school gets out than you never see them the whole year. Why is this not done all year?? I would like to see more enforcement of the school speed zone during this time as there are kids all over the place. North Jersulam Road between Gardners and Wantagh ave is a speed trap. Lots of kids walk home, close to the road and cars fly by. We need safety for our children that Nassau County is not providing. Lets have some speed enforcement here please, even if its one hour a week.
