Interest rates are at historic lows. All school districts should examine their Energy Performance Debt, Serial Bonds and Construction Bonds to see if they could be refinanced. Roslyn Schools did just that and saved the taxpayers over $500,000.

Village elections should be held in November along with county, state and national elections (rather than March and May).

Villages will save by eliminating the time, money and effort to set up and staff polling places twice in the same year. Plus you'll get a higher voter turn-out when the local election is accompanied by these other elections.

Nassau County should institute an Office of the Inspector General with full subpoena power and arrest authority to investigate, and monitor, all County agencies, City, Towns, Villages and Special Districts within our borders. The current Department of Investigations seems to be stale, has no teeth and corruption seems to be ripe under their watch. Perfect example is the mismanagement and wasteful spending found to be going on at the TOH animal shelter costing tax payers millions. Theft is theft, and when it comes to our tax dollars justice should be done.
