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.

In Brooklyn, the Village, the Lower East Side, etc. First the artists came, then the shops came, then the mad demand for housing came. Long Island can feel like a cultural wasteland. Aside from a few museums (mostly on the North Shore) its really hard to find something interesting to do here.
I suggest the County open some properties up to Artists for studios (open to the public, like at the Museum Of Design), and galleries.
Let us become known for something other than bad government and shopping malls

All Hands Volunteers has opportunities for volunteers to live on their Superstorm Sandy response site on Long Island.
The organization had over 1,400 volunteers from the New York area work in the field, but now it's opening accommodations for volunteers at its Project Long Island in Long Beach, New York.
On October 29th, 2012, Sandy made landfall in the Northeastern U.S., causing widespread damage from high winds and flooding. Since the week after the storm, All Hands has been on the ground helping hard-hit communities.

Democrats and Republicans have each led Nassau and each failed miserably. To move forward Nassau needs viable 3rd party candidates that are focused on the real problems we face. Thumbs up for establishing a strong 3rd party in Nassau.

Mangano got rid of the buses supposedly to save money, but at whose expense? The expense of the middle & lower class citizens who require this service to commute to & from work, as well as basic travel around the county! The Nice system revamped supposedly to make the system more efficient!!! But how is taking a 1 hour bus ride & making it a 2 hour ride more efficient! The buses are now worse than ever! Selling the buses was one of the worse decision mangano made during his term! This company knows nothing about Nassau or the needs of its citizens!
