some people just have to complain about something..if it's not the blowers. it would be something…Read More else..its ridiculous~

Jason, I realize Mayor Altadonna will no longer be our Mayor but did not know he already left his…Read More position. And Joann Giovino Fagiolo with all due respect they have been a problem for years, and the problem is that no one follows the laws created for this. I would like to see your response if you get to bed at 3am and are woken up at 7am because of the blowers. You might have a different perspective.

The only absolutely effective way to protect Long Island land from ocean and sound flooding is to…Read More build dykes around the entire island which doesn't make any sense and would be extremely expensive . Irene and Sandy are not unusual weather for Long Island when you look back at Long Island weather over the past 100 years. Sandy was similar to what LI experienced in 1938. All part of living on an island.

But can we afford to rebuild after every storm? And at what cost?
FJDietz June 17, 2013 at 02:30 pm
Why should LI be different from any other parts of the USA that have to recover from Mother Nature's…Read More disasters? Does California rebuild after earthquakes, does Florida rebuild after hurricanes, does Hawaii rebuild after tsunamis, do the states in tornado alley rebuild after tornadoes, do farmers in the Midwest rebuild after draught and dust storms??? Historically we on LI are blessed to have so few disasters. Only a big spending, big government fool (such as someone like the nanny mayor) would consider spending hundreds of billions of tax payer dollars to end any potential for flooding on LI.

No, it has nothing to do with how hard you work. It's just that the elite one percenters are treated…Read More differently when they run afoul of the laws in this country. No one has been jailed for the corporate malfeasance that resulted in the financial crash of '08, in spite of the rules that were ignored or broken. Too big to fail is the order of the day. Meanwhile, petty frauds committed by poor and middle class are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Two Americas. The rule of law, unevenly applied, whether by race, or class, or economic station will result in the unraveling of society. We may well be seeing the beginnings of that now, as we've entered a new gilded age, where new robber barons are allowed to run roughshod over the lower classes. The very ideals of America are at stake, and we are letting them slide away.

Will the new Massapequa station platform be covered end-to-end as it is now? If it will only be…Read More partially covered, like Seaford station, there are going to be a lot of cold, wet, unhappy commuters.

Mr. Coyote, The design plans only call for a canopy over certain parts of the station platform, like…Read More almost all of the other stations along the branch. The canopies will be primarily over the staircases, elevator, waiting room, and one other small section on the middle section of the platform between the elevator and east escalator.
