Community Corner
Weigh in on Funding Fight
The fight over social service cuts that could affect Massapequa's YES Community Counseling is going down to the wire. How will it come out?
The clock is ticking towards Thursday and a painful deadline for organizations such as YES Community Counseling.
YES is one of dozens of social service providers that received a letter from County Executive Ed Mangano threatening to cancel their contracts with the county if Democrats didn't pass refunds that are due to residents who protested their tax bill.
Three Democrats are needed to create a supermajority to pass the bill and an attempt by Republicans to pass it this week failed to get those votes.

Democrats have argued that Mangano is to blame because the County rescinded a law that funded the service programs with money received from red light cameras.
Caught in middle are the service organizations who are watching time run out.
