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.
47% INCREASE in taxes in 7 years. Almost a $BILLION in debt for the Town. Venditto gave himself a pay raise of 12% right after being re-elected 2 years ago. He raises taxes every other year so he can say he is not raising taxes in an election year. His failure of real infrastructure upkeep led to the demolition on the Hicksville LIRR Garage. The Town payroll is full of republican party commitee-members including one who resigned for theft but was rehired in a different department for MORE MONEY.
In my opinion, the housing needs of the young people are important since we do not want to drive them away from Long Island, in search of affordable housing. Here in the beautiful Town of Oyster Bay, something needs to be done in order to reduce the brain drain here.
Enough said.
