View Full Version : Suozzi is behind High school Taxes
I aint no hick fool yall
03-15-2005, 01:15 AM
Suozzi is fully responsible because he's the one that raised the tax rate 40%, higher in some areas (particularly areas with high GOP turnout I might add). The schools pay the higher rates too, and so do the teachers, clericals and administrators that live in Nassau County and work in the schools and they need salary's that afford them to pay these increased taxes. Tom Suozzi is fully responsible for eliminating funds and shortchanging programs for children and special needs children for after school activities and youth groups and social services organizations that the schools now must pick up. More people are sending their kids to public schools, draining the system, because Tom Suozzi taxed them out of private schools. Tom Suozzi is supporting the illegal alien population by building camps for day laborers and proposing to build low income, high rise apartment buildings everyone. Levinson is supporting them by proposing to "legalize" illegal housing units by re-classifying them into commercial properties and they now want to forgo landlords having to pay any tax at all, and force us all to pay income taxes knowing full well the people who tax the school system the most, pay nothing as it is because those with incomes (not on welfare or in addition to welfare) make their money off the books. Tom Suozzi is responsible for choosing the hard nosed line-up against juvenile delinquents he put in charge of family court, and those kids deemed juveniles and also kids deemed in need of supervision get housed in long term facilities that the school districts have to pay for. Tom Suozzi supports a county attorney who attacked parents of special needs children to get county reimbursements for what medicaid was paying for, which reimbursements had to be made-up by the SCHOOL DISTRICTS at triple the cost (because medicaid is a state - federal program) since ALL children are entitled to an education. Tom Suozzi fails to provide bus transportation which the school districts have to pay for and Tom Suozzi is so busy campaigning for Governor in upstate New York that he has completely ignored the issues the school districts have the inadequacy of his budget in helping to fund for basic youth care. That's how I blame Tom Suozzi for the cost of high school taxes, which, wouldn't even seem that high if he didn't also increase the property tax by 40% right after 2 major re-assessments. CUT PATRONAGE SPENDING, CUT TAXES, CUT TOM SUOZZI.
property tax affects all
03-15-2005, 01:22 AM
Yes, his 40% increase in the property tax rate absolutely affected the school tax rates. Of course it did. It affected the maintainance people are paying on their coops too. Even though it's not real property, and only a possessory lease and stock shares. Of course the building owners were hit by higher property taxes and that gets passed off to the coop owners. Just like the renters are paying high rents. Same principal. The only ones not affected are the people that work directly for Suozzi because they live in NYC counties and Suffolk. Don't even get me started on his policy cuts for programs that affect working mothers and kid's youth programs and the increase in fees for all the counties recreational activities. He has more than $16 million dollars to give to 422 patronage appointees, plus benefits and pensions - but we who live here and support them, can no longer afford catholic schools for our kids. Go Peterson in 2005!

40%!
You mean to tell me that Suozzi raised taxes 40%!
You tell me how much in real money that amounts to, and I'l protest it myself! Is my now $12,000 property tax going up by $4800 ? ! ?
Well, I oughta - what did you say?
Oh, you mean Suozzi raised THE COUNTY PORTION of our taxes 40%
and not the whole magilla? So what's that - $480 since he took office?
$480 and he fixed the broken budget system eliminating this year's deficit (you know, "deficit" as in the Bush Administration's... budget)?
$480 and he eliminated waste and abuse and got Wall Street to start selling bonds that were worth something to us?
$480 and he's got Rep's, Consv's. and Dem's. beating a path to his door?
Heck, I'll send him an even $500 next year if he keeps up this great work.
So next time you want to spread "40%" rumors around, FINISH YOUR SENTENCE (I'm referring to the grammar kind), get out the 80 proof Bacardi and I'll help ya drink to Nassau County's future! Or a beer, for gs'sakes!
2005 slogan for re-election:
"Tom Suozzi - you doesn't hafta like him to elect him - heck, I can't stand him - he can do it because he's done it AGAIN!"
Hey idiot from Roosevelt
03-15-2005, 08:44 PM
Here in garden city it was almost a 50% property tax increase. First tax rate increase over 9%, Second tax rate increase over 9%, Third tax rate increase over 19% - 3 years - 3 tax rate increases at a total average bill of about 40%. It's fact sweetie. Not made up. Why do you think the stupid ass who raised it - Tom Suozzi - is now even complaining about himself in Newsday - trying to push the blame off on all the towns that actually provide the services you get, and the schools who are laboring beneath his cuts in youth services on top of the 2 re-assessments they also got hit with? I'd love your address so I can run right down to the assessor's office to find out why they missed your house. How much did you contribute to Suozzi anyway? And please - what DID HE DO? He raised taxes and so magically the credit rating for the County rose. WOW! Look around - he's done NOTHING and he's already telling us he's leading us into a multi-million dollar deficit in 2006. Why? Because he didn't balance the books. He provided no services, he fixed no streets, he repaired no parks, he got rid of almost 500 cops who worked in special victims units and on units beating down gang activity, he depleted youth organizations and rehabilitation services and work and employment programs for the poor and the unemployed and who do you think is picking up the tab for ALL of that? He raised fees, he's got surcharges on everything including your phone and your Nassau Colliseum tickets, and in 2006 he's implementing an energy tax. The golf courses, swimming pools, mini golf and batting cages around the parks all cost much more money, so do leisure passes, but noone is paid to check them anymore so everyone from NYC borders can use all our stuff which we pay for. He has 422 NYC appointees with $16 million dollars in salary now on the payroll. He hasn't consolidated or renovated a thing. He hasn't stuck to one campaign promise except that HE RAISED TAXES 40%. So you go ahead and give him your money fool. He LOVES people like you.
State money
03-16-2005, 11:59 PM
Suozzi also got several influxes of state money from the lipa (old lilco lawsuit) and givebacks and started with money in the ageny coffers unspent from the republicans in at least 2 agencies that I know of. Plus he got the influx of cash from the numc deal that went through and he still floated a $50 million bond for maintainance, preservation and repairs of the parks and open space which he still hasn't done anything about. Now after he got that money he's talking about building high rise apartments in dense concentrations. What open space? He also never paid the pile-up of tax assessment refunds - of course he doesn't have a deficit. His trick is he doesn' t pay the bills or fix things. He just makes sure his contractors and his patronage appointments get paid and he says its a balanced budget.

Hey, nobody calls me sweetie, sweetie...
The FACT is that NOBODYS TOTAL TAXES went up 40% - unless of course they got even more richer than God last year - would that be the koolaid talking -
Look, we all know that Pete Schmitt is a loyal yadda yadda yadda, but it looks like he finally got caught in a classic "baffle 'm with BS" moment by pulling made-up crime stats out of his... back pocket lets say. (refer to, "DILLON REBUKES GOP LOUDMOUTH AFTER STATE OF THE COUNTY ADDRESS," any local media)
I know youre just spouting the "Talking points" youre fed from Post Ave, you cant help yourself - or maybe -

Made up crime statistics? Get off your rocks and take a walk around the county sweetheart. But don't go alone and don't go at night. Hempstead, Roosevelt, Freeport, Baldwin, Long Beach, Oceanside, New Cassel, Hicksville - they ALL have either a gang presence or gang activity. Most assaults, thefts, drug dealing, vandalism, break ins - they aren't even reported let alone investigated and Dillon is blind to it all. He's interested in going after welfare recipients who use their hotel money to buy food and old men who tell jokes about lawyers then he is about going after crime. No DA activity, no arrest, no arrests no report. You just walk around one day and see. Get the scope from the cops in your own precinct about the gang activity and the crime levels that are going on right before your own nose and then come back here and talk to me about Peter Schmidt. Use your eyes, ears and nose for god's sake and get out and see just what has become of this county. Maybe you're to busy playing with your calculator to see things clearly. And YES - some tax bills hit 50%. I know plenty of people who had 3 increases in 3 years over thousands of dollars. Maybe you just don't have any friends. Gotta get the baby's bottle now or I'd break it out for you.
Use you heads and think
03-17-2005, 05:01 PM
Suozzi keeps chanting about how he "only" increased the county portion of the property taxes 20% and then held the line but what he doesn't tell you is that he stopped spending the money that the county normally spends on things like road and park repairs and renovations and clean-up. He tried to tell the towns and villages it was their responsibility to do all that county business, and then he forced their hand by withholding money from them for services the town does provide which is with money allocated from the county that the county gets for this reason from the state and feds. It's exactly the same thing he did to the schools by withholding their money and cutting out youth groups and social services, educational and work programs and some police activity league functions - throwing the burden on everyone else. This is what he is complaining about with medicaid. Suozzi is the biggest phony and scam artist going. He complains he has to increase property taxes because the state is withholding reimbursement money for medicaid and yet he is withholding all funding that used to go to the schools, towns and special districts. Then when they are forced to raise their taxes, Suozzi swoops in and blames them for high taxes. In the meantime, thanks to Newsdays complete lack of reporting, nobody has question what Suozzi is doing with the county money because he sure as hell hasn't been spending it on any services beneficial to the county taxpayers. We do know he has a patronage staff of $16 million that get retroactive county benefits including free, lifetime medical benefits for people 55 and over and longevity pay even though they haven't worked in the county very long and don't even live in the county. We do know he is floating a bond in excess of $50 on the pretext of land preservation, but that he wants to build high rise apartment buildings on that land instead. We do know he wants to close down our only public medical center but is floating a bond for almost $2 million dolllars to build a life science center on the Queens border on private property where LIJ-North Shore Hospital is building an outpatient facility and we know Suozzi's father is a trustee in that hospital. We know that millions of dollars in personal service contracts have been given out through IDA and that, thanks to the NY Times reporting, we learned each and every one of those contracts corresponds precisely and exactly to political contributions. We know that you can't even sell ice cream at our parks, which haven't been touched since Suozzi took office, unless you have one of those contracts and the concessionaire who did get that contract is a Democratic Party Leader. We know that while Peter Sylver stole $1 million dollars of federal money (after sexually abusing a subordinate which the Suozzi administration tried to cover up with a confidentiality agreement) that was earmarked for low income housing for poor people, the Department of Social Services housed poor people in motels and then arrested them for using their money earmarked for housing toward basics like FOOD, while Peter Sylver got off with a slap on the wrist. We know the County Attorney forced the politically connected outside counsel to kickback 10% of the fees they were owed or threatened them that they would have to wait until hell froze over before they'd get paid, and that Suozzi has now implemented a scam with his politically hand choosen independent contractors where they get paid immediately, by computer, IN ADVANCE of doing any work at all. We know that Suozzi built "employment" sites in Glen Cove for illegal alien day laborers and that they wanted to ignore the problem of illegal alien's and illegal housing by condoning the activity and simply re-classifying these slums as commercial properties to raise their property taxes which will only lead to more illegals cramming into to further sub-divided sleeping areas to pay the higher rents these slumlords will undoubtedly start charging. We know that while Suozzi has hired 422 appointees, at least 1/2 half having been reported by the NY Times as living outside Nassau County, he has reduced the police force by 522 officers and decimated the special victims unit which handles the gang activity on long island as well handles the sex crimes and the juvenile aid bureau, and we can all see that despite Dennis Dillon's denials, the gang population with all its inherent crimes, has sprung up in almost every town in Nassau County and is so bad in many areas that people are afraid to walk around alone and night and women are afraid to go to the local 7-11 alone by day for fear of being sexually harassed by drunken illegal alien day laborers. This is the quality of life that has been forced upon us while Tom Suozzi has been in office, and he has only been in office for a single term. These are the indisputable things that we know and I'm only just beginning to put it all together. I can only hope others do too before it's too late.
Amazing Kresskin
03-19-2005, 01:01 AM
And now, ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be amazed and mystified as we REVEAL what is really going on with the screed posted above -
and this is an OPINION,
just as the above five-hundred words are OPINION,
and the First Amendment of the S Constitution provides that OPINION is what can and must be shared amongst a free people,
if we're ever to survive as a nation
(and God bless us, we've made it almost 230 years so far!)
"use heads" said:These are the indisputable things that we know and I'm only just beginning to put it all together. I can only hope others do too before it's too late.
First, here's the biggest Opinion:
"indisputable things that we know"
Well, since I KNOW that these "things" are spelled out in the Post Avenue script, I know that you "think" that's the same as "knowing" them.
So you can not be blamed for reading from the same script as Pete Schmitt .
Second, here's the Inaccuracy:
"I'm only just beginning to put it all together "
As I mentioned above, it's "all" being "put together" by Post Avenue. (and it's all "made-up" too)
Third, and finally, this Lie:
"I can only hope others do too before it's too late."
You DON'T hope that, all you hope for is that you can get (or get one back) a patronage job, because in a heartbeat, you would LEAP at the chance to get ahold of one of those health-insured, pension generating jobs that you begrudge to the appointees (who, I might add, actually have the experience and the credentials to work the jobs they're given - how rare in Nassau County history, I know, but still...)
So YOU are part of the problem, spewing out false facts force fed to you by the "grand-old" party...
since you remind me of ol' OBI Bob - you remember, the felon who used to tell us , "Get out before its too late" whilst he padded his own nest and parachute? - I'm going to offer you the same deal,
take your self on down the road - Georgia or Florida would be about right - and let the rest of us continue to rebuild what used to be a great place to live - despite the GOP machine and its humanity-devouring ways.[/i]
Just like Suozzi

You said you were going to give an opinion but you never really got around to one.
If the posts were all made up like you said - what's the truth - point out what the lie was and what the truth is. If the statements were really false - you should be able to do that
Who was qualified for the jobs they got?
Peter Sylver? He was personally bankrupt and was put in charge of economic development
Borin in the assessor's office? He was in charge of the tax and finance department in NYC while all the illegal kickback schemes were going on and came to Nassau just before they all got arrested.
Goodman? The NYPD boycotted her in the courtroom for losing cases, the NYC civil/human rights commission petitioned the mayor to take back own cases because she had a 4000 case pileup and then she brought her right hand with her and hired Peter Reinharz who was just about to be tossed because he couldn't play nice with any of judge Kaye's or the mayor's court innovations and was involved in improperly giving away children's medical records so they could be used in scientific experiments using fen fen.
Reilly over in TVB - what's her experience?
These people are not qualified for the job and in my opinion are not worth the residency exemptions they got. It sounds to me like you are one of them. You'll notice you are the only one that mentioned jobs. The posters before you resent paying taxes to support non-residents in county jobs. And I'll go a step further. I'll say I resent it because how could anybody care what the result is of what they do when they don't live here and don't have to face their neighbors and friends at the end of the day.
Direct from Newsday
03-19-2005, 05:50 PM
Those facts above actually came from the liberal democrat's beloved newspaper Newsday, and it's superior - the NY Times. They can't be disputed because they are true. The only difference is, they weren't buried in glowing adjectives and spun off in silken threads of the finest fabric to weave a positive spin for Suozzi. They are just gathered up and layed out there for you to digest. And when you put it out there without Newsday's editors telling you how to think about it - it doesn't look so good anymore.

Schools fight Back
03-22-2005, 11:47 PM
Instead of sitting around letting Suozzi blame the schools for all of society's ills - the schools are now filing lawsuits against the county to go after the commercial tax breaks they deem would help them close budget gaps. Maybe yes, maybe no. Maybe driving away business from LI will do more harm than good. But I'm glad to see they aren't taking Suozzi's flogging sitting down. Good for them. They aren't as stupid as he thinks. Good for the taxpayers too. Lets the courts review the deals now.
And the war is on!
04-02-2005, 02:34 AM
So Suozzi is warring against the schools now huh? Well, we'll see who the last man standing is.
Da Da Da Da ------ to the polls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suozzi is the reason
04-04-2005, 07:51 PM
Funny, when you ask these Suozzi supporters for specifics they can't give you any. Because there aren't any. He's done nothing in the county's best interests.This plan on top of Suozzi's plan is just too damned much. Suozzi wants to pay nothing local toward medicaid and have the state pick up 100% of the medicaid tab. If the state does this, it'll have to raise state income taxes enough to do this. That means, Nassau County will have to subsidize the local portion of the Nassau County part, as well as, the local portion of the NYC part. The problem with that is that NYC now constitutes 70% of the cost of medicaid. Meaning, we will be picking up an unproportionate share of medicaid costs under Suozzi's plan. Just so the idiot can run around town spending our money on patronage deals and giving it away to his real estate developer and construction company friends and then Newsday can do PR articles about how we can now borrow more money at lower interest rates because our bonds are worth more? Then he floats bonds to build on private lands near Queens on LIJ property, and to preserve our parks which he then sells to the North Shore. He's sold 9 Nassau County parks to the North Shore already, meaning, everyone else in Nassau County loses the right to use them. Then he runs Levinson for TOH supervisor - the guy who thinks the way to solve illegal immigrant housing is to charge the landlords higher property taxes and then campaigns to implement an across the board income tax when the problem in keeping desirable people from leaving here is that they can't afford to buy homes as it is, now he's going to take away the disposible income they had to save to buy homes. No thanks. Suozzi is an idiot and he's sure not looking out for the interests of Nassau County.
Suozzi is out of season
04-07-2005, 08:18 PM
Yup reason - I'd say - Suozzi is out of season. Let's name a beach after him and send him packing. Hopefully, before he sells all the beaches on us like he's doing to the parklands!

Just don't fall behind on your County Property Tax bill or Suozzi will send the sheriiffs to drag you out of your home and toss all your stuff in the street. This is the cowboy's town people and he's coming after us ordinary folks with his pistols drawn.
lower taxes dump suozzi
04-14-2005, 10:48 AM
Taxes can't keep up with his spending policies. Dump him now and let Peterson take advantage of the sales tax revenues on the high oil prices like Suozzi is doing.
Rich Kessel see clearly
04-20-2005, 06:19 PM
The naked emperor is gonna have to start buying clothes because even Kessel can see through the Newsday PR blitz. The bottom line is that Suozzi did nothing. The State put in place over $100 million in state aid for Nassau County (thanks to Gulotta) which started off Suozzi's so-called budget fix and Suozzi also had the benefit of starting off with money unspent in many county coffers - like the County Attorney's office which had hundreds of thousands of unspent reserves and the introduction of new computers were already purchased and previously budgeted in the Gulotta budget so didn't have to be included in Suozzi's budget. Suozzi had merely to get on his horse and sit there as NIFA lead it around the square, making "advisory" decisions that Suozzi followed as he ran back and forth to Albany, upstate NY, Washington and Queens doing who the hell knows what. Interest rates remained depressed so spending kept climbing and oil prices rose and the housing market boomed. Suozzi only had to take advantage of the economic circumstances he had nothing to do with, let NIFA do it's job and take hand outs from the State. Even then, his spending policies were so crazily out of line, he still hasn't gotten rid of the tax assessment refunds which was the whole problem that caused the GOP to crash, and he's STILL warning us there will be a multi-million dollar deficit by the end of 2006. Who does he think he's kidding?

Dont plan the locals for the states failures.
Superficial analysis
04-26-2005, 09:31 PM
That's a conclusory and superficial statement that completely jumbles cause and effect with apples and oranges. If you knew anything about anything - you'd see how stupid a blanket statement like that is. Stop wasting time campaigning for your boy Spitzer on local threads. Pataki pulled Nassau County out of a fiscal mess and if Suozzi has his way, the state - no matter who runs it - will have no choice but to raise state income taxes even further because they'll have to make-up for the local district's failure to pay their proportionate share. Case in point - Medicaid. Suozzi doesn't want to pay any part of the local district's medicaid bill - in fact - he's fighting for NYC too. He wants the state to pick up the whole tab - so he can use that money to pay off his patronage staff. Who do you think pays that? He gets the same amount of taxes and fees from us - and he gets to play with that money and spend it on Suozzi agenda items. Medicaid has to be funded. The state picks up the tab and needs more money to fund it so it raises taxes and raises fees because the municipalities are fiscally irresponsible. We pay for it anyway. Now we're paying out of both sides and getting no more in return. In fact, Nassau County is the biggest loser because we have to NOW support NYC - who is otherwise picking up a good 70 - 80% of the medicaid tab - that we will now have to support. Think about that next time you shoot your stupid mouth off. Suozzi reduced funding to the schools and to the towns, and villages. In fact, he owes millions of promised dollars for capital contruction and street repair projects to town all over Nassau County and has cut down county services forcing the Towns to pick up that service - like givng the parks away, selling public land to private developers and privitazing what should be government sponsored activities. You really have it all backwards friend and it's people like you who are allowing this type of nonsense to exist in the first place.

04-26-2005, 11:52 PM
Wasn't Nassau county on the verge of bankruptcy itself before Suozzi got in? Wasn't the county's bond ratings in the garbage then? Didn't Gullotta do the Bush- like "spend but don't pay as you go, they'll pay it next year" ? It does hurt when you tighten the belt and try to pay the bills. Doesn't make anyone happy, except what's that you say, the bond rating from wall street is up 3, or 4 times? Why might that be?

He caused the school taxes to go up??Are you people morons? 85% of the school budget is negotiated personnel salaries...that's negotiate BY THE BOARDS OF EDUCATION...TAXPAYERS....The county exec has no, zero, zippo, none influence on this. My god you people are asses.
Quite the opposite
04-27-2005, 01:21 AM
His failures caused our fiscal instability and his inaction was his greatest success. If he just sat on his horse and let Nifa led him around and take hand outs from the state - he'd had been ok. But every time he opened his mouth and a stupid idea flew out - he created more of a black hole. GOP was in power 40 years remember. Suozzi destroyed things in 3. And Suozzi has his own surcharges tacked onto the state fees - the municipalities get a piece of the state pie - those fees pataki raised are partially local money too or didn't you know that either? And on top of that - suozzi added additional local surcharges to tickets, local sales tax, registrations ect. He gets a piece of the state pie and then added his own on top of that. All at our expense. Again, I know someone else told you but I'm telling you too now because you sound like the same young, angry, ultra liberal jackass - look into these things before you talk about them because you don't know a damned thing about the way the budget works - or the economics either.
denial
04-27-2005, 06:29 PM
well that pretty much begs the FACT that nassau was broke when Suozzi got in and is now rated at it's highest. WHY IS THAT? ANSWER THE QUESTION. ps am not young or necessarily liberal-depends on the issue /candidate
Can't you READ
05-13-2005, 08:08 PM
Idiot - read the posts. The answer is there. You need to apply your drug induced brain cells. NIFA was appointed in 2001 and made all the fiscal decisions that Suozzi followed AFTER the STATE gave Nassau County more than $93 million to get them out of debt. Suozzi then raised taxes, implemented surcharges and fees, withheld money from Towns and School districts, floated a $50 million bond to fix the parks - which he still hasn't done - and took advantage of a boom in sales tax revenue, which Newsday attributes is 40% of the revenue budget - the taxes being another 40% and State and Federal aid making up the rear. You are so stupid you can't even read the very specific facts that are posted here and all you keep posting is TELL ME TELL ME. Why don't you do yourself a favor and go get your GED so we don't have to keep pointing out the obvious to you - something that you will never be able to understand. All you deal with is political rhetoric when the truth is hitting you in the face. And guess what? The County is in debt again and predicting a bigger mess in 2006 than we ever had in 2000 because Suozzi still hasn't paid off the tax assessment refunds, and failed to leave any room to compensate for increasing medicaid and pension costs. NOW since he raised taxes so much his very first year, that possibilty is foreclosed leaving Nassau County STRANGLED!

The NYPD boycotted her in the courtroom for losing cases, the NYC civil/human rights commission petitioned the mayor to take back own cases because she had a 4000 case pileup and then she brought her right hand with her and hired Peter Reinharz who was just about to be tossed because he couldn't play nice with any of judge Kaye's or the mayor's court innovations and was involved in improperly giving away children's medical records so they could be used in scientific experiments using fen fen.
Reilly over in TVB - what's her experience?
These people are not qualified for the job and in my opinion are not worth the residency exemptions they got. It sounds to me like you are one of them. You'll notice you are the only one that mentioned jobs. The posters before you resent paying taxes to support non-residents in county jobs. And I'll go a step further. I'll say I resent it because how could anybody care what the result is of what they do when they don't live here and don't have to face their neighbors and friends at the end of the day.

Who was qualified for the jobs they got?

pay cut for teachers
05-16-2005, 11:56 PM
suozzi is partially responsible but teachers need a salary freeze and incoming salarys have to start lower. like civil service they should max out before they get to 6 figures. encourage old coots to bit the dust and make room for newbies.
IT TAKES 21 YEARS AND A PHD TO GET TO 6 FIGURES IN MOST DISTRICTS. YOU PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID. TEACHERS GET HIRED WITH A MASTERS AT 30-35,000. GO GET A 6 YEAR DEGREE IF YOU THINK ITS SO EASY.
Suozzi's kids go to private school - what does he care if the public school kids have to do without.
Who can explain? Roosevelt and Hempstead both reject their budgets - but then so does Locust Valley. Why? I can see Lawrence rejecting the budget - the orthodox there send their kids to private - so what do they want to pay for the unorthodox to get a decent education? Same argument all over again - shouldn't people who don't use the public school get a tax rebate - the childless and the privater schoolers both? That's pretty much what they seem to be saying over there.
state programs
05-22-2005, 01:29 PM
state programs are mandated through the federal government education laws to protect and nurture all kids including special needs. the county is suppose to be paying for the programs but it shifted that burden onto the schools which were not set up to be revenue producing entities. suozzi couldn't produce the revenue and still spend at the rate he spends so he ignored the county's responsibility and shifted it to the towns, villages and schools instead creating a snowball effect of raised taxes and fees and inevitably reduced services in order to comply with the federal and state guidelines. suozzi is a menance that must go in 2005. it's nothing more than accounting tricks.
And A nother Thing
05-22-2005, 02:18 PM
When the County Attorney tries to bring lawsuits against the school districts which it is supposed to be representing, it doesn't help the school district budget any when they have to pay attorney fees to fight it's own lawyers, simply because the County Attorney has never heard of a Federal Law called IDEA.
Private school County Tax
05-26-2005, 08:39 PM
Thanks to Tom Suozzi many families have had to take their children out of private school because of their greatly increased County tax bills thanks to Tom Suozzi's unreasonable fiscal tax and spend policies. The additional children in the public schools add an extra financial burden to the whole school system and parents and children both are resentful that they have to be there instead of the religious schools they prefer.
Greg Peterson in 2005 - the way to go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Suoz will bankrupt Nassau
05-31-2005, 08:22 PM
Suozzi only pulled a temporary budget fix - he's leading us into bankruptcy all over again in 2006 and this time - he's raised taxes so much already that he's killed the only last resort position the County had. NOW we're really in trouble.
Vote row A - vote Greg Peterson !!!!

Not true Liar
06-01-2005, 01:00 AM
I too live in TOH and you are a liar. Not only are you a liar, you are stupid. First of all, Peterson has been in the private practice of law for 6 years, running of of LI's 8 largest law firms and has nothing to do with Kate Murray. Second of all, TOM SUOZZI has withheld from the town the county's portion of money the town is entitled too, as he's done with school programs, youth programs and other towns throughout long island, from which source things like road repair and capital projects come. It's a county responsibility the town assumes, which is why the county has to pay. When it doesn't, the work doesn't get down or the town has to lay it out and hope to get repaid. Like when TOM sold the management of 9 county parks to the town of north hempstead and he paid them $3 million dollars to undertake a responsibility that was his to do. If you're garbage collection has been "reduce", then you are the only one who has that problem and you should call and find out why they hate you.
Clavin for Comptroller

And Peterson for County Executive.
Suozzi is leading us into bankruptcy - AFTER he raised our taxes 39%.
And forced the hand
06-03-2005, 04:45 PM
Suozzi also withheld the money from the county that goes to the towns and villages to do their road repairs and capital projects so either the towns couldn't do it during Suozzi's rule or they had to lay out their own money from taxes which in some areas that Suozzi neglected, those taxes will have to go up. Suozzi picked only North Shore projects and gave those communities that money - the rest of the county be dammned. I guess that's how come his fundraising pot grew.
They want larger classes
06-10-2005, 01:38 AM
Levinson is lecturing that the classrooms should be LARGER and we should do with less teachers to save money - so each kid should get less attention instead of more, especially now with all the State pressures on them to pass exams. He's an idiot. He thinks we should do this when? Right after he hits us with an income tax and does away with our regular garbage collection. Can you say DA BRONX ???????????????

Cheap loans so what?
06-17-2005, 11:30 PM
Who says Nassau is in better shape now? The bond rating went up? So what? That means the politicians can borrow money at lower interest rates - that's all that means - because wall street has the confidence that they'll pay it back. First, the goal is not to borrow money - to pay as you go. Suozzi hasn't been able to do that. Second, the reason there's confidence is because they see how willing Suozzi is to rape the Nassau County Taxpayers to fund his special interest groups and personal projects. He can always raise taxes to pay off his loans.
Open your eyes man - Suozzi doesn't even have the money to fix a leaky roof on the jail, renovate the old courthouse (his campaign promise), or finish a 4 year old memorial in Eisenhower park and he's painting the parks with left over paint and planting half dead flowers.
The average taxpayer can't even afford to go to the beach in this County anymore, let alone breath.
Nobody is better off except the NYC rejects that Suozzi rescued. Nobody.
=======================================
NYC is better off
Do you want to hear something really, really funny? Do you know what Pete's last words were in his racist work on juvenile delinquency, Killer Kids? Well, here they are:
"It is time to move out of the city."
Gee, I guess that means that Mr. Reinharz will be coming to a neighborhood near you really soon.... Oh, I forgot, that would means he would have to pay the high real estate taxes in Nassau County that his buddies are forcing on us and he's already said he'd never move into Nassau County because the "taxes are too high".
Sure they are. We pay his salary.
Get rid of Suozzi & his NYC rejects in November.

Equity Loan survivor
06-18-2005, 09:27 PM
Because of Suozzi's enormously high tax increases I took out an equity loan. My interest rate is low because the economy is good - a partial attributor to an overall yank up to the County's financial ratings generally. If it wasn't for Suozzi's irresponsibly high taxes and his continued spend and borrow policies - I wouldn't have my own loan to deal with. The loan is a bridge between my old taxes and my new taxes - and I only hope that something happens before the equity loan gives out and I can no longer afford the monthly minimums on that either. My only hope is Greg Peterson.
I hear you brother

1998 housing costs
06-20-2005, 03:02 AM
Spiraling housing costs started in 1998 because of a class action lawsuit brought by the democrats, led by Hempstead lawyer Fred Brewington using plaintiffs from Roosevelt. The democrats claimed inequality in tax assessment. That's what the court finally agreed to while the republican led county fought like hell against it. Thanks to those democrats - everyone's tax assessments went up and will continue to go up as long as the market keeps going up every year - means higher taxes every year. Then the stupid voters blame the republicans and vote in the democrats who caused the problem and what happens? Suozzi raises taxes 20% to pay off the tax assessment refunds which nearly bankrupted the county - and guess what? He hasn't paid them off yet.
Bring back sanity - vote for Greg Peterson. It's the only hope.

06-22-2005, 03:02 PM
Okay, the class action suit was filed and it won in the courts. So, what does that tell you? Apparently, the class action suit HAD MERRIT!!! How else would you explain a decision of that significance? If something were inequitable and you were the party being harmed, wouldn't you do the same thing they did in Roosevelt? But, because the decision hurt you, you deem it unfair. And, the republican old-boy network and also much of the current day republican network which as our democratic national chairman put it (and by the way nailed it)...basicly white christians (and I am a white "christian"), screamed bloody murder and saw nothing but INEQUITY in the decision. Why oh why is that??????????????????????
Suozzi's gonna win and it's going to be a landslide. So leave. Go someplace else. There are so many red states around in the middle and southern parts of the country. See how nicely you'll fit in over there. Bye for now.
THey deserve it
06-23-2005, 04:12 AM
Look - if you drink all day and drug all night and let your house run down and don't teach your kids manners and let your schools run down - then too bad about you. You aren't overassessed because the other people have nice houses and maintain their property better - you are lazy pieces of crap that destroy neighborhoods and ruin counties and deserve to pay for the havoc you reach. Besides, those people working hard to maintain nice home in decent neigborhoods worked to increase those property values and are supporting the dungeons in the rotten neighborhoods on welfare and getting section 8 housing assistance ect. Nothing inequitably about it. You destroy your area - alla Hempstead - was beautiful - what happened? - then cry because other people who take care of their things have things worth more - you should pay the same. You get what you deserve. Stupid judge. Judges make bad decisions - nothing meritorious about it. And white christians can be idiots - you've proved it. Look at Michael Jackson, OJ Simpson and Robert Blake. You probably think they really were innocent too. Please. The re-assessment was because a bunch of liberal people who think they are "entitled" had a lucky break and that Judy Jacobs - the majority leader of the county legislator screwed up because she never appealed.
Where your money is?
06-23-2005, 08:16 PM
Compare the spending budget of the CA's office between 1999-2000 and 2000 - 2001 and now look at it. Look at the number of lawyers versus the caseload and the judgment/settlement amounts. Compare outside counsel fees, suplies, perks & training. They go outside for training - to corporate counsel and upstate ect. That's where the 20% tax increase is going - to a huge patronage staff with nothing to do and it's about time the public knows it.
After School Job
06-25-2005, 04:54 AM
Maybe the kids can get jobs after school in those industrial factories Suozzi plans on building throughout Nassau County as part of his Empire Zone Re-development plan. They'll have to start pitching in because when all these plants start cropping up with all their tax abatements and discounts - our taxes will go up up up to subsidize them - and all the little aliens that will come running after the jobs. Newsday said South Jamaica has the same "Empire Zone" Suozzi is talking about.
Energy Tax
06-27-2005, 09:30 PM
From their lip's
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to our ears, at a recant legislative public forum in our distrct, the dem legislator stated in a room full of people that the 4 1/2 tax is there and approved as a gap closing measure should revenu for sales tax fall short. It is in the budget and they will be able to activate it under their disgression. What is outragious is that it is on each and every fuel source, including fire wood, read the budget so in essence we will pay 4 1/2 for oil, 41/2 for natural gas 41/2 for electric, 4 1/2 to your local woodchuck, and so on and so on. It adds up to more then 4 1/2%
I was just woundering if Suozzi & the dream team dems in the legislator left a tax on horse manure, a viable heat producing matter, since all of their fancy friends will be suppling them with enough horse..., to get through the winter. I mean these fools think we are still living in the age of the Guttenberg Press and that Newsday is the only place that owns one.
From what I hear suozzi's only tool is that left over from Filegate from the Clinton Years, even then that was yesterdays technology, even some of us are IT experts with a fancy Palo Alto education. AHH the transparent Universe!
Accounting Tricks
07-04-2005, 12:01 AM
If Suozzi turned the county around how come we're not paying our debt, fixing our roads, and nothing was done in the parks except a coat of paint and a few plantings? Did the canadian geese fly west with all the tax and fee increases?
Mid February
07-12-2005, 02:55 AM
Wait till Suozzi's 4.25% energy tax kicks in with Lipa's utility increase in the middle of February. How many old people and poor people will freeze to death and how many working class people will have to eat rice and beans three times a week to pay their basic bills? Thanks to Suozzi's 20% property tax increase and failure to adjust to the downward grants of assessments forward for the years after the homeowner's win their assessment hearings - how many for sale signs are in your neighborhood?
Peterson for 2005. Save the County.

Selling our schools now?
07-14-2005, 02:15 AM
First he sells our land, then our parks, now our medical center. It won't be long before he sells our schools and opens them up to kids from Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx.
Dump Suozzi.
Save the County.
Suozzi and Newsday can go ahead and boast about not raising the County portion of the property tax - but that's only because they no longer have to. Property taxes go up automatically every year now as each year the assessments go up - generating more revenue for the County from the County Property Tax without Suozzi having to do it. The result is the same. Suozzi gets more and more money out of the taxpayers from property taxes every year, and spends it faster than he gets it on campaigning, retroactive benefits and perks for employees who formally worked in NYC and those that live there now.
I didn't vote for Suozzi, and I certainly don' t like some of his cronies who got these patronage positions but I do think he's doing a very good job as the Executive for the County of Nassau. My tax rate has not gone up 40% as someone previously indicated so I think they should head to the accessor and get that checked out. Nassau is on the rise because of Tom Suozzi and I look forward to watching him continue what has been a successful stint in public service. 8)
What's your address?
08-05-2005, 02:19 AM
I'd like to know why you got special treatment - you living in NYC or something?
Wouldn't be the first time there was a kickback sweetheart deal going on in the assessors office.
In fact, Borin - Suozzi's pick for chairman of the assessment review commission - ran away from NYC for just that reason. He was also in charge over there, and Suozzi hired him just before the criminal indictments came down for blackmail, kickbacks and fraud related to the inspectors and assessors in the NYC office. In charge also at the time of the Tax Cert department was Botwin - who Suozzi brought over and gave the number two job to at the County Attorney's office.
So if you got a sweetheart deal- I'd really like to know.
How much did you contribute to Suozzi?

assessments
08-10-2005, 10:29 PM
suozzi's group took the crapsuit approach to tax assessments and that's why it's so uneven and the bar they use is way overvalued to start out with - and if you think they don't play favorites sit in on a few of these hearings or talk to a few people who represent at these hearings. Even the guy representing the county at the hearings isn't from the county - he's a contract vendor with an office in suffolk and one in brooklyn or queens - not even working in nassau.
Worry later
09-02-2005, 12:58 AM
The only reason suozzi can say his budget balances is because he's putting everything of till he thinks he'll be gone and in albany. Like the 21% salary increase he just gave the jail which is already millions of dollars of overtime. The give back is what - they can work 151 hours of overtime each every month - but no more? Come on. The salary peak in 2007. We pay later when he thinks he'll be gone.
Is that why?
09-04-2005, 01:44 AM
Is that why he failed to pay the tax assessment refunds and there remains a huge deficit with the loss of the bonding in December?
that's why
09-10-2005, 01:20 AM
It's also why they won't adjust your future tax assessments when you win a hearing that the judge says your current tax assessment should be changed, which is really your past assessment by the time you get your hearing. The past is the basis for the future so obviously if the past is wrong, the future should change, but Levinson's people are too stupid to figure that out and Suozzi is hoping people eventually just get disgusted and give up.
It's also why the parks "comeback" consisted of planting some half dead plants and slapping a few coats of free paint left over from the state on park benches and how come he hasn't paid the taxes Nassau owes to the Cities who run their own transporation and repair their own streets for 4 years.
Belly Laugh
10-10-2005, 01:45 AM
It's especially funny that with all the highly paid civil servants on Suozzi's payroll, with his importation of Borin and Botwin from NYC Assessors/Corp Counsel right before the indictments for bribery and kickback of their assessors went down - that he still went ahead and used an outside consultant to represent Nassau County's tax assessments at those hearings - and the consultant has an office in NYC and an office in Suffolk and none in Nassau County. Typical Suozzi mismanagement. Get him out in 2005.
Expensive Budget
10-11-2005, 11:37 PM
If Suozzi did balance the budget he did it at the expense of the kids - he axed so much money from youth programs and juvenile cops that they are suffering so he can pay his bloated, top heavy appointees much more money than they'd ever qualify to earn in the private sector - hell - half of them wouldn't have even been interviewed for the jobs if it was anybody but Suozzi's people doing the hiring. Get Suozzi out and send his people packing.

And let's not forget that with the quadruple budget given to Lorna Goodman, a/k/a deep pocket Goodman, with the HUGE staff of "lawyers" she hired, Comptroller Levinson STILL hired an OUTSIDE agency to represent Nassau County at the small claims tax assessment hearings - and that agency has offices only in Suffolk and NYC region. !!!!!!!!!!

Signal 10 Conservatives Endorse Greg Peterson for Nassau County Executive
Nassau County, New York, October 7, 2005 – Signal 10 Conservatives, a grassroots organization of Nassau County volunteer firefighters and rescue personnel, has announced its endorsement of Gregory Peterson for Nassau County Executive.
In announcing its support of the GOP candidate, Signal 10 Conservatives explains: “Greg represents many of the values important to our members – not the least of which is his commitment to lower the taxes that prevent so many young adults and families from buying or keeping a home in Nassau County. The continued migration of young people away from our area not only negatively impacts recruitment and retention at volunteer fire departments throughout the county, but it also severely affects our local economy, as businesses find it harder to hire and keep a skilled workforce.”
Greg Peterson has held leadership positions in Nassau County since 1972, when he was the youngest Councilman ever elected to the Hempstead Town Board. He has served as Presiding Officer of the Nassau County Board of Supervisors, and as Supervisor of the Town of Hempstead. Mr. Peterson has also served as Chairman and CEO of the Nassau Regional Off Track Betting Corporation, where he was responsible for the daily operation of the most successful Public Benefit Corporation of its kind in New York State; the company produced record profits every year he served, channeling millions of much-needed dollars to Nassau County.
“Greg has a proven ability to keep expenses and spending down without sacrificing services,” continued the Signal 10 Conservatives statement. “As the chief fiscal officer of America’s largest township, he created new sources of revenue, held the line on taxes and downsized government while providing enhanced services to residents throughout the Town of Hempstead.”
To help the Peterson for Nassau County Executive campaign, Signal 10 Conservatives will show their support in such ways as displaying bumper stickers and lawn signs, as well as assisting in “get out the vote” drives designed to encourage Nassau County volunteer firefighters and EMS workers to register and vote in the November elections.

Signal 10 guys
10-21-2005, 11:00 PM
That's because signal 10 guys (and gals) are people who really care about their community and their neighbors - enough to risk their life and spend their free time in training. These are the same people who realize that Greg Peterson cares about Nassau County and the people who live here as much as they do, while Suozzi could give a fig newton less. That's why they're throwing their support behind Peterson. They care and so does he. And if you care, you'll vote for Peterson too!
And behind High Crime
10-27-2005, 11:40 PM
Don't forget Suozzi who wants to cut the patrol force down by doing away with minimum manning and decreasing the number of car posts out there. For you Nassau County tax paying civilians who do not understand - minimum manning is a binding contract between the county and the police department which designates the staffing levels for the number of police on patrol. It says there must be a certain "minimum" number of cops on the street. Maintaining this minimum level is what keeps you safe and ensures that all cops have sufficient back up. Without it ... instead of having 20 something officers riding within your precinct, there is nothing that will prevent the "powers to be" to attempt to save money and staff just 50% of those officers, hence risking your lives as well as the officers lives. Minimum manning is what your tax dollars pays for - the most cops per square mile than any other department in the nation!!! Suozzi's way around this is to try to cut the number of posts out there, by decreasing them and either doubling or tripling their respective size. He can spin this and say all posts are manned 100%, yet you will still have 50% of the cops out there. Be heard, election day is around the corner - vote for your safety, vote for change, vote for the cure, vote for Peterson for your kids' sake!
===========================
IF YOU LEAVE THIS COUNTY UP TO TOM SUOZZI TO RUN AND A COMMISSIONER THAT DOESNT CARE AND IS JUST ANOTHER PUPPET OF SUOZZI YOU MAY AS WELL CONSIDER YOURSELF LIVING IN THE CITY ALREADY. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 175 CARS NOT INCLUDING SPECIAL UNITS IN NASSAU COUNTY. NOW TAKE AWAY AT LEAST 5 CARS IN EACH PRECINCT AT NIGHT BECAUSE SOUZZI DOESNT WANT THE PAY TO GO UP IN NUMBERS.(IT WAS A PROMISE BTWN CHIEFS AND SUOZZI DURING ELECTION YEAR) EACH CAR ONLY HAS ONE OFFICER IN IT. NOW IF THERE IS A MAJOR THING LIKE AN ACCIDENT WHICH USUALLY HAPPENS AT NIGHT DUE TO DRIVERS DRINKING OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES,THATS TWO CARS AT LEAST GONE FOR QUITE A FEW HOURS DUE TO AN ARREST.NOW IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE ARREST A NIGHT THINK ABOUT ALL THE CARS THAT ARE NOT ON THE ROAD. ****THAN YOU HAVE A PERSON WHO IS SICK THEYCALL AN AMBULANCE SO NOW YOU HAVE TO SEND TWO COPS AND AN AMBULANCE. THEY ARE OUT FOR AT LEAST 45 MINS OR MORE NOT INCLUDING IF THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ARREST MADE.BETWEEN THE TOP BRASS LAYING UP CARS,AND CARS THAT ARE OUT ON ARRESTS AND WE ARE TALKING A QUIET NIGHT. YOU WILL HAVE MAYBE 6 CARS LEFT IN EACH PRECINCT TO COVER THE WHOLE PRECINCT. WHICH IS ALOT OF TERRITORY. IF ALL THE CARS IN ONE PRECINCT ARE OUT ON CALLS NOW THE OFFICERS IN OTHER PRECINCTS HAVE TO GO TO YOUR TOWN. SAY YOU LIVE IN MASSAPEQUA AND YOU HAVE SOMEONE BREAKING INTO YOUR HOUSE,IF THERE ARE NO CARS LEFT IN YOUR PRECINCT ***THEY WILL BORROW EITHER FROM BELLMORE OR FARMINGDALE OR HICKSVILLE THINK ABOUT HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE THAT OFFICER TO GET TO YOUR HOUSE. SCARY ISNT IT????? THAN SUOZZI HAS THE NERVE TO SAY GARY DELARABA IS A BLOWHARD!!!!! NOT AT ALL. SO IF I WERE YOU AND SOMETHING HAPPENS ASK FROM WHERE THE CAR CAME FROM AND HOW LONG IT TOOK THEM TO GET THERE THE NUMBERS WILL SHOW THAT SUOZZI IS A LYING FOOL THAT DONT CARE A DAMN ABOUT HIS CITIZENS OF NASSAU COUNTY

Today’s Newsday just posted this article. Pataki offered manpower to Nassau County to assist in catching the home Invaders, and Suozzi puppet Lawrence refuses...He should step down immediately
If he is not in favor of catching the criminals because it affects the election, he is not a cop, he is a political hack...

Who's that standing there with the knife in his back? A Suozzi supporter. When Suozzi says - support me - I've got your back - you'll rise up with me - that's what he means. Just don't bend over because Suozzi isn't too particular where he thrusts that knife of his.
Vote for Peterson. He's really got your back!
This is your government

Don't forget about the bond Suozzi floated last election to raise money for the can of paint and dead flowers he planted in the parks so Newsday could claim he "turned the parks around". First of all, they aren't much different now than they were 4 years ago. We have eyes and ears if not brains and can easily see that bit of brainwashing for the lie that it is. Second of all, Suozzi didn't use the high taxes and increased fees for regular maintainance and repairs. He floated a $3 million bond - allegedly for that purpose - and probably used it to break a wall at the Old Courthouse (and leave it like that) to get yet another Newsday photo op - among others. We'll be paying for that re-painted park bench for years and years to come. And now he and Newsday want you to vote yes for the State to float yet another bond to repair the roadways. Why should we? We pay more than enough taxes and if the politicians in charge can't figure out how to cut spending to carry ordinary repairs with our tax money - they need to be voted down. Suozzi is incapable of cutting spending. He needs to be voted down on November 8th. Vote no to Suozzi and vote no to proposition 2. Let's give them a message - we're fed-up with high taxes and the high cost of living here and we are putting our foot down. Tell them to cut patronage, cut port, cut special interests and learn how to use our money in a fiscally responsible way
