Nassau County Budget and Four Year Plan

[Theodore Roosevelt]

I'm interested in hearing any opinions on the new 2.4 billion dollar county budget. It has projected out year deficits that are enourmous. Do you want to raise taxes, cut programs, or postpone action for another year? :?:

Fire city hacks

Outyear deficits have been reduced. They are lower than the projections from APril. Continued progress.

The county just lost a lag payroll lawsuit vs. correction officers. We'll see how much the punitive damages are. The ironic part of it is when they illegally decided to lag, the county was in a better financial position. Now, they can't afford it. That 'll teach Suozzi to interfere in union elections.

works for the county-did he see the budget>?

Only if dummies could talk.

[basser]

the budget is as phony as a three dollar bill , suozzi needed a no tax increase budget for his run for governor-now he wants the leg to do the right thing-something he and his budget guy , mark young, can't or won't do---

Read where he's anticipating savings before you count your chickens there. Gulotta might have counted on sales tax too much, but Suozzi is counting on union givebacks that aren't going to happen.

Isnt he from Brooklyn? Connected To Schumer?

Hate to tell you but I'm pretty sure the lag payroll was Gulotta's baby, not Suozzi's. 1999 was the year.

Suozzi is an idiot! He is trying to run Nassau like Bloomberg. Treating civil workers like slaves and bowing to corporations.

Hate to tell you, the correction officers got illegally lagged by Suozzi in September 2003. One month before union elections. Suozzi suceeded in getting the union president out, with the help of Dave Chauvin, and got their boy in. We've been paying the price ever since. This is sweet revenge.

Your 100% correct, the lag payroll was enacted during the Gulotta administration.

You want to see my paychecks? The correction officers got illegally lagged in 2003. The other unions were legally lagged in 1999. Whats so hard to understand?

Coirrection Officers AGREED to be lagged by the signing of the shoa president in 1999. It was agreed then by the other unions to give CO's a break and wait until they had a contract before they were lagged. Then, as per the agreement signed by shoa president Mike Adams, they were lagged.

What part don't you understand?

[buzzem]

The PBA never agreeded to a lag it was forced upon us, we were waiting for your lawsuit to be settled so the arbitrator can make a ruling

[guestss]

keep up the fight!

It's time for the county to give back the money.

Get the pd trolls off the civilian boards!

Mr. Suozzi, you illegally lagged the c.o.'s in 2003, pay us back now!!
You have dragged this lawsuit out for two years, pay us back now!! 9% interest for two years is not enough , but it'll do.

:shock:

[pay up dope]

pay up tommy-boy the clock is ticking

bump

[Alexander Hamilton]

If the budget is out of balance by three percent each year, should the county raise taxes, cut programs, trim staff, sell county assets, or put it off for another couple of years.............................................

Maybe we can merge with suffolk

Back pay in Nassau ordered

Nassau County must repay the 1,100-member Sheriff Officers Association $3 million because it improperly imposed a payroll lag three years ago, a federal judge has ruled.

U.S. Eastern District Judge Arthur Spatt sided with the union in its lawsuit against County Executive Thomas Suozzi, saying the county violated members' rights in attempting to defer 10 days of pay for each correction officer over the course of 10 pay periods. The money was to be paid to officers when they left their jobs.

Spatt gave Nassau 60 days to repay the money.

"It's always been our contention that Suozzi violated our rights," said Brian Sullivan, first vice president of the union. "He unilaterally decided they were going to take this money from us ... In essence, they stole our pay."

The case dates to December 1999, when the county, citing fiscal concerns, gave the correction officers' union and four other unions an ultimatum: agree to a payroll lag or face layoffs. But ShOA never ratified the payroll lag, and it was not in its 2001 collective bargaining agreement.

In 2003, the county told the union that it planned to implement the payroll lag in accordance with the 1999 agreement. The union filed a lawsuit in State Supreme Court; a short time later, the case was moved to the federal court, which made its decision on Sept. 15.

"The County acted unilaterally and on its own initiative, without providing the ShOA with an opportunity to be heard," Spatt said in his ruling. "This action was both an impermissible imposition of a new term of employment, and unconstitutionally deprived the members of ShOA of two-weeks of their salary."

I rest my case , jerkoffs.
