Topic: Consolidation of local government

The number one issue facing Long Islanders is the oppressive level of taxation by all levels of government. One of the cost factors is the size of government. One area in particular is special taxing districts. Long Island has hundreds of these districts which provide various municipal services such as sanitation, water, sewer, fire protection and other related services. The question is, “What can be done to reduce local taxes?”

In an effort to address this specific issue, Residents for Efficient Special Districts have advocated for several reforms which they believe will lead to efficiency, transparency, and accountability resulting in lower taxes. One particular reform that was signed into law allows voters to initiate a referendum to consolidate the various layers of government. Pat Nicolosi will provide an update on this important issue. If you are concerned about taxes, please come and join us for this interesting presentation.
