Question of the Day: How Will You Vote on Aug. 1?

Sound off on the daily hot topic.

Posted by Matthew Hogan (Editor), July 27, 2011 at 01:04 pm

This Monday, Aug. 1, is the day everyone has been talking about since Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano partnered with New York Islanders owner Charles Wang and Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray back in May to announce the plans for a new Nassau Coliseum.

Monday's referendum vote will essentially decide the fate of the Islanders on Long Island, as well as the immediate future of taxes in Nassau County.

With the vote just around the corner we want to know, how will you vote on Monday?

So Lu Scala never had any children so it might be safe to say you have never been to a PTA meeting…Read More or a School Board meeting or a budget presentation so then you would have no idea how the money is spent good or bad. I'm sorry that your neighbors make more than you but like anything else you get what you pay for there are educational requirements for teaching and administration jobs, I'm sure you would be happy if all the school personnel could be replaced by minimum wage earners or better yet we could close all the schools after all you have been out of school for 40 years so you don't need them anymore, but thats not how it works. Why is always the uninformed that speak loudest and longest?

A bit of a surprise considering kids come home with a supply list a mile long (and average $40-$75).
