SUMMARY:Nassau Legislator\, Roger Corbin\, School Consolidation
DESCRIPTION: Members and friends\n\n\nToday’s speaker was Roger Corbin\, Majority leader in the Nassau County Legislature. His focus was on the cost and complexity of our many taxing districts. His perms is that leads to duplication of departments and services. \n \nAccording to Corbin\, the city of Great Neck has six police departments\, and none of them have the resources to properly investigate a serious crime. Therefore they turn over those crimes to the Nassau County Police. There are too many school districts\, with each of them having an overburden of management personnel. He cited many other examples including sanitary districts\, fire districts etc.\n \nHe is anti ‘big box.” Corbin says these big box stores bleed the economic life out of the downtown areas. He gave the example of Steinway Street in Queens as a functioning business district. People in the area are near the stores they need to visit. Money tends to recalculate locally and feed back to the indigenous stores.\n \nMr. Corbin would like to see tax revenues distributed countywide instead of the way it is used now. He gave an example of the large tax revenues that are collected in and around the Roosevelt Mall\, and most of it does not go to Westbury\, and Westbury suffers.\n \nThere are islands of poor districts that have very little commercial tax revenues while neighboring areas have an embarrassment of riches. Roosevelt was given as an example of that. In the case of Roosevelt there should be no school district at all\, according to Corbin. Roosevelt is only one mile square\, and could easily transport the students from that locale to the surrounding schools. Roger is not shy about telling you that the racial factor is the reason that does not happen. \n \nI pointed out the politics of his proposals are difficult\, but his attitudes. “Do what Reagan did\, take it to the people.” Moving his agenda along will be difficult\, but he is energetic and I wish him luck.\n \nAction Item. LIMBA would like to see the proposal that addresses transportation issues passed. This proposal will\, I believe be good for Long Island \n \nNext week there will be no meeting because of Veterans Day. \nHave a nice weekend.\nErnie Fazio

SUMMARY:Sarah Lansdale Exec Dir\, Sustainable Long Island
DESCRIPTION:Members and friendsThis morning’s speaker\, Sarah Lansdale was a font of good information. Sarah is the Executive Director of Sustainable Long Island. This conscientious veteran of the Peace Corp took us through several scenarios where SLI has had an impact. \nIn New Castle Sustainable Long Island engaged the community and asked what they thought they needed. The concessus of need was that a pharmacy\, a bank\, and a supermarket would be most important. SLI put out a request for proposals. They were pleasantly surprised by the number of proposals that were received. Which makes you wonder why the private sector needs to be goaded into participation in the first place. Perhaps they just needed a catalyst like SLI to make things happen. \nThe Port Washington peninsula has six mayors. In an atmosphere where the NIMBY phenomenon is such an impediment to getting anything done\, SLI was able to move the community to action. Ms. Lansdale\, and Sustainable Long Island’s approach is to gather the players and ask them what they think should be done. After getting the interested parties to agree on a plan of their making\, it is a lot easier to move to the action plan. SLI has funds and expertise to begin the plan. \nIn Wyandanch the main road is Straight Path. This road has had a terrible record pedestrian deaths. In addition it is an area in disrepair and other problems stemming from being a low income minority area. SLI went into that area and tried to identify the core of concerned citizens and found that there was no identifiable group. Their first chore was to bring out those citizens that would speak for the community. That’s what they did\, knowing any solution that did not come from respected members of that area would go nowhere. \nSustainable Long Island has also been helpful in identifying brownfields.. There are 68 of them in Nassau and Suffolk. Where a developer can show a new and economically important use for an identified brownfield\, Sustainable Long Island can provide the remedial funds. Sarah is an excellent spokesperson for a worthwhile organization. \n### December 9th Our Holiday Party will be held at the regular time. We want to book this in advance because it has been a sellout in the past. The entertainment has been topnotch in the past and will be again this year. Hold the date. Previously I sent out a message saying the time would be changed. We are changing that back to the same time 8:30AM. This will be a full breakfast and the gate fee is $30 for members and non-members. This event sells out every year so make your reservations early \nWe are planning on having four sponsors for this event\, with banners displayed. We have three sponsorships signed and one available. \nPlease bring an unwrapped toy for the Christmas Magic effort. \nNext week I’ll write my Thanksgiving thoughts\, meanwhile\, have a nice weekend.
