(MINEOLA, N.Y.) – On Wednesday, Oct. 30, the Nassau County Legislature voted along party lines to approve Nassau County Executive Bruce A. Blakeman’s proposed FY 25 budget.
Following this morning’s vote, Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D – Glen Cove) issued the following statement:
“This marks the third consecutive budget in which County Executive Blakeman has broken his promise to cut taxes and fees in Nassau County, further eroding trust in his leadership, and his reliance on reserves and budgetary sleight of hand is unsustainable and reckless,” Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D – Glen Cove) said. “The residents of Nassau County deserve a budget that is more than a one-time fix and a temporary Band-Aid for a chronic problem. We demand a comprehensive and transparent financial strategy that secures long-term stability and genuinely delivers on the promises that have been made to taxpayers.”
