I want to speak this evening about where we are, a bit about how we got here, and, most importantly, where we’re going. I think a lot of voters woke up on the day after the 2009 election both shocked and surprised. I’m pretty sure that Ed Mangano woke up that morning feeling the same way. I know I did.
But it’s about a year and a half later and now the voters are getting to see the real consequences of their vote that Tuesday in November.

Today, early details emerged of County Executive Ed Mangano’s aggressive plan to reform Nassau’s troubled assessment system. Under the Mangano plan, overtaxed and overassessed homeowners would be encouraged to make improvements to their homes, but just forget to report these improvements or to pay any additional taxes on them.
