Ed, thank you for your service.
Sen. Kemp Hannon calls upon the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey to immediately undertake the study to "safely and sensibly" address airplane noise. As warmer weather approaches residents are quickly reminded of a nuisance from above all too fam

aircraft noise pollution has exponentially increased over Port. we all have to say something to ourRead More Elected Officials as the public has done in Queens and has gotten results. We are further from the airports and the planes fly over our homes at 2000 feet or less. how many of you hear and see planes all day and at night?

FYI Dina, Ferrara and Gross.. who you are running with... aren't lawyers either. Are youRead More disqualifying them?
John Rennhack May 24, 2013 at 03:33 pm
Is this a joke?? ... ""Judi has absolutely no experience in town government.." YouRead More mean like your ONE YEAR as a councilwoman??? Holeee Cripes! As opposed to FIVE YEARS as a Legislator, SIXTEEN YEARS on the school board and working for an Assemblyman. Yeah, Dina has WAAAAAY more experience. Oh and "She's not a lawyer" Isn't it good that it's not just lawyers who get elected?? And Dina is a DIVORCE attorney. That's a whole lotta legislative experience right there.

Really? Being a divorce lawyer is a prerequisite for serving in town government? WHO KNEW?

I hope the closing is only temporary. I purchased milk and other items from Dairy Barn for manyRead More years. Always got good quality products. Never had a problem.

With the loss of "D-Barn", the lack of a drive-through convenience store creates a voidRead More worth filling.

There was very little publicity about the budget this year. I was disappointed that the increase wasRead More over 3.5 percent. We still haven't addressed the salary issues and maybe we never will. Until the salary and benefit package is decreased, there will never be a reduction in the cost of education in Port Washinton.
NYB May 23, 2013 at 03:33 pm
What does it matter? No matter what you do, the budget increase will pass. Just empty your pocketsRead More and move on.

Historically, that was a problem with "NO" voters...

if we are going to sell off our 40 spot lot why not advocate for the LIRR to chip in and helpRead More building the 2 or 3 story parking lot on Haven? with more trains and more population we need more parking. we are fooling ourselves that this is not a "Hicksville" type train station. we are a main hub and it needs a substantial parking lot that will help commuter parking and help retail parking in the main lots off of main street. anyone who does not want that parking lot built needs to really ask themselves why not. if we can build a new car wash on a main cut through street for no reason we can get this done with the same traffic nightmares!!! BTW during construction which im sure will take at least a year. where will those people park? in the other lots, so us who take the 808 train will get screwed bc we will not have a place to park now.
Nassau Taxpayer May 23, 2013 at 12:52 pm
Good spot for a multi-story municipal/LIRR garage, given the height of terrain behind it.
Bob May 20, 2013 at 06:28 pm
I agree. This lot should be open all the time. Maybe there is a potential liability issue butRead More let's see if it can be worked out.
