Fairfax County is very similar to Nassau in many ways.

As far as long term stability its something we probably need on Long Island, bit its not something those in the wealthier districts would go for.

Heaven forbid. There's nothing like some good ol' class warfare to keep a bad system running.

Change from the current system would be very difficult but I see severe problems down the line by continuing with the present system and not just the cost. You have a large disparity in wealth in different communities, Syosset, Manhassett vs Wyandanch, Roosevelt and we are not putting the best resources where they are needed the most, not to mention the gross mismangement of some of the poorer districts.

There is great resistance with districts that are very similar in nature and greater where there is a disparity. Too much drama is being made out of something that would benefit everyone.
