Over 1500 Nassau/Suffolk county employees earn over $200,000 per year.......let that sink in.
If it was up to me we would abolish counties and just have states and towns. Besides the 1500 tax parasites who would care if the useless entities called Nassau and Suffolk counties just disbanded and disappeared ?
Every town town now has more people then counties had when they were invented. Counties are obsolete because towns all have enough people now.
Or maybe even better just get rid of the greatest collection of scum the earth has ever seen, that entity called "The State Of New York" and make each county like its own state.
How would you restructure the police then? Right now they are county-based.
What about county road maintenance? You've got more than 400 miles of County roads in Suffolk alone, and most of them go through more than just one town. If you devolve responsibility for maintenance and lighting to each town the road passes throuh, the first thing that will happen is that the Town taxes jump because they'll have to hire more people. You might eliminate a layer of bureaucracy but would it really save the average person any money?

It's almost all cops and almost all OT. Has nothing to do with "counties," it's the stranglehold the cop and teacher unions have on LI. A couple hundred threads on here about it already.

On a local level theoretically people have more control of whats going on. Waste like above can be cut.

No doubt 100s of threads as no one like the stranglehold the parasite class has on LI but I think my abolish the county level idea is original.
Towns have become so big that counties are obsolete.

Can't abolish legal contracts, protected in the state constitution and locked in by Triborough Amendment to the Taylor Law. Short of re-writing the constitution, and the Con-Con just failed by a landslide. We get what we deserve.
We already have River Head South Hampton police , just copy that structure for the remaining towns.
We could cut their numbers in half if we stopped the war on fun and just policed like we did pre 1990. It was not until the 90s the public became the enemy.
Like the latest from NJ, beating that woman on the beach who defied police state America by drinking at the beach. Who cares if young people drink at the beach ? We did it without any hassle what so ever at their age. We did it and now our generation allows police to harass them ? Hypocritical.
Amerika where we beat down 20 year old women if we suspect alcohol consumption. Disgusting what we have become.

America, "land of the free" but 20 year olds can't buy alcohol (but can be executed)
I've been half sarcastically throwing the communism thing around for years.
Eye rolls and conspiracy nut responses.
Thing is, it's actually happening. Every day we lose a slice of freedom.
Every single day some new law is created that takes away freedom.
People are just too dumb or too wrapped up in their own little bubble to take notice or care.
