Oshkosh Corporation designs and builds the world's toughest specialty trucks and truck bodies and access equipment by working shoulder-to-shoulder with the people who use them. So the municipalities cut deals with Oshkosh and the people involved in the purchase get kickbacks! LOOK AT HOW MUCH YOUR LOCAL FIREHOUSE HAS BOUGHT AND WASTES!
Pierce® engineers and builds a full line of pumpers, tankers, rescues, aerials, homeland security and wildland fire trucks. This brand is considered the best in the industry because Pierce® apparatus perform like no other.
MANGANO just gave the State of the County address for NASSAU! He bragged about a STINKING 20 MILLION dollar CUT in Police Costs! THAT IS NOTHING! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE ASAP! If you do not know County Finances...HE PROBABLY FOOLED YOU INTO THINKING EVERYTHING IS OK!>>>IT IS NOT!
BEWARE OF THE NEW LONG ISLAND SCAM!!! TOO MUCH LIBRARY DOING TOO MANY THINGS NOT RELATED TO THE PURPOSE OF A LIBRARY! IT IS BECOMING A WASTEFUL SOCIAL SERVICE ENTITY! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF SOME OF THE NEW LIBRARIES! IT IS ANOTHER CANCER THAT IS TOO LARGE AND WILL HAVE LARGE LEGACY COSTS!
I would love to know the 'Standard Kickback' to the people that consummate the purchase of Heavy Rescue Trucks for the Fire Departments on Long Island.
Everywhere you turn here someone is stealing from you and the bill is padded. That is why it is so hard to live on Long Island.
@freakyandrew1 He is over the top & insane with his manufactured terrorism and cronies that keep him nice and comfortable. His business is to sell Homeland Security. The real terrorists are the Financial Terrorists that run Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Chase and the owners of the Federal Reserve. No dis to Irish Americans but King is a stereotype Shanty Irish Windbag! How do morons like that get into power? The answer is that they have the charm of Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao!
I forgot to mention in my last post the combined effects of outsourcing,an educational system that is failing to educate to the standards of our global competitors and,a culture that values entertainment,self-indulgence,spending as opposed to learning,hard work and sacrifice.Why do the Germans have lower unemployment,faster growth rates and lower debt to GDP ratios(with higher energy costs) than we do.What should we be doing differently and do we have the courage to change our ways
@oldnuwaver My mother and her parents were from North Germany. They came here after the Weimar Republic collapsed thanks to the Balfour Declaration, the Treaty of Versailles and the Fucking British Ruling class in bed with the U.S. They worked smart, frugal, hard and happy from morning till night. Lots of luck getting other cultures to make one pot of soup to last the whole week in order to save money. My grandfather would walk miles to save money from the subway. Britain was evil!
You can always move off Long Island.Unfortunately,this video also applies to the
United States.In a few short years the national debt will equal the G.D.P.How long will other countries finance our governments and our citizens inability to control
spending?California has a 28 billion dollar deficit,New york 9.5 billion.This country is already in serious trouble,and not just Long Island.

The clock is ticking in the town of Babylon. Steve Bellone wants to revitalize Wyandanch in a depression. They tried this with Hempstead in the seventies......during a lesser major global downturn. It was a disaster. (The Hempstead Revitalization Program) The million dollar mall was removed just after it was built. Hempstead High had to have the windows replaced with brick due to vandalism. You can not make Palm Beach out of the Bowery. You are a nice guy Steve but get real!
This is a very powerful video and one that needs to be watched by every 18-34 year old Long Islander. Know that us oldtimers are trying to fight to make our beautiful Island a place the next generation can enjoy what we enjoyed growing up, but we are losing the battle. Join us.

Im upset this video dident touch on the useless and overpaid Suffolk County Police. When it costs $2,000,000,000 to hire 200 cops you know something is very, very wrong.
Not taking a political position here but the stats represented in the video preceed Obama's presidency. Also not saying it's going to improve under the current administration. LI's slide has been long-term and will take vision and long-term solutions to reverse it.
Meanwhile, all the govn't officials and head of police on Long Island give themselves massive pay raises each year... Its corruption and greed by those held un-accountable.
Davefingers, I too moved from LI to SoFL. I have to agree with you but would like to compare the numbers. Northerners think this place is 'paradise' since we get to wear shorts in Jan. It was no paradise before this recession and certainly is not now,
Nicely done. Didn't attack public workers or anyone for that fact. Just stated the point. Nicely done.

Long Island is done for.
Taxes are unrealistic
True bricks and mortar anchor businesses (i.e. Grumman) are gone
Too many pockets of low income/high crime areas
It's a hour and a half by car to get to Huntington from NYC
For what?
Living in NE Queens now. Perfect.
