Islip Town Hall meeting Councilman Christopher Bodkin is asleep.

When Supervisor Nolan (D) and councilman Christopher Bodkin (D) and their allies that sit on the town board were asked by fellow councilman Steve Flotteron (R) to take a small pay cut and to contribute to their health insurance cost, THEY SAID "NO" Christopher Bodkin was just about asleep. They did this by having no other board member second the motions that he raised in the video (Resolution 19, 20 and 21). Members of the Conservative Society for Action including my self attended the Islip Town Board meeting on October 14, 2009.

Steve Flotteron feels high-level town employees should share in the burden of a tough economy. He presented three resolutions: 1) High-paid officials should accept a temporary 10% cut in salary; 2) High-paid employees should contribute 15% of their cost of health insurance; and 3) Recent raises for high-paid officials should be rolled back.

The three resolutions were defeated because NO other town board member would even second the motions. In short, Islip Town will balance the budget on the backs of their lowest-paid employees (regular people just like me and you) while giving out raises to high-level officials.

If this wasn't bad enough the town is hiring approximately 40 new employees and is un-willing to reposition the ones that are getting cut. It is believed that these 40 new employees are politically connected to Christopher Bodkin as well as Phil Nolan (Town Supervisor) and this is a means for them to provide their people with those cushy jobs that we as Tax payers finance. This is just example of those in control of the Town of Islip mismanaging the government and abusing their positions.

Just watch Christopher Bodkin in the video he is practically sleeping through it. Steve Flotteron is the only member of the Town of Islip Board that actually opens his mouth to try to assist the people of Islip.

Reelect Steve Flotteron (steveflotteron.com) and help get Trish Bergin elected (trishbergin.com) for Islip Council this November 3, 2009

FYI, the "Concerned Citizen" who speaks for his father in the video is me, Shaun Coppola. For everyone's information, in the end Phil Nolan and his administration did lay off approx. 30-40 people one of which was my father. However, through the combined efforts of Councilman Steve Flotteron and Counilwoman Trish Bergin some of those who were laid off, including my father, were given positions on the administration of Mr. Flotteron and Mrs. Bergin. I can not thank them enough for their efforts!
