I honestlyh believe this entire charade was orchestrated by Mangano to find someone to actually apply the layoffs since they were prohibited by contract in addtion to placing the blame on NIFA.
He suggested to many emergency solutions in the last year, casinos, demanding union givebacks, sales tax increases, sale of leases at Mitchell Field to turn around and suddenly state the budget is balanced. One minute he is stating he partnering with NIFA and then he is suing them. Foye knew this was just a waste of money at taxpayer expense to benefit Mangano and Mondell and that's when he had enough.
I understand that Suozzi also borrowed money for to pay for over assessments but that still doesn't make financials sense. They already know they are over assessing property around $100M so it should be in the budget each year.
This is Mangano's new course, blame NIFA for the layoffs because the budget was balanced.
I get it, Mr. Mangano. Public sector workers are ripping off the taxpayer, EXCEPT when it's your lil brother, Rob. In his case, you just find him a public sector job, change the job description so he PERFECTLY and uniquely qualifies for it, and then give him a $15k raise from the taxpayer kitty. What a hypocrite! (Oyster Bay gives Mangano's Brother a Job - Newsday March 21, 2011).
Sorry, I can't believe you have taxpayers' interests in mind after reading that article. If you really believed what you say then TELL YOUR BROTHER TO GET A JOB IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR!

Do any Mangano's, Mondello's, Murray's or D'Amatos work anywhere outside of Nassau County Government?? The list seems almost endless. It's bad enought that enough that they are all on the payroll but then you have Modello grabbing a piece for his mansion and his offspring taking TOB property.
get rid of all the 'barganing' for PUBLIC workers...why should any PUBLIC worker have a 'no-lay-off' clause in a union thugery 'contract'
doesnt matter whether you are talking about Nassau county, or the state of Wisconsin
Why are PUBLIC workers not entitled to labor protections? Whose interest do you think it serves to limit workers' rights? What do you think will happen if PUBLIC workers no longer have the right to bargain? What do you think will happen to the quality of public services?

They should not be entitled to bargain on both sides of the aisle (their unions bargaining with their bought and paid for politicians). The only way to get rid of this is to get rid of public sector unions and collective bargaining. NOBODY said that they are not entitled to all of the same labor protections as everyone else gets by law.

In this case, the taxpayers' interest is served if the public sector unions' "Heads We Win; Tails the Taxpayers Lose" bargaining coin is taken away.

What do you think of the quality in the private sector? Has that been destroyed because of a lack of trade unions? If they don't like it, they can quit their public sector job and get what they consider a better job elsewhere. They will be easily replaced. The economy has changed and holding your hands over your ears and squeezing your eyes shut and saying, "La la la I can't hear you about the economy!" is not going to work forever for the union members who want to remain firmly stuck in the past.
