Let us begin 2013 optimistic about our future here in the Fifth Legislative District and for the possibility that we have to shape our hopes into reality during this next year. In my first year as your Suffolk County Legislator we faced many great challenges, but worked together to overcome these obstacles and put our County on a path to economic stability and recovery from natural disaster.

As I begin this second year of my term, I am committed to building upon the accomplishments we achieved in 2012 to help keep Suffolk moving forward. Last year we were able to: 

    • Close a multiyear $530 Million budget shortfall; 
    • Allow police to carry opiate antidotes, which helped to save over 40 lives in 2012; 
    • Prohibit toxic hydofracking wastewater from coming to Suffolk County; 
    • Increase transparency in the legislative process by posting audio recordings of meetings; 
    • Adopt a 2013 operating budget below the New York State tax cap; 
    • Develop online firefighter training courses which will help make serving easier for volunteers and reduce costs for the County; 
    • Establish a memorial arbor program in County Parks ;

and so much more.

In 2013, I look forward to continuing the work of safeguarding public safety and our environment while protecting you the taxpayer. With your guidance, I know that the promise of tomorrow will be founded in the work of today.

 

Best Wishes,

Suffolk County Legislator
Fifth District

Arrowhead Students Prove You Can Influence City Hall Legislator Hahn recently visited the Arrowhead Elementary School classroom of Ms. Maffia to personally thank students there for sharing their thoughts on the issue of hydrofracking. The messages were delivered to Legislator Hahn at the same time the Legislature was considering a bill that she sponsored to prohibit the acceptance of hyrofracking waste water at Suffolk County sewage treatment facilities.
