A MESSAGE FROM JOHN KENNEDY
|
|
|
We are three months away from Election Day. This election will be especially important for Suffolk residents, who have endured eight years of high taxes, hidden fees, bond rating downgrades and fiscal mismanagement. This is why I need your help at this important time. I cannot do it alone. Together, we can #SaveSuffolk.

John Kennedy Says Bellone's Fiscal Mismanagement Caused Closure of Suffolk's Beaches
|
|
|
Standing at the recently closed Corey Beach, Suffolk County Executive Candidate John Kennedy says fiscal mismanagement by the Bellone administration has led to the closure of many Suffolk beaches. Mr. Kennedy was joined by Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine and Brookhaven Town Councilman Neil Foley at the popular Blue Point beach. Mr. Kennedy pointed out that Steve Bellone, the current County Executive, took tens of millions of dollars from the Drinking Water Protection Program — much of which was supposed to go towards mitigating runoff into our waterways — and used it to plug holes in his budget.
