Kennedy: Bellone Refuses to Give Back $30 Million That Was Illegally Taken
|
|
|
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. As an example, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone – who lost his legal battle with the Pine Barrens Society twice already – is once again appealing a recent Appellate Court decision in an effort to stall repayment of $30 million to the county's Drinking Water Protection Program. John M. Kennedy, Candidate, Suffolk County Executive, points out that, not only has Mr. Bellone refused to pay back the money that could be used to protect Suffolk's water quality, on top of it, he continues to waste taxpayer money by hiring an outside law firm to take up the case, a pattern that has led to spiraling legal costs under his administration.

Long Island Advance Reports on Beach Closures Caused by Bellone
The Long Island Advance covered the August 1 press conference that Mr. Kennedy held at Corey Beach in Blue Point to explain how Steve Bellone's fiscal mismanagement has resulted in the closures of Suffolk's beaches. "He has been diverting that quarter-percent funding that is dedicated specifically to protecting the groundwater, the aquifer and to do capital projects," Mr. Kennedy said. "And he is using it to cover payroll. He is using it to pay utilities. He is using it to run government and, in fact, is violating what the directive is supposed to be."
