Affordability

• We pay some of the highest taxes in the entire country, courtesy of a string of aggressive tax hikes from 2014-2017 made by Republicans that were never reduced in a meaningful capacity.

• In addition to the 4.3% tax increase last year, we have subversive tax increases in the form of town amenities increasing in price (parking & beach passes).

• During periods of uncertainly and climbing costs of living, the Town of Oyster Bay should be doing everything in its power to put money in your pocket and not push out residents.

Representation

• There is currently a monopoly on politics in the Town of Oyster Bay held by the Republican Party since the 1990s.

• A considerable amount of the people outside of the main political hubs are suffering from a lack of representation .

Environmental and Water Concerns

• Delays on addressing Liberty Water have allowed residences to be charged ridiculously more than their neighbors, while the price of remedying the problem has only increased.

• Concerns over Commander Oil tankers in Oyster Bay, and lasting contaminants from previous land uses, need to be taken seriously to ensure the health of the harbor and purity of the water.
