Optimism

After much of the morning was taken up by other topics, the Nassau County legislator agreed to discuss the referendum vote that would be set for May 31st.  Both Democrats and Republicans seemed to agree that the project deserved to be put in front of the people of Nassau County.  The referendum sounds like it is expected to pass.

The town would then vote on Aug 1st for a $400 million bond to build the new areneer (little joke there) arena.  If it comes to pass, it would be the chance to save a stagnant economy by not only investing in themselves, but in a premiere sports destination for all of Long Island. 

Build it now.
