Statement From County Executive Edward P. Mangano On Governor Cuomo’s Pension Reform

“Pension costs have driven up property taxes in Nassau County and across New York State, hurting businesses and making families unable to afford to live here. We face extraordinary fiscal challenges in communities across the state and the best thing state government could have done was pass the Governor’s pension reform plan. I commend Governor Cuomo for his leadership. It is critically important to put our state on the path to fiscal health for decades to come, and the Governor and Senate Majority Leader Skelos have done just that by working in a bipartisan and reasonable manner.”
