Local Residents Vow to Keep Our Elected Officials in Check
Come down to the Nassau County Legislature and get involved in governmental procedure - it's fun, educational and, at times, quite disturbing to see our government in action. Make your representative do their job and actually represent you (That means you, Legislator Toback).
If you can not make it to legislative meetings then reach out to your local elected officials by writing a letter or contacting them via telephone or email and tell them that you are a concerned resident against the increase of sewage into the bay and the destruction of our environment. Tell them to stop dumping the treated sewage effluent into Reynolds Channel and seek out funding for an ocean outfall pipe. Tell the county to clean up the plant and reduce the smell. Speak your mind and stand up for your community. Let Nassau County know: Don't Dump on Bay Park!
All Legislative Meetings are held at:
THEODORE ROOSEVELT EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE BUILDING, LEGISLATIVE CHAMBER
~ 1550 FRANKLIN AVE., MINEOLA, NEW YORK 11501 ~

A very real solution to help restore the health of the marine environment of the South Shore Bay and quality of life for the local communities is very simple -
EXTEND THE OUTFALL PIPE FROM REYNOLDS CHANNEL 2 MILES OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN!
Nassau County government has failed its residents by not building an ocean outfall pipe to stop the effluent from the Bay Park Plant being dumped into Reynolds Channel. The county has failed their residents by not trying to seek out and procure the money through state and federal grants needed to pay the supposed $200 to $300 million dollar price tag attached to installing such a pipe. The county has failed their residents by trying to ram a $150 million environmental bond, with $50 million allocated for the design and study of an ocean outfall pipe from the Bay Park Plant, down our throats instead of doing it the right way as part of the county's regular capitol budget. The Green Bay Parkers believe the time to build an outfall pipe that extends from Reynolds Channel 2 miles into the Atlantic Ocean is now. We all know this must be done, but it seems only local residents realize it must be done the right way. Before it's too late!
WE NEED TO SAVE THE BAY FROM DESTRUCTION!
