Mangano’s Third Consecutive No-Property Tax Hike Budget Approved by Legislature Restricts Spending While Delivering Essential Services

For the third year in a row, Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano’s No-Property Tax Increase Budget was passed by the County Legislature. The budget restricts spending for a second consecutive year while continuing to deliver essential services for residents. Aggressive fiscal management and a continued commitment to spending cuts is evident as County Executive Mangano and the Republican Legislative Caucus have cut over $290 million in spending from Nassau’s budget since 2009.

It’s no secret that Nassau County is going through a rough fiscal period. The county faces an estimated $310 million deficit in 2012. County Executive Ed Mangano is still paying for the previous administrations’ unaffordable labor contracts, the assessment system is broken and the global recession has hit everyone, including Nassau County.

Newsday: Salaries Contributing to Mangano’s Budget Woes

The biggest fiscal challenge facing Nassau County according to Newsday? Contractual union raises coming due to employees, and significantly higher pension and health insurance costs for 2012. These generous contracts and benefits were negotiated by the former County Executive, and pose a $115 million hurdle for Nassau in 2012 alone.

Currently in Nassau, civilian employees earn an average compensation of $121,000 including salary and fringe benefits, while law enforcement earns an average of $180,000 annually in compensation.
