If Dean Skelos appointed a REAL ENGINEER instead of a dietician (Suzette Smookler) to the LIPA Board of Trustees, maybe LI would have been better prepared to handle Sandy. Actually many on the current LIPA Board are not qualified to oversee a major utility. They are all patronage beneficiaries, courtesy of Dean Skelos, Sheldon Silver, and Andrew Cuomo.

BTW We wouldn't be in this mess if Long Island politicians would simply stop the Patronage Mill. STOP planting unqualified individuals in important positions.

As for Bay Park, it's been a known disaster for the last 20 years! Any of Skelos' constituents can attest to that! Ask any East Rockaway resident what they think about Bay Park!

NYS and Nassau County have done nothing to fix that environmental disaster. Now with the Sandy relief money, let's see if Dean Skelos will personally oversee the repair of Bay Park!

One of the most important things Sandy has shown is LI is woefully ill-equipped to handle a severe storm and despite the tremendous amount of Tax Dollars sent to Albany every year, none of those tax dollars come back... We need to "harden" our infrastructure from natural disasters... yet Albany cares little to do so.

So I say to Senator Dean Skelos, if you really want tohelp the people of LI, stop the TAX INEQUITY and allow Nassau and Suffolk Counties to invest a portion of the Albany Tax bill here for infrastructure projects.
