Suffolk County, NY - Vote No on Ballot Question # 2

The Eastern LI Chapter wants Suffolk County, NY to vote "No" on ballot question #2 that would divert money from a clean water fund to the county's operating budget.

Suffolk County Proposal #2 / Resolution 547-2020 passed and allowed dedicated monies to be moved out of the Drinking Water Protection Program Fund to the Suffolk County Taxpayers Trust Fund, a general fund.

Voting against this measure:

  •  Would enforce a court ruling that requires the repayment of millions of dollars illegally raided from the Drinking Water Protection Program Fund.
  •  Would ensure the availability of money to protect residents’ drinking water.
  •  Would maintain enough money in the tax stabilization fund to assist taxpayers in existing and new sewer districts.

 

Voting for this measure: 

  • Would move funds from the Drinking Water Protection Program to a general fund, which can be used for whatever politicians want.

  • Would “forgive” the repayment of tens of millions of dollars back to the water protection fund, that had been illegally raided from the water protection fund to the general fund, which can be used for whatever politicians want.
