Nassau County Legislator Howard J. Kopel and his colleagues on the County Legislature Majority voted today to approve two historic measures that will combine duplicative Nassau County Departments and save taxpayers millions of dollars annually. This departmental merger will also significantly reduce managerial costs by eliminating highly paid personnel costs while maintaining the county’s current high level of services.
“This is just smart government,” said Legislator Kopel. “I am very glad we ensured that all levels of governmental services within the effected departments will remain intact with this merger, while saving taxpayers millions of dollars annually. Saving our working families and seniors’ tax dollars by reducing both bloated administrative salaries and bureaucratic duplication is long overdue,” said Legislator Kopel.
