You now work WIOTH Kate Murray to get her to work for you. Wang, a leftist, has the GOP on his side in this and in politics, the more bases you cover, the better. Mangano, Wang/Suozzi and the goat vote all count the same. |

In theory, this could mean lower taxes. In Nassau, nothing means lower taxes. I think you all understand this. The bond repayment cancels this out as a one time charge with county coffers making income on this. The arena repayment if not shadily constructed should ensure the taxpayer will see no negligible effect long term or medium term on the tax bill. The bond issuance has to be repaid as well because NASSAU HAS A THIRD WORLD CREDIT RATING NOW. The politicians (in theory) have to make this work. Now will they cut spending and reduce taxes in the future? |

I only cared to hear 2 people. Brad Kurtzberg and BD Gallof who I skipped to. I was disappointed with Kurtzberg's thoughts. Nothing new outside of mainstream reports. BD Gallof brought up TERRIFIC points. Furthermore he is more relaxed and looked like fan instead of a robot in front of a camera. I urge everyone to watch that and just skip to the last 5th of it with BD Gallof. That is all you need to see, hear and ponder. |

Where did I write that? Have you seen the bond market within the past 4 months? Bond fund values are dropping by the day. I was getting good yield but the value was dropping quick so I got out. I'll wait to see how the bonds are structured before condemning/praising them. One thing's for sure, Easy E Mangano should have run this by NIFA. |

maybe you're buying the wrong bond funds by the way who elected nifa? when tom souzzi was destroying nassau county not a peep from nifa now all of a sudden.... Ed Mangano was elected by the people to run nassau county who is nifa boss? nifa imo should stay out of the way... |

As the first to report this week's events on Monday, I really respect Gallof's reporting. Well, his latest take is not positive as it relates to Mangano and his promises..... Reality Check - New Coliseum No Sure Thing |

CJ Papa made a very interesting point. in 2016 there won't be a Nassau Coliseum, he asks were are you going to go (if you live in Nassau) and want to see an event? MSG?? the city and pay to get on the train etc etc?? watch out for WFAN to be come out all of a sudden ring their hands and make statements about municipal debt can Nassau County afford this?? and who really wants to go to Uniondale for anything?? remember the "FAN" was opposed to the West Side Stadium for the Jets because the Dolans did not want competition for MSG, most likely Fat Mike will start bring his property tax bill and read it on the air just to show that Nassau really should not approve the arena. then when we have to hit the phones and slam Fat Mike for being what he is, a lackey for his bosses and a phoney. |

Just like there's LACKEYS for Wang and Snow. Don't believe the hype, nor scare tactics. Educate yourselves Islanders fans. The unions-politicos-Wang camp are not going to give you any facts. Just their fiction. |

Exactly! You should not have to work to be an Islanders fan. You should only buy tickets, tune in or turn up for a game. When the owner uses mickey mouse media to pull a chicken little , that's when it crosses the line for me. There's plenty of places to go see a concert in Nassau. There's also some great museums, beaches and guess what??? LIBRARIES. This "consider the alternative" to the NO vote on referendum scare tactic is really being marketed to peoples fears. So much so, I've read so many inane comments online by Isles fans about how this will resurrect Long Island. They need to stop listening to politicians, unions, lobbyists and people with agenda's who herd sheep. This is why I capitalized "LIBRARIES" earlier.

The Coliseum gets big names to play there. I feel that going to Manhattan is such a serious pain in the ass. I usually take the train, so that is about 3 hours added to the trip. Plus the cost of the train tickets. Going to the coliseum round trip is about an hour for me, and the parking situation is doable. I've been to concerts at the coliseum. I wonder if most Long Islanders agree with me that going there is much better then going to Manhattan. I asked CJ for some insights about the press conference and he did a good job with it. Everyone that I filmed has there own take on things, some optimistic and others more pessimistic. CJ brought up a minor talking point but it is valid nonetheless. |

Raised a good valid question. But the answer is, it's NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. They are just stretching it. In other words...not an Isles fan? ok, since hockey isn't your cup of tea... where else would you go to see a concert, etc. Marketing to peoples fears 101. |
