On Friday, cameras were placed at Plainedge Middle School in Bethpage,
Dutch Lane Elementary in Hicksville and Abbey Lane School in Levittown,
Nassau Department of Public Works spokesman Michael Martino said.

Quoted:


Why are the school zone speed limits so low on Long Island? Set so low no one will obey them? I wonder that every time I go flying past the Durham elementary school at 55mmph without breaking the law.

Dutch Broadway in Elmont by the Dutch Broadway School.

Active and installed.

Quoted:
I read a "letters to the editor" response from a woman about how her neighbor was hit in a school zone while walking his dog.  The writer went on about how this will hold people accountable now to the speed limit and if the cameras were in place her neighbor would not have been hit..

Fucking delusional people.

Quoted:



Cameras do not deter speeders.  They only generate income for the camera company & the local authorities.  If anything, the local authorities will end up enjoying the additional income so they'll actually WANT you to continue to speed ....



 

County Comptroller George Maragos projected Tuesday that Nassau will end the year with a nearly $77 million cash deficit, primarily due to a steep decline in sales tax revenues and increasing costs of police overtime.

Maragos also said in his midyear budget report, required by the county charter, that the difference between recurring revenues and recurring expenses -- the structural budget gap -- will increase to $242 million by the close of this year, after dropping to $99 million last year.

Maragos said fellow Republican County Executive Edward Mangano and the county's financial control board, the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, must take "immediate steps" to close the deficit to "avoid the unpleasant consequences that will arise from our projections, should they be allowed to materialize."

Tim Sullivan, Mangano's deputy county executive for finance, said the administration already has submitted a plan to NIFA to reduce overtime spending through "management initiatives" and by cutting funds budgeted for supplies, equipment and contractual expenses.

Sullivan said the county has asked for proposals from an independent economic consultant to review and report on the sales tax data by Sept. 5. The administration had questioned the accuracy of the state's allocation of sales tax revenues, after Nassau's collections dropped by 9 percent through June compared with the same period last year.

The county charter requires Mangano to submit his proposed 2015 budget on Sept. 15.
Maragos projects that police overtime will cost $67.4 million this year compared to $50 million budgeted. He also predicts a $90 million shortfall in sales tax revenues, which he said reflects slower economic activity after a surge in spending after superstorm Sandy in 2012, and a shift to online shopping.

Sullivan is projecting a $51 million sales tax shortfall but says changes in police contracts that restrict the use of leave time, along with the hiring of new police officers at a lower pay scale, will slow the growth in overtime.

NIFA recently lifted a three-year wage freeze on four of the county's five major unions after they negotiated new contracts that the administration and labor leaders said will save tens of millions of dollars in future years. NIFA is expected to approve a new deal for county correction officers next month.

NIFA chairman Jon Kaiman had asked Nassau to develop new revenues to cover immediate costs projected at about $130 million over four years.
Sullivan, in a memo to NIFA, said some of those initiatives, such as increased fees and new speed cameras in school zones, will help close this year's projected deficit.

Which means the school could host weekly all day "Beautiful Weekend" events on Saturday's and Sunday's and have their zone in force.  Do not underestimate our overlords capacity to invent situations out of thin air in order to get around what would normally be a logical interpretation of the law.  I suspect there would not have to even be any body at the school.  Just posting that there is an "official" event in effect.  Much like congress holds "pro forma" sessions with empty chambers.
