From the June 2007 Issue.

Written by Warren Tackenberg

For the record, the following is the NCVOA's position on several bills being discussed in Albany during this legislative session.

S 744 - Would create a statewide cable franchising agency that would replace the control of local governments

A 5943 - Would require public records be available within 72 hours of a public meeting

S 3560A - Changes the time window for Article 78 legislation

A 7375 - Would give the village justice sole authority to hire and fire a court clerk. It also would give the judge authority over non-judicial court personnel.

In Support

S 8400A of 2006 - Taxi and Limousine legislation that amends S8400 passed last year. This amended bill provides local governments in Nassau County with local control.
