Suffolk County Legislature’s September General Meeting Recap:
* Advanced key protections for seniors by adopting a new local law targeting gold bar and precious‑metal courier scams. I was proud to sponsor this important legislation alongside Legislator Thorne to protect our senior population.
* Set a public hearing for the Proposed 2027 County Operating Budget.
* Approved critical infrastructure restoration funding for the Vanderbilt Museum.
* Recognized two outstanding public servants:
- Probation Officer Colleen Galbraith for exceptional work during a high‑risk arrest.
- NYPD Officer Edwin Rivera for saving a child’s life from drowning while off-duty in Huntington Station.
A strong start back into legislative meetings after a brief recess in August. Our next General Meeting is Wednesday, October 14th.
