A group of Democratic Nassau County legislators accused Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican, of not disbursing funds to certain legislative districts, and plan to block him from borrowing any more county money until he does so.
The areas where the legislators claim first responder funds were withheld from include Baldwin, East Meadow, Glen Cove, Glenwood, Muttontown, Port Washington, Sands Point and Sea Cliff. Democrats in the legislative minority also say Blakeman and the GOP majority are witholding funes for cleanwater initiatives.
