After a monthslong draught in the Nassau County Legislature where no Democrat-led requests for funding made it to the floor for a vote, on Nov. 20 the legislature approved about $1.25 million in funding for projects by Democratic legislators.
The largest portion of the funds is $950,000 to the Mid Island Y JCC to recover funds lost during the pandemic. The nonprofit in Plainview focuses on fostering Jewish identity and community. The funds were passed unanimously by the Nassau County Legislature.
