Town of Babylon sues Nassau County, others over equalization rates

Babylon Town officials and residents have sued Nassau County and several other agencies, saying that the county has unlawfully shifted tax burdens onto Suffolk County residents in “split-county” school districts in Farmingdale and Amityville, according to a complaint filed in federal court in May.

The residents and officials contend that “split” school districts are unconstitutional and are seeking financial relief.
