A WIN FOR SUFFOLK COUNTY TAXPAYERS!

The work we’ve done as a Majority Caucus to strengthen Suffolk County’s finances is paying off. Fitch Ratings has upgraded Suffolk County’s bond rating to AA with a stable outlook, recognizing our improved cybersecurity and strong financial reserves.

What does this mean for taxpayers? Stronger financial management, greater confidence in our county’s fiscal health, and lower borrowing costs that can help save taxpayer dollars.

We’re committed to fiscal responsibility, protecting taxpayers, and building a stronger financial future for Suffolk County. Responsible government delivers results! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🚨 When You Call 911, You Are NOT Alone! 🚨

In an emergency, every second counts. Stay calm, know your location, and answer the dispatcher’s questions as clearly as possible.

📞 Remember, while you’re on the phone, emergency responders are already working to get you the help you need.

After many years of failed Democratic leadership in Suffolk county, overspending, etc, we have seen a tremendous turn for the better under the Republican leadership of our great county executive Edward Romaine and majority lead Republican caucus. Our once useless bond rating because of instability has risen each year under our leadership. We will continue to put the hard working taxpayers of Suffolk county First. 🇺🇸

My administration’s budgeting practices are being rewarded again by Fitch Ratings. This upgrade reflects our commitment to growth and fiscal stewardship, managing county resources responsibly without dipping into our reserves. My goal is to leave this county in better condition than I found it.

Today is Fire Prevention Day! 🔥🚒

It’s a great reminder for all of us to take a few simple steps that can help keep our homes, families, and communities safe. Make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working, keep fire extinguishers accessible, review an escape plan with your family, and never leave cooking or open flames unattended.

Most importantly, thank you to our local firefighters and first responders who work year-round to educate our communities, prevent fires, and respond when emergencies happen.

A little preparation can make a big difference. Stay safe and fire aware! 🚒
