As a college professor, we know that many of the students are not "adults" but LEGALLY we…Read More are not allowed to discuss the student with the parent. We know that it is the parent that is most often paying for college, but without a signed letter of consent. signed by both the parent and the student, we are LEGALLY NOT ALLOWED to discuss the student with the parent....no matter how much we want to.

I completely agree with you...and that's my point. Our system does define adulthood by age (and too…Read More young of an age in my opinion) when it shouldn't be. And personally, I think talking on your cell phone or texting while driving should be an immediate loss of license.

Age does not determine adulthood. Maturity does. There are plenty of non-adult 30 year olds…Read More wandering around. You can see them on their cell phones while driving at 70 mph.

Extremely well written. We will be voting for you. Thank you for thinking about the " the…Read More public " - given that the public are the tax payers and transparency should be number one on the priority list. JM

I went to the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Press Conference.. For those who missed the press conference…Read More at the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Facility plant yesterday, here is my rebuttal to the proposal which supports ZERO Bio-ethical organization: As you're aware: Shellfish ecosystems thrived in our bodies of water for hundreds of years, once we began overfishing them three hundred years ago, and started using lead based paints on our ship's hulls, simultaneously with polluting into our water systems, the oyster reefs, clam beds, mussel and scallop cultures diminished, and so did the bay's natural ability to filter out the algae's which promote Brown and Red Algae Blooms. Today, we have Dept. of Waterways investing in man built oyster reefs in Reynold's Channel, but the investment is limited, and so is the natural organic nitrogen nutrients which shellfish rely on. We need Compost Tea to replace synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides to apply to our grounds and support the living organisms who can't speak up at a news press conference! If you remove the outflow pipe from Reynold's Channel you will no longer sustain the oyster reef Population! That will dovetail in less food for larger fish, and birds, and the eco-system will continue to spiral to abysmally low cultures without proper nutrients. Let's also not forgot about the $40 Million being invested into the Nassau County, Long Beach Boardwalk. Today All of suffolk Counties' Sewage is piped out into the ocean in an effort to bypass the moriches bay in Happauge, Patchouge, etc... What you have is a seasonal BROWN ALGAE & Red Algae Bloom which is hazardous to the environment, not to mention to recreational swimmers, surfers etc. Bio-ethics are Crucial Harvey! If you don't refuse to bio-ethically Promote our human supported Filtrating shellfish populations with more oyster seed, compost tea, You will have BEACH CLOSINGS THROUGHOUT THE BUSIEST TIMES OF BEACH SEASONS IN PLO, LIDO, ISLAND PARK, EAST ROCKAWAY, FIVE TOWNS, LONG BEACH, ATLANTIC BEACH. Not to mention the brown and red algae tides will severely eutrify(Compromise) the waterways environments for any chance of any resurgent fish eco-system. As we go on with our lives, there are ecosystems that are breathing and living in cyclical patterns amidst the impacts we force them to incur. There is no investment by Mangano or anyone who spoke at the press conference to support/assist the Bay's natural filtration element.
