HELPING THE SCHOOLS WHILE KEEPING TAXES LOW
Ira Bernstein,candidate for the NY State 2nd District and member of the
Senior Advisory has a plan to keep our educational system strong and not
have our tax dollars leave the community. He believes in a mentoring program where seniors can be strong advocates of our youth for community service projects and school business alliances. He proposes a transparent system to see where our education dollars are spent including accountability of our lottery system. He has worked on grants for big cooperations such as Norththrop-Grumman and Keyspan. He does not believe in recycling past retired superintendents to other schools, would like a GPS tracking system to keep track of elected officials, and a less expensive staff budget to run an office in our senate district. Ira believes that the former Kings Park Psychiatric Center can be utilized as a beautification project through various grants without raising taxes to our residents. Ira is a former teacher in the Commack School District and is one of our own. His past work as a teacher and grant writer has his sights on using the Marion Carl Farm as a learning Center keeping our educational system strong by not having our tax dollars leave our community.
