Anker: Money Earmarked for Mount Sinai Harbor Dredging Project Intact

A Letter to the Editor from Legis. Sarah Anker.

Editor's Note: Below is a Letter to the Editor sent by Legis. Sarah Anker.

At a recent meeting with the Mount Sinai Advisory Committee, information was discussed regarding the funding for the Mount Sinai Harbor Dredging Project. I would like to reassure the community that the $2.1 million earmarked for the project remains intact.


The Town of Brookhaven has designated Mt. Sinai Harbor as a Marine Sanctuary in recognition of its diverse natural resources. The intent of the dredging project is to improve and protect the harbor while enhancing its safety, use and sustainability.

I will continue to make this project a top priority, and will work hard to ensure that the harbor remains an economical and cultural resource for our community, boaters and families.

Sincerely,

Sarah Anker

Suffolk County Legislator, Sixth District

Bravo MP Majority, very well said.Teachers are the most protected job on the planet. Now if theyRead More could only earn that money by producing results in the classrooms like they used to. But I also blame the absent NO vote. They need to be sent a message-we need a majority no vote but that will never happen. Glad I am out of here in 2 years. Can't imagine trying to live here and pay these taxes on social security and my 401K that tanked in 2008 while I was making up the teachers loss on their pension and paying my health insurance & theirs at the same time. So boo hoo teachers you have to spend money on the kids while I spend money on you.

Spoken like a true teacher. Did you know that the average school teacher is only paying 15% of theRead More actual cost of health care premiums for themselves and their families, when Medical healthcare insurance premiums are rising at an alarming 17% per annum? Do you realize that teachers are paid an additional stipend if they work more than 3 consecutive periods in a day? Are you aware that teacher pensions were protected during the stock market crash of 2008, when the average person's 401K was totally at risk? Perhaps if teachers realized how good they have it - look at the BIG picture and outside of their bubble - then they would complain less. Oh and yes, we need our loftily-paid Administrators to kick in some of the salaries, to help pay for stuff. Hard to believe the school districts' mantras that "it's all for the kids".
