While legislation to repeal the outrageous MTA payroll tax easily passed in the state Senate with the strong leadership of Senator Jack Martins, its vote was blocked in the Assembly. This legislation

is a responsible measure to eliminate a jobkilling tax that continues to crush our local small businesses, hospitals, schools and nonprofits. This legislation is about making our community stronger, and its vital we once again address it for the future economic prosperity of our area.

I am eager to speak with you over the coming months to hear your feedback about this years productive and positive legislative session. Together, we can make next years legislative session as much of a success as 2011.

Come one, come all to the Elmont Farmers Market! Open for business every Thursday through November 24, and sponsored by the Elmont Chamber of Commerce, the Elmont Farmers Market is the place to be for local, fresh produce, plants, baked goods, a variety of fish caught off Long Island waters, grass-fed beef, cheese, eggs and much more. Senator Jack Martins and I are proud to support our local producers and this tremendous asset to Elmont!

I was honored to participate in the Belmont Parade on June 4. Seen here with the Sewanhaka High School marching band, this was a great way for Sewanhaka and Elmont to show off our shared community spirit and promote Belmont and Elmont as first-class destinations during Elmont Community Day!
I was proud to honor Elmont resident J.P. Iacaona in recognition of his tireless efforts to assist veterans in the community! J.P. has raised over $5,700 to provide service dogs to disabled veterans and wounded warriors. J.P. has made a significant difference in our community because his contributions have served as a valuable resource for the people, veterans, active soldiers, and returning soldiers of Elmont.

I was proud to join Governor Cuomo and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos to sign the property tax cap into law this summer. You gave me the honor of serving you, and I take that trust seriously. The property tax cap keeps our commitment to lower taxes, gives more control to our community, and creates jobs. What else can Albany do to help our community?
