“We didn’t agree with any precincts being consolidated, and we truly believe that Nassau County taxpayers are not saving any money by having these buildings become open shells,” said Kevan Abrahams, the Democratic leader of the Nassau County Legislature.
As WCBS 880’s Long Island Bureau Chief Mike Xirinachs reported, the call follows the county’s decision to cancel future precinct consolidation plans.
It appears cost is the reason for the cancellation, Xirinachs reported.
Carver told 1010 WINS earlier Monday that County Executive Ed Mangano’s office told him that the county plans to reopen the 5th Precinct early next year, and that the 1st and 7th precincts will not be merged as originally planned in 2012.
