            The Minimum Wage has got to be increased so people can get closer to a living wage. Certain rules must be in effect such as if an employer has more than 25 full time workers salaries should be at a minimum of $20  an hour  ,part time and after school workers can and should be  paid less, manufacturers distributors and  employers of white collar office jobs just have to earn less profit , it will be  a drop in the bucket for employers who have 25 or more workers-full time .If a boss tries to circumvent the law by only giving workers 381/2 hours to avoid  increase in benefits and minimum salaries they should be heavily fined.

     *   Isn’t a shame that people have to make a living wage ? Can you pay your bills on less than $15 an hour and maintain and insure and gas up a Car and have your own apartment on $20  an hour .perhaps not but that should  be the entry level salary for all..especially in a metro N.Y.C. job market /END

  Crying L.I. Ratepayer  

    Governor Cuomo You Got To Find Us Another Electric Company and it has to be soon  ? This outfit PSCNG is raking us Long Islanders over the hot coals . Don’t they make  enough money that they don’t need to have additional raises ? Stop this  now Governor , Long Island  pay,s  among the highest utility rates in the nation , we are not a cash cow for PSCNG. Why  do they have to charge more than Florida ? Answer they don’t , it’s adding to the reason why the Middle Class is leaving Long Island for  Southern states , Step in now Governor before we get another raise.. If anything let the stockholders pay not the ratepayers !  /end

THANK YOU THE LERMAN REPORT STAFF

       Municipalities must get Rid of Red Light And Speed Camera’s. If the County Executives or Mayors can’t balance the budget let them  lay off some  wasteful civil servants and cut the pork , patronage jobs,contracts without lowest bids, cut pensions on civil service and just don’t give away the store period, do not make Mr. and Ms. Public pay for their ineptness when it come to balancing the budget. That’ s not what we should have law enforcement for.end
