He also spent last Saturday giving out free face masks to residents at Syosset High School. Lafazan also partnered with The Home Depot in sending care packages to seniors of the Syosset VFW, which included toilet paper, disposable nitrile gloves, face masks, hand sanitizer and more. One of the biggest campaigns has been the Neighbors Helping Neighbors initiative, which assists senior citizens with grocery shopping to keep them safe and inside of their homes. “As Nassau County continues to overcome the hardships presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, local government has been called upon to meet those emerging needs by devising innovative, safer new methods of delivering the services our constituents rely upon,” Legislator Arnold Drucker (D-Plainview) said.ĭrucker, as well as Legislator Joshua Lafzan (D-Woodbury), have been spearheading efforts to help those who are food insecure within Nassau County’s borders since New York Governor Andrew Cuomo mandated a stay-at-home order in March. The Nassau County Legislature approved the acceptance of more than $12 million from the federal government to bolster critical county services. From spearheading car parades to thank you cards, new legislation to help county residents and more, the bipartisan efforts have been easy to spot, unlike in the nation’s capital.
While Nassau County in particular has been hit quite hard by the virus, politicians have stepped up in ways unlike ever before. The Republican majority and the Democratic minority have been working on numerous ways to help the community-at-large during the COVID-19 crisis.
Fortunately, both parties within the Nassau County Legislature have remained civil. In the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, it is not the time for politicians to spew hate.
