Suozzi's talk and Ed's results

Tom Suozzi's got a jazzy website. It talks about his environmental record. Tom's got a picture of himself cleaning up a garbage dump. That's talk. Let's talk results.



Suozzi's policies have led to the increase in pollution and destruction in county owned land. Just go to a county park. The places are falling apart. He's cut the budget, closed down county parks and generally neglected the environment.



Ed Mangano's list of environmental accomplishments goes far beyond anything Suozzi can claim. Ed preserved parkland and athletic fields throughout the county.
