�8LOCAL OFFICIALS SUPPORT TAX SETTLEMENTS IN THEIR DISTRICTSSupervisor Ed Romaine Announces Support for Town of Brookhaven Settlement (Port Jefferson Power Plant)April 4, 2018 - State of the Town Address

“We have a framework with LIPA to settle this case and avoid unnecessary costs that result from continuing this case. These taxes are paid by all our residents in their electric bills, but disproportionately benefit a small number of taxing districts near the plant…property assessments have to be just and fair. They’ve [school districts] collected for many years a great deal of money on a plant that some people say has been over-assessed. This property was out of line. We’re bringing it into line. So they will have to live the way other school districts do.”

“Nassau County Executive Laura Curran Supports Tax Settlements(E.F. Barrett and Glenwood Landing Power Plants)March 28, 2018 - State of the County Address

There are many “risks which go to the heart of our failed tax assessment system. The first risk relates to future tax certiorari refunds … and tax certiorari claims including utility claims for prior years. This amount is estimated to be more than $500 million. We are reviewing the pending utility litigation and we must ensure that we are not plagued with more debt.”

Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine

Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant

Port Jefferson Mayor Margot Garant Approves Village of Port Jefferson Settlement (Port Jefferson Power Plant)April 16, 2018

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran

On the approval of the tax settlement: “Port Jefferson Village officials have approved a budget that increases taxes by a little less than 2 percent, Mayor Margot Garant said recently. She said the budget sets aside $107,439 in a restricted reserve account to prepare for an anticipated loss of revenue from payments in lieu of taxes made by the Long Island Power Authority on the Port Jefferson power plant.” - Newsday
