Hempstead Supervisor Announces Tax Cuts

Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, spoke to News 12 Long Island about Hempstead Town Supervisor John Ferretti proposing an 18% tax cut to the general fund for 2026, that he says would result in $5 million savings.

State Lawmakers Divided on NYC Mayoral Race

City & State NY interviewed Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, “Could Jacobs’ refusal to endorse Mamdani help Hochul?” Last week, State Democratic Party Chair Jay Jacobs offered an anti-endorsement of New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani. This came after Governor Kathy Hochul offered her support for Mamdani as mayor. The article reports that analysis has suggested that Jacobs’ public break with Hochul indicates a rift among New York Democrats. However it could be strategically advantageous for the governor to allow the state party chair to distance himself from Mamdani. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they have worked out a ‘good cop, bad cop’ situation that allows (Hochul) to protect her left flank in the primary with Delgado and beyond, and lets Jay align with Jeffries and Schumer to keep them competitive in suburban and suburban-like moderate swing districts,” said Levy. “(It’s a) pretty delicate dance that I don’t know will work, but I’m not sure if there’s a better way to play it.”
