Posted by For the Nassau County budget, Doomsday seems to be a movable deadline.
County Executive Thomas Suozzi had hoped to have his $130 million budget-balancing plan, announced Feb. 2, completed by now.
July 1 was a semiofficial deadline, and Suozzi aides declined yesterday to discuss specifics about how he would implement his plans for layoffs, closing county offices, shutting parks and other measures.
“I know July 1 was sort of the official day, but there is a procedural- slash-legal agreement with the governor and the state legislature,” Thomas Stokes, the deputy county executive for management, budget and finance said yesterday. He said every day after July 1 without an agreement will cost the county $100,000.
