I don't know if it is still there, but a few years back I noticed in the police budget a $4,000,000 expense to Nassau Community College, allegedly as rent for police facilities (EVOC hanger and In-service bldg.). This is, on it's face, an outrage and, quite possibly, illegal. Imagine... one county agency paying rent to another for otherwise worthless facilities. This accounting "slight of hand" allowed the politicians to give more $$$ to Nassau Community but have it look like that $$$ went to the PD. The powers that be counted on the fact that most people do not complain when tax money went towards a then popular police dept.
Sounds stupid but this is a common practice in public and private. Wife works at a local private college and as an example.. If she needs security for an event, her dept is charged by the security dept. Yes, it may be a common practice in private practice, but it is illegal aka Enron. It is 100% illegal in public agancies. If the public is fooled into thinking their taxes go to the PD when they are, in effect, going to Nassau Community College, someone could go to jail. IF someone gave a sh*&, that is. Corruption is so freaking rampant, reps and dems, that this scandal will never see the light of day. They (reps and dems) are the political class and protect each other so they will be re-elected. Honestly, and I am a registered R, there is not much difference between the two mainstream parties. Damn shame.
