6th Precinct reopens after 7-year break
GRAND OPENING
Upgrades planned through October on building constructed in 1973 BY T E R I W EST Nassau County’s 6th Police Precinct officially reopened Tuesday in Manhasset, marking the end of a saga dating to 2012 when the county merged it with the 3rd. County Executive Laura Curran announced the reopening of the precinct at its Community Drive location last Thursday morning, surrounded by town, county and police officials and eager bulldozers. “To create a supersize 3rd Precinct, how was that ever a good idea?” Legislator Ellen Birnbaum (D-Great Neck) said last Thursday. “Policing should be communityoriented.

East Hills budget would freeze taxes for 9th year BY T E R I W EST The East Hills Board of Trustees will vote on the proposed $13.1 million budget on April 23, a budget that represents the ninth consecu-
tive year with no increase in taxpayer contributions, said Mayor Michael Koblenz. The budget is nearly a mirror of last year’s, the mayor said, with the total figure being a 0.5 percent decrease.
“It’s a fiscally responsible budget, and it doesn’t cut services and provides the residents with everything that they receive now,” Koblenz said. “Repair of the roads, sanitaContinued on Page 66
