LI library taxes hit poorest hardest

My wife sent me a link to this article in Newsday discussing a survey being released today that shows the poorest communities in Nassau County are paying the highest library taxes in the county:

“Harvey Levinson, chairman of the county board of assessors, said the survey showed that in lower income communities such as Roosevelt and Lakeview residents pay more for library service than they do for police. They pay four or five times the tax rates assessed on more affluent communities, such as Lawrence or the Gold Coast Library District in Glen Head.”
