The state of the county, according to Levy
Text of County Executive Steve Levy's "State of the County" address Feb. 3, 2010 at the Wang Center, Stony Brook University
Thank you President Stanley, and our gracious hosts here at Stony Brook University -- the jewel of our state system and the school from which I proudly graduated. This school has come a long way since my undergraduate days some thirty years ago, and is now recognized as one of the top 100 universities in the nation.
Thank you as well Supervisor Mark Lesko for your kind words and outstanding leadership of our county’s largest town. Thank you ladies and gentlemen of the Legislature for your cooperation throughout these very difficult times. Thank you to News 12 and, for the first time, FIOS, for broadcasting this address live.
And finally thank you to the many residents from Amityville to Montauk for tuning in this evening.
The State of the County paints a verbal picture of where we have come from, where we are now, and where we are heading. Where have we come from? Last year we experienced the deepest recession since the Great Depression. A year ago at this time I warned that it would be a rough year. But even that cautionary speech did not fully foretell the extent to which our national economy would falter. And as the national economy suffers, so does our economy here in our great county.
How bad were the economic conditions in 2009?
