It is National Safe Boating Week!  Before boaters head out to the Long Island Sound, the Fire Island Inlet, the ocean, and the bays, we recommend taking necessary safety precautions.  New and experienced boaters alike should know how to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.  Here are a few tips for boaters to keep in mind as they take their boats out for the first time this year.

Boater Safety Tips:

• Life Jackets – Make sure that your vessel has enough life jackets for all of the people who are traveling on the boat.
• Weather – Keep an eye on the weather.  Conditions can change quickly when you are out on the water.
• Designated Driver – You should never operate a boat while under the influence.
• Registration – Your registration sticker should be displayed on your boat.
• Distress Equipment – Keep visual distress equipment, including flares and a VHF radio, aboard.

In addition to following these boating tips, anyone born on or after May 1, 1996 will need to obtain a boating safety certification in order to legally operate a motorboat.  However, it is encouraged that all drivers take this course.

Nassau County has proposed using speeding cameras to gain revenue for new union contracts.  If the three-year wage freeze for unions is lifted, it will cost Nassau County $120 million over the course of four years.  The speeding cameras are projected to rains $57.7 million if installed in school zones. 

The Nassau office analyzed the use of speed cameras in Baltimore, Chicago and Washington, D.C. to estimate potential revenue gain.  County Comptroller George Maragos reported that the speeding camera revenue would cut the contract costs to $62.6 million through 2017.  However, the State Legislature has yet to approve the use of these cameras.  If approved, legislation would divert some of this camera revenue to villages.
