George Santos has continued to defy his many critics by refusing to resign from Congress, he now faces the difficult task of winning re-election after having filed to run again next year.

Nassau County is expected to issue refunds totaling $1,583,000 to Glen Cove and the Glen Cove City School District this week. The refunds will resolve the accidental overpayment to the county of payments in lieu of taxes from 2010 to 2021, which were discovered during a 2021 audit of the city’s Industrial Development Agency by the state controller’s office. Glen Cove City Councilwoman Marsha Silverman expressed her criticism of the IDA, and requested the city undergo a self-audit in 2017 by employing an inspector general. After her request was denied, Silverman began talks with Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton and former Mayor Tim Tenke to formally begin requesting the initial audit.
