I look forward to continuing to enhance the assistance, services and informational seminars that I have been able to provide during my first term in office,” said Legislator Bosworth. “As part of the new Minority Caucus of the Nassau County Legislature, I plan to continue the bipartisan work that my colleagues and I have been engaged in to help the County through these difficult economic times. We must do our best to keep Nassau County on firm financial footing while continuing to provide the services that our residents deserve.”
