Just prior to the May 20 informational meeting for residents on North Ferry’s rate hike request, a report on the issue from the Suffolk County Legislature was released. The county’s Budget Review Office determined that the increase is “reasonable” in view of the company’s 2020 financial results and projects for 2021.
“The current rate structure is insufficient … to meet the costs of its capital and operating expenses,” according to the report.
“The requested fare increases have merit, and although will not eliminate the risk of an operating loss, should provide sufficient capital for maintaining current levels of service for the public,” the report concluded, saying the request for rate relief should be granted.

County Legislator Bridget Fleming announced she will run for Congress, formally kicking off a campaign Monday to win the Democratic nod for the 1st Congressional District after falling short in the 2020 primary.
Ms. Fleming becomes the first candidate for either party here to announce a run for Congress in the 2022 election. The announcement comes just six months after the last election that saw Republican Lee Zeldin win a fourth term by defeating Democrat Nancy Goroff.
Backed by various supporters holding campaign signs in Patchogue, Ms. Fleming said she decided to run again on the evening of Jan. 6 after the insurrection in Washington, D.C.
