PETITO PROPOSES
TOWN LAW REVISIONS A series of proposals to ' clarify and strengthen the Suburban
Town Law* will be sent to the 1967 State Legislature by Oyster
Bay Town Supervisor Michael N. Petito. The bills will be pre-filed
by Assemblyman Stanley Harwood of Levittown.
Petito, who said he will appear personally during the upcoming
legislative session in Albany to testify on the proposed changes,
said his aim is to strengthen home rule powers for Oyster Bay
Township while giving the Town more efficiencies and economy
in the administration of Town government. The proposed changes
would affect sections dealing with the powers of the Town Board,
*- h- p powers of the Supervisor, finances and budget estlmatr-md
administration of highway departments.
Commenting on the Suburban Town Law in general, the Supervisor
said the original intent of the legislature in drawing up
the law was excellent since it was aimed at strengthening local
government and giving the state's larger towns and executive
government. " The aims of the law and its many benefits have
been lost in Oyster Bay because of the purely partisan approach
of the Town Board to every matter," Petito stated. " Today
only Oyster Bay has a minority position in government, but who
is to say that similar situations won't exist in other Suburban
Town on Long Island and throughout the State in years ahead. The
people of any Township suffer when ' a part- time Town Board*
tells 9 duly elected full- time Supervisor that they refuse to
recognize any administrative ^ > e r s in tii& office.'*
