Nassau Expressway Fix + Furniture Warehouse Keeps IDA Tax Breaks

Hello, people of Five Towns! I'm back with another edition of the Five Towns Daily.

Two local legislators are calling for a fix for the Nassau Expressway traffic issue. It's the centennial year of the Santa Marina mass in Inwood. And Nassau Police released the locations of car break-ins nearby: see where they occurred.

First, today's weather: Rain in the evening and overnight with a high of 85 and a low of 73 degrees.

Here are the top stories today in Five Towns:
