Ed Mangano Today's Keynote Speaker at Chamber Lunch

The Garden City Chamber of Commerce invites members of both the business and residential community to hear – for the first time in Garden City - newly elected County Executive Ed Mangano, who is serving as today's keynote speaker at the chamber's luncheon program at The Garden City Hotel. 

Mangano's address will focus on his central campaign promise: reform the county's property tax assessment system.

In a recent talk before members of the Nassau County Council of Chambers, Mangano outlined the myriad challenges that lie ahead. But Job One, he said, is fixing assessment, a system he has repeatedly criticized as a legislator. This, he said, is directly related to Job Two: stabilizing the county's long-term finances. These, along with other issues that impact Garden City and all of Nassau County will be on the agenda for discussion.

Mangano was elected Nassau's county executive this past November following five terms as Nassau County legislator for the 17th Legislative District.

The luncheon program, to be held in the hotel's Grand Ballroom, will commence at 11:30 a.m. with the traditional Business Showcase of various member businesses and professions combined with a reception-networking period. Lunch will be served promptly at 12:30 p.m.
