Guest List Grows at Patch's Presidential Debate Viewing Party, Will You Be There?

Watch with us on Oct. 3.

Ever since we announced our Oct. 3 presidential debate viewing party, positive responses have been rolling in.

So far, a nice mix of community members, local leaders, and Stony Brook students and faculty members have confirmed they will be attending. Will you be there?

The party is set for 8:30 p.m. at The Bench Bar and Grill in Stony Brook. The debate starts at 9 p.m. and the party will run until the close of the debate at 10:30 p.m.

Watch with us as President Barack Obama and candidate Mitt Romney square off in a debate focused on domestic policy. Jim Lehrer, host of NewsHour on PBS, will be the moderator.

All members of the community are welcome to this event, which will feature free food and lively conversation with fellow locals and students. We'll be running a live blog across Patch sites in Suffolk County to give everyone not at the party the opportunity to share their thoughts on the debate as it unfolds.

We'd love to see you there.

How, in a period of rapidly declining enrollment, can costs be increasing so much from year to year,Read More you ask? The answer is in front of you in black and white. I urge you to READ your district’s budget: we are funding retirements when many of us cannot afford to fund our own during difficult economic times. These wheels were set in motion by contracts negotiated in times of unrealistic growth that may likely not occur again. It is time to open up these plans and relieve this unfair burden from our shoulders. Whatever other measures are pursued in order to control costs, including consolidation within and eventually with other districts, are never going to be enough if you cannot get this problem corrected. Write your congressman, for the love of God. If you need any more incentive to do so, please go to http://rocdocs.democratandchronicle.com/database/teacher-pensions-new-york and look at what Smithtown’s retirees are collecting MONTHLY. It will sicken you.

Tomorrow is the vote..vote NO NOW or our taxes are going to continue to sky rocket. Unless we doRead More something this town will continue to spiral down. More taxes aren't going to help. We need to cut expenses and get ourselves on a fiscally responsible plan.
