Pols hope the cost savings will keep the company from taking its 1,600 jobs off Island.
Hoping to prevent the loss of 1,600 jobs on Long Island, the Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency on Thursday floated an incentive package worth millions to Broadridge Financial — a public company that has threatened to move off-Island if officials didn’t find a way to help it trim costs. If the financial services company takes the offer — which its board will decide on in June — then it'll come as a disappointment to officials in New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, Ohio and Texas who were trying to woo the $2.2 billion company into moving to their states.

The fire was not actually "in the sump" - it was on the other side of the fence surrounding the sump on the side of the LIRR tracks. I know this because my husband contained the fire the best he could until the firemen arrived. more ›
