Nassau County clerk: Carrie Solages

CARRIE SOLAGES

DEMOCRATIC

BACKGROUND: Solages, 30, of Elmont, also has the Working Families line. A lawyer and one of Nassau's human rights commissioners, he is a graduate of Georgetown University in the District of Columbia and Boston College School of Law.

ISSUES: Solages has said that the clerk's office has failed to modernize in any significant way under the current titleholder. He said that months, maybe years, could be cut from assessment appeals if the clerk, with whom they are filed, created direct digital secured access to the data instead of having it all on paper. He also accuses the current clerk of failing to implement any of the county Democratic comptroller's recommendations that accompanied his audit of that office. He cites the audit report that said "the Roslyn school district, where millions were stolen, had more controls [in place] than the clerk's office."
