Jeffrey Pravato, Receiver of Taxes, Town of Oyster Bay

REPUBLICAN

Pravato, 51, is running on the Republican, Conservative, Independence and Tax Revolt party lines. He is seeking his first four-year term. He is currently a deputy commissioner of the Oyster Bay Department of Public Works, mayor of Massapequa Park and a real estate agent.

ISSUES:

• Pravato wants to upgrade the tax system so that all tax bills and payments could be handled online.
• He said he would create drive-up windows and a mobile tax office so that people could drop off their tax payments during peak tax season.
• Pravato wants to continue to hold workshops targeted at seniors and veterans to help them get the tax exemptions they’re entitled to.
