Hempstead aims to clear roads by Tuesday morning
Hempstead Town Supervisor John Ferretti told Newsday that plows are working to get residents back onto roads on Tuesday.
"But for today, stay home," he added. "We're asking residents to please continue to cooperate" with the county's travel ban.
About 150 trucks are plowing nearly 1,200 miles of town roads in Hempstead, he said, noting that local roads are often curvier and have more cars parked on them than state-owned thoroughfares — making them more difficult to plow.
"We have our challenges, but we're up to the task, and we will get everybody out to work Tuesday morning," he said, thanking town employees.
'It's personal to me' The law would require businesses to have proper state licensing, prove that their employees are paid and ban staff from living at the spas or sleeping there overnight. Repeat offenders could face penalties up to $25,000. NewsdayTV's Shari Einhorn has more.
