Newsday's article "Salaries better on LI" [News, Aug. 20] is only half a story. Where is the other half? Where are the offsets to these higher salaries?
No mention of the higher gas prices here. We're still paying $100-a-barrel prices at the pump, when prices have dropped to about $82 a barrel. No mention of our taxes being the highest in the nation.
