Many LI leaders ready for annual speech

Brookhaven Supervisor Mark Lesko is scheduled to give the town’s annual State of the Town address on Thursday at 4 p.m. in the cafeteria on the second floor of Town Hall (1 Independence Hill, Farmingville).

Lesko has said that this year’s speech will focus on the town’s need to restructure government in the face of flagging revenues.

The speech precedes the regular town board meeting, which is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. The public is welcome but must RSVP first at brookhaven.org/brookhaven/rsvp.aspx.

Here is a roundup of plans for such speeches at Long Island’s other towns and cities:
