Letter: Cut off the Nassau police overtime

Nassau County can nickel and dime all it wants, but if the county really wants to balance the budget, it has to tackle the elephant in the room [“Nassau budget grows ever worse,” Editorial, Nov. 21].
Nassau is expected to spend $69 million in 2016 for police overtime. That doesn’t even count how much that overtime inflates pensions. Get rid of the overtime!
Get with it, Nassau Interim Finance Authority. Grow a backbone.
