18th LD Candidate: Elizabeth Black [VIDEO]

Huntington native Elizabeth Black hopes to continue her long record of community service as a new member of the Suffolk County Legislature.

Black is a retired teacher and nine-year trustee with the Huntington Board of Education. Married for 34 years, Black is a lifelong resident of Huntington with three children.

The first-time legislative candidate said she has a plan to fill a $125 million gap in the $2.7 billion dollar Suffolk County budget which is currently being negotiated the Legislature.

"If we can raise the sales revenue next year by five percent, then we can fill that gap," said Black. "How do we do that? We do that by getting economic activity going."

She said one of her priorities is to work to lift regulations which impede the growth of business.

"We have many duplications of regulations on all levels," said Black. She suggests streamlining the system to put putting on level of government in control of regulations.

Black said public safety is a concer and she will do all she can to provide safety for all of the towns and communities across Suffolk County.
