Insurance Assistance Center Tomorrow at Tanner Park

Event sponsored by Sen. Charles Fuschillo will give homeowners access to Dept. of Financial Services.

An Insurance Assistance Center will be opened at Tanner Park in Copiague on Wednesday, Feb. 27th to help homeowners get answers to their insurance questions from specialists.

The event, sponsored by Sen. Charles Fuschillo (R–Merrick), will begin at 11 a.m. in front of the Senior Center at the park and last until 7 p.m.

Homeowners that were affected by Hurricane Sandy in October will be able to speak with trained specialists from the Department of Financial Services. The representatives will be able to:

  • Answer questions about insurance claims processes
  • Help homeowners seek resolution with an insurer
  • Help obtain release of insurance money
  • Help file official complaints against insurers
  • Provide information on city, state and federal relief programs.

Homeowners are asked by Sen. Fuschillo's officer to bring insurance documents, payment records and any correspondence with the insurers.

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident. However, I did take theRead More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done. As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.
