Articles about Long Island Becoming the 51st State by Joseph Sawicki Jr.
I am pleased to provide you with links to various reports regarding the State of Long Island.
I continue to pursue this idea in my capacity as Suffolk County Comptroller. Over 20 years ago, I introduced a bill in the New York State Legislature when I was a New York State Assemblyman, 1983-1993 proposing Long Island as the Fifty First State. As you can see by this section of my webpage, I along with other prominent Long Island leaders, continue to push forward.
For sure, the economic sense of Long Island as a separate state makes this secessionist idea most notable and worth pursuing. To make this concept a reality, I welcome all the support that we can generate publicly. Please feel free to contact me at any time with any further thoughts you have on this issue at comptroller@suffolkcountyny.gov
Together we CAN make a difference – for if we do not, Long Island will become unaffordable to live.
