Protecting Small Businesses

​

As a small business owner, Ragini Srivastava understands the challenges facing our local shopkeepers, restauranteurs and other entrepreneurs.  Small businesses are vital to our tax base and are necessary to reduce the tax burden on residential homeowners.  Ragini will work with Town and County officials to effect tax relief.  She will also work with Town officials to utilize grant monies (federal Community Development Block Grants and other state and federal assistance) to bring about downtown revitalization projects to help keep our local business districts vibrant and attractive.

Fighting for Taxpayers and our Families

​

Spiraling taxes and the rising cost of living continue to drive families, especially our young people, away from our area. The Town of North Hempstead has increased taxes for four years in a row (2018,2019,2020,2021). Especially during the COVID Pandemic, residents need tax relief. Ragini will also be an advocate for fairness in the Nassau County Executive’s Reassessment. Unfortunately, 65% of Nassau’s homeowners were hit with tax hikes as a result of her reassessment.
