Secure Finances - Better Government

From strong finances to innovative programs such as 311 and Project Independence, Jon Kaiman has changed the landscape of the Town of North Hempstead.

First and foremost, under Jon Kaiman’s leadership the Town of North Hempstead remains in a strong financial position. As recently as September 1, 2011, Standard and Poor’s Municipal Finance Division issued a report that North Hempstead’s high credit rating reflects “the town’s continued strong financial position and financial management.” It also references the town’s “low debt burden as measured against market value.”

This is consistent with the Moody’s Credit Rating Agency, which reported in its September 27, 2010 analysis that the Town of North Hempstead “will continue to maintain a strong financial position, through conservative budgeting (and) strong internal controls…”

According to Supervisor Jon Kaiman, “The Town’s work on our parks and roads, our infrastructure improvements, our innovative programming is all made possible because of our strong financial position which we have maintained over the years and made it our top priority.”
