f the political hacks who have been put in charge of NHCC to cover up the state’s massive fraud want a fight — they’ll get one.

Abygayle Ade, a rising senior at Uniondale High School, was one of eight Long Island high school students chosen for a paid internship in ERASE Racism’s Student Leaders for Equity program. During a recent six-week period running through Aug. 7, she took an active role conveying the programs mission in promoting racial justice in her community and learning how to advocate for equity in her school. Other students came from high schools in Merrick, Huntington Station, Old Westbury, New Hyde Park, Dix Hills, Floral Park and Malvern. ERASE Racism held an end-of-year celebration in Syosset on Aug. 6, featuring eight Student Leaders for Equity interns, including Ade, who presented research on racial inequities in healthcare, specifically the high rate of maternal deaths among Blacks. “I found a lot of different websites and many articles about it,” Ade said. “What mostly stood out to me is how all the deaths to Black women can be prevented —just people are not deciding to change it.” Although she has no personal connection to the issue, she’s passionate about the topic because she hopes to become a therapist in the healthcare system. “Therapists might not want to see a certain race for their beliefs,” Ade said. “And being able to do this internship shows me that it could happen. It brings me more awareness and it gives me more — I learned a lot from it.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pregnancy-related mortality rates are higher among Black women than white women, due to healthcare gaps, chronic conditions and social inequalities. “Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women,” the CDC stated. In 2022, the maternal mortality rate for Blacks was 49.5 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with 19 for whites, 16.9 for Hispanics, and 13.2 for Asians. “We had basically looked at structural racism, how racism from back in the day is still being taught — it’s still happening now,” Ade said. But racial disparity on Long Island exists in areas other than healthcare, Ade said. She said that in many towns, people of color are looked at or treated differently because of their skin color, and in towns where another race is the majority, that difference becomes even more apparent. “Part of Abygayle’s interview, she talked about wanting to be an advocate and having her voice uplifted,” April Francis-Taylor, acting president of ERASE Racism, said. “As a young woman, she feels that she’s often unseen and some of her ideas aren’t always valued. Applicants should be a high school student, and those who are passionate about racial equity. Also it is for students who want to organize and advocate for racial justice COntinued On Page 4

A report by the Nassau County Interim Finance Authority raised serious concerns about Nassau County’s fiscal health, warning of possible significant challenges through 2028.

Report raises concern over Nassau County’s fiscal outlook By ROKSANA AMID

The Nassau County Interim Finance Authority, a corporate governmental agency established by New York state with powers to monitor and oversee Nassau County’s finances, review financial plans, and, if necessary, impose a control period, has released a report on the county’s updated multi-year financial plan, warning of significant fiscal challenges through Fiscal Year 2028. The analysis shows that the operating results for Fiscal Year 2025 alone could result in a potential deficit under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of $204.7 million. After the county’s planned use of $108.2 million of its reserves to pay operating costs, that figure would drop to $96.5 million. “Our analysis of the county’s updated multi-year financial plan yielded some troubling discoveries, which are largely due to the County’s tendency to use funding from reserves to pay operating costs,” said Richard Kessel, NIFA’s chairman. “Reserve funding is meant to be used in times of financial stress or emergency, which is not currently the case in Nassau County, and this administration is living outside its means. The county’s financial future looks concerning to us at NIFA, and while there is still time to turn that around, it will take a great deal of change in fiscal management.”

According to NIFA, deficits are projected to reach $273.9 million in Fiscal Year 2028, or $231.9 million after the planned use of $42 million of reserves to pay operating costs. This projected risk is more than six times the one percent deficit threshold that would require a control period. Contributing factors include uncertainty over future federal aid following a one-time transfer of $247.4 million from the American Rescue Plan Act in Fiscal Year 2024, higher-than-assumed overtime costs, lower-than-assumed sales tax and fine revenues, and higher-than-assumed spending on early intervention, preschool special education, and other social services programs, even when offset by state and federal aid reimbursement. The expiration of certain labor contracts in July 2026 also adds to the uncertainty. NIFA cited concerns about significant liabilities, including approximately $909.4 million in long-term obligations for tax certiorari refunds, non-certiorari litigation, and workers’ compensation claims, along with $77.2 million in contingent liability tied to the Nassau Health Care Corporation’s finances. County Executive Bruce Blakeman, in an emailed statement to the Herald, rejected the findings. “NIFA is a bloated Democrat patronage mill that has predicted deficits for the last three years,” Blakeman said, “when in fact the county ran large surpluses.”

Accusations fly in both directions at NUMC

and its parent corporation in July, alleging wrongful termination, lost wages, and intentional reputational damage. Alex Hartzband, an attorney with Grubin Law Group representing Ryan, said that “Ryan did absolutely nothing wrong.” “The payments she authorized were permissible under hospital policy and consistent with years of established practice by the CEOs who preceded her,” he stated in the news release. In the same release, Ryan said, “My top priority has always been giving people the best possible health care and protecting our dedicated employees.” The lawsuit filed by the hospital’s new leadership accuses Ryan of abusing her power by enriching herself and other administrators, seeking reimbursement for luxury expenses and destroying records, among other accusations. Hospital officials stated that Ryan’s tenure was marked by a collapse of financial discipline and ethical leadership. Nassau County Democrats, including Legislators Seth Koslow and Delia DeRiggi-Whitton sounded alarms in late-July, after a Newsday report found that NUMC’s former executives charged a $1,400 restaurant bill to the hospital in late-May. Koslow called for local, state and federal prosecutors to investigate the “lavish and questionable” spending; the alleged “improper” payouts; and the “unexplained theft and recovery” of documents from Mathew Bruderman’s home — the hospital’s former board chairman who was abruptly fired in April. The minority caucus further addressed their concerns at an Aug. 14 news conference in Mineola and were critical of County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s support of the former hospital board. DeRiggi-Whitton told reporters: “Hospitals aren’t playgrounds for political appointees.” “Let me be clear, if you shredded 40 containers of documents and deleted hard drives,” she said in reference to the lawsuit allegations against Ryan that state she destroyed hospital records, “you’re not protecting the public. You’re hiding from them. We deserve answers.” “Bruce Blakeman didn’t just look away

he recent revelations further validate Gov. Hochul’s decisive action to restructure the board and restore accountability to this critical safety-net institution.

The statement added that the “board and leadership” at NUMC have waged “an aggressive campaign” against Ryan and additional corruption. “If the political hacks who have been put in charge of NHCC to cover up the state’s massive fraud want a fight — they’ll get one,” the statement said. “We have the evidence, the witnesses and the facts to ensure Ms. Ryan will be vindicated on all fronts.” The governor’s office, in a written statement to the Herald in response to the lawsuit, said: “The breathtaking level of waste, abuse, and mismanagement under NUMC’s previous leadership is an insult to taxpayers and a betrayal of the hospital’s mission. The recent revelations further validate Gov. Hochul’s decisive action to restructure the board and restore accountability to this critical safety-net institution.”

added. The internship paired students with instructors from prestigious universities, giving them the chance to receive college-level lectures and guidance. “This year, the program partnered with professors from California State University, Stony Brook University, University of Tennessee, Vassar College, and Yale University,” Francis-Taylor said. “The professors volunteered their time to work with our students because they believed in the mission that we have.” Ade showed the most interest in Aris Clemons, a University of Tennessee assistant professor who focuses on Hispanic linguistics specializing in the intersections between language, race, and identity. In Ade’s course, they discussed how people from the Dominican Republic are identified by skin color. Ade explained that in the Dominican community, skin tone often defines worth. Those with darker complexions are made to feel less valued, sometimes even told they aren’t Dominicans at all. By contrast, lighter or brown-skinned Dominicans are treated as more deserving and more accepted as part of the culture. “That’s crazy to me because all Dominicans come in different shades,” Ade said. “The African American and Dominican boundary difference presentation really stood out to me.” Each professor encouraged students to identify injustices within their schools

The program highlighted their summer experiences and plans to create change in their schools and communities. or communities and design actionable strategies to address these systemic problems. Ade said she hasn’t experienced any injustices in her own school, but she has heard different stories from other interns. In her experience, she’s faced a lack of transparency in the Uniondale district, which has cost her opportunities. “When you do find out about opportu-

nities relating to your interests, it’s either too late, or it’s not for your age group,” Ade said. And with ERASE Racism’s internship, she “wasted no time applying to it. I knew if I would have let it slip away I was probably never going to find something like this again.”
