Schumer Demands Suffolk County IRS Office Remain in Operation","summary":"Bethpage, NY","eventType":"chuck-around-ny","eventTypeLabel":"Chuck Around NY","date":"June 4, 2018","url":"about/chuck-around-new-york/sen-schumer-demands-suffolk-county-irs-office-remain-in-operation","city":"Bethpage","county":"Nassau","lat":40.7573741,"lng":-73.4867036,"description":"On June 4th 2018, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer revealed that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)—once again—has their sights set on Long Island when it comes to a new plan that could close one of the only two offices on the entire Island. Schumer, today, revealed specific details of the plan and said it could hurt both Suffolk and Nassau counties. Schumer stood in Nassau, where he said long lines could form if a full closure in Suffolk actually does come to pass, as he made the case directly to the IRS to keep both Long Island offices open and operating for the long haul. Both the Nassau and Suffolk IRS offices see thousands of people going and coming each and every year.\r\n“It simply boggles the mind to think that the IRS even weighed a closure of the whole Suffolk County office in the first place, and now it is disturbing to see that this very bad idea could simply be broken into drip-drip -drip phases – that deliver almost immediate job loss and taxpayer inconvenience,” said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer. “First the IRS closes Riverhead, now they are ‘consolidating’ and could very well close Hauppauge; we are talking about people having to drive 70, 80 miles for basic services and that is just ridiculous. So, my message to the IRS is a simple one: keep both the Nassau and Suffolk IRS offices open and fully operational because any and all plans to slow-walk a closure simply will not stand, and I will fight tooth and nail to prevent it from happening.”"}}
