On January 31, 2017, Joseph Saladino was sworn into office as the 70th Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor and immediately took action to increase governmental accountability, transparency and integrity.

Prior to serving as Town Supervisor, Joseph Saladino served residents in the New York State Assembly for six terms where he was one of the original sponsors of – and approved – New York State’s Property Tax Cap and STAR Rebate Checks.

Joseph has served as Town of Oyster Bay supervisor since being sworn into office in 2017. He previously served six terms in the New York State Assembly from 2004 to 2017.

Supervisor Saladino kept his pledge to residents by cutting property taxes in 2018 and freezing property taxes in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. As a result, nearly $10.4 million is back into the pockets of homeowners rather than the coffers of government.

To further protect the checkbooks of residents, Supervisor Saladino instilled fiscal discipline and landmark reforms that together have laid the groundwork for our future. Without raising property taxes, his administration turned an operating deficit into a multi-million-dollar surplus. A commitment to restricting long-term borrowing, along with fiscally sound policies and conservative budgeting principles, has helped decrease the Town’s debt by a historic $185 million – the largest reduction of debt in Town history.

Economy

Supervisor Saladino has worked tirelessly to deliver critical services – especially during the COVID-19 public health pandemic. Services were never slowed nor stopped during the pandemic; instead, services were enhanced to collect food for individuals in need of assistance and blood donations for local hospitals.

Additionally, the New York State Comptroller’s Office entirely removed the Town of Oyster Bay from its fiscal stress monitoring list. This financial turnaround was accomplished while also increasing services, upgrading parks, and repaving over 40% of town roadways.

Public Services

Affordable housing is a key issue, and Saladino said he opposes high-rise, high-density developments. “The answer is not high-rise housing,” he said, citing the costs of infrastructure like sewage and water service, roads and schools. “I support redevelopment in sensible places.”

His ongoing commitment to the environment remains steadfast in his role as Town Supervisor, where he continues environmental initiatives aimed at protecting the Town’s natural resources and drinking water, including its miles of pristine waterways, open space and wildlife refuges on both the North and South Shores. At the same time, Supervisor Saladino has launched quality of life initiatives to tear down zombie homes, improved parks and beaches, and also significantly increased funding for road repaving.

A strong advocate for the environment and safe drinking water, Joseph Saladino has led the fight for the complete hydraulic containment and remediation of the Grumman-Navy plume. As a State Assemblyman, he authored and passed milestone legislation to begin the state’s process of cleaning up the largest and most highly-concentrated plume of dangerous chemicals in a sole source aquifer anywhere in the nation.

Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board this week extended by an additional six-months the construction moratorium on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in the Town of Oyster Bay. The moratorium was first approved in April 2024. “While battery energy storage systems can help us make a greener earth, they pose potential safety risks for the community,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Multiple fires at these facilities in New York State have highlighted the dangers and raised concerns over public safety and the risk to our first responders.”

“While a recent report from New York State indicates initial findings that show BESS facilities have limited long-term impacts to health, safety and the environment, it’s prudent for additional investigations and reviews be conducted before considering any applications for such a facility in the Town of Oyster Bay,” added Supervisor Saladino.

As a state assemblymember, authored legislation that passed and began the state process to clean up the Grumman-Navy chemical plume.

Called for additional investigation and review before Oyster Bay considers applications for battery energy storage facilities, citing potential safety risks.
