Long Island's greatest minds have spent decades deliberating over our region's problems, yet little has been accomplished. We put together a panel of experts to discover what must be done right now, or if it is indeed too late. KOMINICKI: So you are all aware of the problems: declining manufacturing base; overlapping governments; expensive schools and too many of them; rising taxes that are a crushing burden on more and more Long Islanders; a lack of affordable housing; young adults leaving the Island; the need for more intra-island transportation; and the need for more energy sources and more conservation.
