Are you feeling the weight of high property taxes in Nassau County? You're not alone. I'm Hilary Topper, and welcome to Hilary Topper on Air. Today, we're tackling a topic affecting many Long Islanders: the assessment grievance process. Jeff Gold, a partner at The Gold Law Firm, P.C., will join me to help us understand how to challenge property tax assessments and potentially save thousands of dollars. Here are the questions I asked Jeff about the Nassau County Tax Assessment Grievance Process: So, Jeff, welcome to the show! Could you start by sharing your background and The Gold Law Firm for our listeners? Long Island is known for its high property taxes, which fund essential community services. But no one wants to pay more than their fair share. How does The Gold Law Firm assist homeowners in challenging property tax assessments? Can you explain the process to someone who has never filed an assessment grievance and why it's an essential step for property owners? Many homeowners may feel their property valuation is inaccurate but hesitate to act. Should they file a grievance anyway, and how does it help ensure a fair assessment? Navigating the grievance process can feel overwhelming. How challenging is it for homeowners to file independently, and how does your firm help make it easier? Is hiring an attorney for this process expensive, or does the potential savings outweigh the cost? I understand you've created a Facebook group to help homeowners stay informed about the grievance process. Can you share more about what people can expect from the group and how it serves as a resource? Finally, Jeff, how can those interested in filing a grievance or learning more about The Gold Law Firm and your Facebook group reach you? For more information about Jeff Gold and the Gold Law Firm: Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/389792057856742 Grieve Your Assessments: https://www.thegoldlawfirmpc.com/services/grieve-your-assessment/ The Gold Law Firm: https://www.thegoldlawfirmpc.com/

The 1970s were a tough decade for the New York Jets. After winning the Super Bowl in 1969, they quickly became the laughing stock in the NFL, unable to post a single winning season throughout the decade. But in 1981, four promising young defensive lineman changed everything. Mark Gastineau, Adbul Salaam, Marty Lyons and Joe Klecko became such a prolific force on the Jets defense that they earned the moniker ‘The New York Sack Exchange'. These players are the subject of the newest ESPN 30 for 30 Film 'The New York Sack Exchange' which debuted last Friday, and is available right now on ESPN +. Today Rich Cimini, a Jets beat reporter for ESPN, and a lifelong Long Islander, gives host David Dennis Jr. the inside scoop on the New York Sack Exchange. He describes the interpersonal tension that brewed alongside their incredible success on the field, and explores a legacy that persists to this day. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we are talking about a rare condition, FOXG1.  This  syndrome is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a mutation in the FOXG1 gene. FOXG1 gene is one of the first and most important genes for early brain development and when impaired, causes cognitive and physical disabilities as well as medical complexities including epilepsy. Every child born with FOXG1 syndrome is unique as FOXG1 manifests as a spectrum where symptoms and severity vary between individuals. Our patient data shows characteristics of children with FOXG1 syndrome include: nonverbal, non-ambulatory, experience seizures, feeding problems, cortical vision impairment, movement disorders, and developmental delays. Less-severely-affected FOXG1 children often present with (ASD) Autism Spectrum Disorder as FOXG1 is an autism related gene. FOXG1 syndrome is found equally among both females and males and is geographically more prevalent where diagnostic testing is more advanced.

This journey has opened Ilissa's eyes to the experiences of countless other families who struggle each day, and despite her own anguish, Ilissa endeavored to create a platform for mothers of kids with special needs to build community and offer support. ​She has appeared on the Today show, in People magazine, and a host of other outlets profiling her efforts. A native Long Islander, Ilissa previously worked in fashion at notable brands Tibi, Free People, Splendid, and Alternative Apparel. She studied business in college at The George Washington University. She lives in Port Washington with her husband, Scott, and their three children. ​ When asked: 'What has enabled you to be successful?' she responded- “I always aspire to be a good role model for my children.
