About Councilwoman Bergin Weichbrodt

As an award-winning investigative journalist, Trish covered numerous stories that deeply affected our community, including an exposé of contaminated land on Long Island, an in-depth report on the drug problem plaguing our youth, and a moving segment on the valiant efforts of our uniformed men and women on September 11th. In addition, her hands-on experience as a street reporter brought her to the front lines of some of Islip’s most pressing issues, including runaway taxes, crime, and the need for sustainable housing.

Trish sees that the quality of life on Long Island is, in many ways, dictated by governmental decisions made on the town level. As the newest member to the Islip Town Board, Trish brings fresh ideas to Town government. For example, widening our reach of geothermal technology and solar energy are among Trish’s green energy priorities.

Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Peter King joined Long Island Teamsters Tuesday in calling for union pension shortfalls to be funded through Treasury bonds tied to the federal budget.

Schumer (D-N.Y.) and King (R-Seaford) are pushing Congress to pass the Butch Lewis Act, which would create a new office within the Treasury Department to allow pension plans to borrow for any shortfall using Treasury bonds issued by the government to sell to financial institutions. 

Schumer, the Senate minority leader, and King met with Teamsters Local 707 in Hempstead to push for the bill, which could help fund pensions for 4,500 Long Island families, including more than 3,700 retirees, Schumer said.
