The most controversial part of the plan is to sell the 300-bed John J. Foley Nursing Home in Yaphank. Levy says the county operates the nursing home at a $12 million annual loss. But Cheryl Felice, the president of Suffolk's Association of Municipal Employees, said her union is strongly opposed to any sale.
Felice adds the union may also oppose early retirement offers, because it cuts a staff that's already on the brink of destruction.
