Suffolk County legislators on Wednesday shelved a plan for a major expansion of wastewater treatment that would have included a sales tax increase to pay for it.
Members of the county legislature, where Republicans hold a majority, voted largely along party lines to stall proposals to consolidate the county's 27 sewer districts and advance a voter referendum on a .125% tax increase.
