Here are the top four stories today in Shirley-Mastic:

1. Executive Steve Bellone announced the redesign plan of the Suffolk County Transit Bus System. The action will provide a more efficient service for residents who depend on public transportation in Long Island.

From our sponsor:

Are you a Shirley-Mastic resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market? Consider fine art. Masterworks is the award-winning platform helping 575,000+ invest in works by the same world-renowned artists that are coveted by ultra-wealthy collectors and major museums alike (think Picasso, Basquiat, and Banksy.) Masterworks splits these multi-million dollar works into shares, so you can invest without breaking the bank.

Contemporary art has outpaced the stock market by a whopping 131% over the last 26 years. Seven of Masterworks’ eight sold paintings gave their investors a +17.8% net returns*.
