ISSUES

- He cited a proposed $220 million luxury housing project in Kings Park that requires a zoning change as a concern, saying, "By changing the zoning, the density becomes unreasonable and it opens Pandora’s box for two other parcels near that project."
- Black said he's a proponent of term limits in elected office.
