The sun sets behind the Nassau Coliseum as Nassau County residents, already paying some of the highest property taxes in the country, vote to decide whether to back a $400 million referendum for a new hockey arena and ballpark, Monday, Aug. 1, 2011, in Uniondale, N.Y. Nassau County officials supporting the effort say the vote is needed to give officials enough time to build a replacement for the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum before the New York Islanders' lease expires in 2015.
