NEW YORK: Suffolk collects $300M in health violations annually - (newsday.com)
April 11, 2008 – 8:47 pmFood-borne illnesses have been trending downward statewide, but violations of safety standards in public eateries are still so prevalent that Suffolk County collects $300 million annually in fines.

Federal health investigators focused on 10 states, including New York, and found the illnesses have not declined significantly compared with the previous three years.
