After the disastrous move by Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano and the Legislature’s Republican majority to close half of the police precincts in the county, the Democratic caucus was successful in pushing Mangano’s back against the wall so that he gave us a signed guarantee that there wouldn’t be one less patrol car in any neighborhood.

On Tuesday, I am voting for Gary Port to be my next supervisor. I am voting for Gary because as a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army, and a family man, he understands the words sacrifice, honor and loyalty.

Jim Darcy is the most concerned politician when it comes to Valley Stream and other council districts. He was brought up right here and attended school here. Whatever decision he makes is carefully and fully thought through. He does not leave any stone unturned.
