Letter to the Editor

Nicolosi gets his facts wrong

Posted

To the Editor:

The dingbat of Elmont is at it again. In his letter to the editor in the Jan. 5-11 (“The patronage continues”), Patrick Nicolosi accused County Executive Ed Mangano of appointing former Legislator John Ciotti to a job at Nassau University Medical Center. This would be news if it were true, but as usual, Mr. Nicolosi yells a lot but does little research.

The board at the hospital appointed Ciotti, not the county. The county has not run the day-to-day operations at the hospital for a number of years… or did Mr. Nicolosi forget when Mr. Suozzi sold those powers off in a sweetheart deal?


He also accuses the Republicans of taking care of Ciotti’s staff. As a county legislator, Mr. Ciotti had one secretary. Whole lot of staff to take care of there, Pat. People like Patrick Nicolosi are just out there to cause trouble. Haven’t we moved beyond that type of stupidity?
