  Olena Nicks is the Democrat running in the Nassau Legis. District 2 election Feb. 25 to replace former county legislator Siela Bynoe. A Westbury Democrat, Bynoe was elected to the state senate last November. But the outcome really isn't in doubt. District 2 is a solid Democratic district. It includes Westbury, Uniondate and portions of Hempstead Village. So far, no Republican candidate has been announced. Undoubtedly Nassau Republicans will nominate someone to run, someone who will take on the hopeless race to accumulate goodwill points toward some future GOP post. Nicks has performed her own suicide missions in the past, running and losing to then-Republican Hempstead Town clerk Kate Murray* and Republican Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin. She is owed an easy race. Nicks, of Unondale, has been active in her community and is a longtime member of the Uniondale Fire Department. But will she concentrate on the same issues as Bynoe?

Singh reported to federal prison in Otisville, NY on Friday. He originally was supposed to begin serving his four-year sentence last January but received several unexplained extensions. Otisville, according to the Chicago Tribune,  has tennis courts, horseshoes, cardio equipment  "and it sounds like the closest thing the federal prison system has to sleepaway camp." Singh pleaded guilty to bribing town officials and Republican County Executive Edward Mangano from 2010 throug...
