Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, a first-term Democrat running for re-election this November, today rectified a campaign team oversight from last week. Curran held a news conference calling on the Republican-controlled county legislature to approve her plan to give direct  $375 cash payments in federal Cares Act money to each of about 400,000 county households. That $375 "is not peanuts," Curran said. And she introduced potential recipients, who said what the payments would mean to them. This was in response to Bruce Blakeman, Curran's Republican opponent, who issued a video campaign commercial a week ago dismissing the $375 payments as  "peanuts."   Curran's campaign team last week distrib

                                                                                  Oceanside Sanitary District 7 Aug. 16 meeting from YouTube                                                                                     You have to agree with Austin Graff, chairman of the Oceanside Sanitary District 7, who is running for re-election next year. He says the district's budget discussion was transparent and posted on YouTube. "We showed you how the budget was made and where the numbers came from," Graff posted on his "Austin Graff for Oceanside Sanitation Commissioner" Facebook page. "We are not hiding anything from the taxpayers..." He's right. The commissioners say outright that they need to raise taxes this year to avoid raising taxes next year when Graff is running for re-election.  Elected officials for decades have known this truth. They raise taxes when they are not running so they can hold the line, or even lower the levy, in the years the

                                                                                   Anti-Kaminsky mailer paid for by the New York Republican State Committee It's almost September when election campaigns heat up. But the Republican campaign against Democrat Todd Kaminsky for Nassau District Attorney is already hot. The above mailer arrived at some households today. Law-and-order is the main issue in the campaign to replace former Nassau District Attorney Madeline Singas, who was appointed to the state Court of Appeals in June. State Sen. Todd Kaminsky of Long Beach, a former federal and state prosecutor, is running against Republican Anne Donnelly of Garden City, a 32-year prosecutor in Nassau's district attorney office. A Siena Research Institute poll last month identified crime as the top concern among likely voters, reflecting the surge in crime around the county amid calls to defund the police. Kaminsky was first out of the gate campaigning, with the slogan "A prosecu

                                                             Cuomo's Farewell Email                                                                                                                                                             As of today, Andrew Cuomo is no long New York's governor. He told us he was leaving at a news conference two weeks ago after denying sexual harassment allegations. He told us again at several subsequent appearances, again during a farewell address yesterday and in an email to supporters last night. So what do the Long Island big donors and Cuomo cronies do now? Where do they put their money, allegiance and influence? We're talking about big donors such as real estate developer Scott Rechler, one of Democrat Cuomo's largest donors, who contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Cuomo directly or through family members and companies. Cuomo appointed him to the MTA Board and earlier to the Port Authority Board. Scott Rechler from tw
