Nassau DPW crew pulls down Goosby sign; but not Curran or Kaminsky signs

Don't know who took this video, which was being sent around the internet Satuday night. Or when it was taken. Though I am told it happened in Uniondate.

But it looks like it is a Nassau County Department of Public Works truck, with two people inside the cab, that pulls up next to campaign signs hanging on a fence.

One of the two men inside the truck cab gets out and pulls down a campaign sign for Dorothy Goosby, a Hempstead Town Councilwoman running for re-election on Tuesday.

The other man loads it into the back of the DPW truck.

Then the first man walks ahead and the other man gets back into the truck and drives off ---leaving up campaign signs for County Executive Laura Curran, who is also running for re-election on Tuesday. They also leave up a sign for Todd Kaminsky, a state senator who is running for Nassau district attorney on Tuesday.

Goosby, Curran and Kaminsky are all Democrats.

Goosby, a civil rights icon in the Town of Hempstead, endorsed Curran.

Curran on March 12 tweeted, "I'm proud to announce that I have been endorsed by civil rights pioneer Senior Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby. 

Why did the men take down Goosby's sign and leave up the other two Democrats' signs?


There seems to be only one difference among them.


Here is a link to the video, which has changed:

Nassau CSEA contract deal -- talk of the county for two days -- finally announced (UPDATED)

Image
Talk around Nassau County for the past two days has been that Republican County Executive Bruce Blakeman had struck a new labor agreement, signed Monday, with the county's largest union, the Nassau Civil Service Employees Association. The CSEA, which include most non-law enforcement county employees, has been working without a contract since the end of 2017. As of June, there were 3,359 fulltime CSEA members. An announcement went out late today but it didn't say much: A spokesman for Republican County Executive Bruce Blakeman did not respond to an email today asking when the CSEA deal would be announced. Everyone is looking at the CSEA because exempt employees -- county workers who are hired and fired at will -- traditionally are given the same benefits as the union members. But the exempts are not happy with some of the rumors about the agreement: one is that the CSEA will take a lesser health insurance plan in return for an upfront payment, perhaps of $1,500, for each member....
