Curran announces new gig

                                                                                  



Looks like former Nassau County Executive Laura Curran got the  on-air NYC job she was looking for when her county term expired Dec. 31 --  after the Democrat lost her bid for re-election to Republican Bruce Blakeman.

Curran tweeted today: "Check out my new podcast!" 

Sure enough. Curran's "Cut to the Chase" is listed among one of  Talk Radio 77 WABC podcasts.

The radio station says Curran's first podcast is with former Newsday reporter, Gus Garcia-Roberts, now with the Washington Post, who wrote a book about former Suffolk cop James Burke, " Jimmy the King: Murder, Vice and the Reign of a Dirty Cop."

According to "Linked In", "The station’s on-air lineup includes some of the biggest names in media and politics, including Mark Levin, John Batchelor, Rudy Giuliani, Bill O’Reilly, Bernard McGuirk and Sid Rosenberg, Curtis Sliwa and Juliet Huddy, Brian Kilmeade, and Frank Morano. In addition, 77 WABC is the home of the Cats Roundtable with John Catsimatidis. WABC began broadcasting in 1921 and is one of the leading talk stations in America. WABC is owned by Red Apple Media, a subsidiary of Red Apple Group. 

Along with a flurry of radio appearances after she lost,  Curran sought advice from media-savvy Republicans and Democrats about how to land an on-air job at a New York City television or radio station, sources said in January.

It appears she heeded their advice.

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

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....
