Candidates and press releases for Nassau Feb. 28 special election.

Photos have been distributed and press releases issued for both candidates in Nassau's special election for the 19th District county legislative seat -- vacant since Jan. 1 when Republican Steve Rhoads took office as a new state senator.

The election is Feb. 28, less than three weeks away. So its about time voters were told who the candidates are.

The Republican is Michael Giangregorio, a J.P. Morgan vice president.

The Democratic candidate is Robert Miles, counsel to Democratic county legislators and former deputy assessor/deputy county attorney.

Here are the two press releases from the two parties. Make up your own mind on what to believe. The GOP release is first because it was issued first:

                                                                                   



Now here is the Democratic release:
                                                                               

                                                                                 




The 19th legislative District is considered a Republican district, but with the uproar over Republican Congressman George Santos lying about his background, nobody knows what voters will do on Feb. 28.

      Robert Miles literally works for the government. He is the definition of crony. Giangregrio is an outsider and new blood.

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....
