Democrat lawyer prepares to challenge Donnelly for Nassau DA

                                                                              

From Aloise Linked in Post



A female Democratic lawyer backed by former Democratic Congresswoman and former Nassau District Attorney Kathleen Rice is trying to gather support to make a run against Republican District Attorney Anne Donnelly next year.

Nicole Aloise, the daughter of a prominent New York City judge,  has a fundraiser scheduled  tomorrow night at the Garden City home of developer Peter Florey, president of the New York State Builders Association. Tickets range from in price from $250 to $20,000.

Aloise says in a post announcing her campaign on Linked In that she has been a prosecutor in both the Nassau and Queens District Attorney offices. A quick internet search shows no other runs for political office or political activities.

Donnelly, of Garden City,  was relatively unknown in 2021 when she defeated then State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Long Beach Democrat, for the  District Attorney's seat vacated by Madeline Singas, who was appointed to New York's top court, the Court of Appeals. Donnelly had served 32 years as a prosecutor in the Nassau DA's office.

Aloise father, Michael Aloise, is a Queens Supreme Court judge, perhaps best known for presiding over the 2019 murder trial of Chanel Lewis, who was convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering Howard Beach jogger Karina Vetrano, in 2016.

Aloise says in her lengthy announcement post that she has secured convictions in several notorious cases, including 20 years to life for a man who stabbed to death a  Roman Catholic deacon at a half-way house in Roosevelt in 2017.

CSEA retirees file suit to stop new contract insurance change (Updated)

Image
Civil Service Employee Association retirees today were in court attempting to stop a change in health insurance included in a new union contract scheduled to take effect Jan.1. The "Nassau Retirees Legal Fund" and eight other CSEA employees argue in a class action lawsuit filed today against Nassau and County Executive Bruce Blakeman in Nassau Supreme Court that they face  " imminent and irreparable medical, emotional, and financial harm because the County intends to deprive them of promised health benefits in 2024." The new contract negotiated between the union and Republican County Executive Bruce Blakeman and ratified by members in August changes the health insurance from New York's Empire plan -- which provides platinum coverage -- to the New York Excelsior plan. The Excelsior plan is more costly for union members but less expensive for the county.  Update:  The state, meanwhile, has increased rates for the Excelsior plan -- in come cases by more than 40 pe

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.
