Expect chaos at the Coliseum this week

Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale

                                                                               

Be prepared to hunker down, residents of Salisbury, East Meadow and Uniondale. 

Traffic will be a nightmare on Wednesday afternoon around the Nassau Coliseum.

Three political rallies are planned:

Former Republican President Donald Trump, who is running again for president this November, , will be be speaking at 7 p.m. inside the arena. 

Nassau Republican Chairman Joseph Cairo called an emergency meeting of GOP leaders last week to help prepare for the event.                                          


                          

Outside the Coliseum, Legis. Carrie Solages, an Elmont Democrat of Haitian descent, has called for a 3 p.m. rally to "end hate" against Haitians and migrants. He cited Trump's allegations during last weeks debate between Trump and Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris, who is seeking to be elected president in November, that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating pet dogs and cats. 

                                                                       



And then today, Nassau Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs emailed supporters to rally against Trump at 4 p.m. Wednesday outside the Coliseum  to "show Republicans that Long Island is NO place for Donald Trump..."

The pet eating allegations are getting the most publicity, with various spoofs and songs appearing all over the internet. 

"In Springfield, the people that came in. They're eating the dogs, they're eatng the cats. they're eating the pets of the people that live there," Trump said.

 Some claim Trump's allegations are racist. But one of the main sources of the claims is a video of testimony before the Springfield City Council from a black man alleging that Haitians are killing ducks in city parks and eating them. 

                                           


                                                                                     
It's anti-migrant anger,  not racist hate.

Delivering 20,000 migrants to a struggling rust belt city of 58,000, like Springfield, will create anger. Why weren't the Haitians sent to the tony Hamptons or the wealthy enclave on Martha's Vineyard? Both would be much better equipped to handle them.

And it should be noted that desperate people do desperate things. Even Ernest Hemingway admitted in the Moveable Feast that when he was struggling and starving in Paris,  he used to kill pigeons for dinner.

It's one thing to kill dogs and cats just for sake of killing them, which shows an evil soul. But to kill pets and wildlife to eat is a sign of desperation, not wickedness.

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.

                                                                               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 vac
