The Community Alliance: State Should Fully Fund Public Education More fodder for the media, raw meat for the disloyal opposition, and yet another fearless, if but feeble stab to inoculate us from the plague that is upon all of our houses -- the school property tax. Nassau County Exec Tom Suozzi, whose re-election is still up for grabs, and may be for weeks (if only they could count faster at...

Wow will this be an upset in the making. Suozzi who I supported in the Primary against Spitzer down right now by 497 votes. I supported him until he told me he would never vote for a Republican. At that point I knew he was just a hack, a party hack. Why should Party affiliation [...]

An interesting analysis by Tom Suozzi , the Nassau County Executive who appears to be losing his bid for re-election despite what seemed to be a guaranteed win: Suozzi is the strongest of three Democrats in the New York suburbs -- Corzine and Spano are the others -- who had bad election nights, and an official whose gift was always his connection to ordinary voters. I asked him, from...

Re: The November 2009 Nassau County Executive race, which — in an upset for incumbent, Democrat, higher-office-seeking Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi — was too close to call! The Board of Elections tally is here. As of Tuesday, Nov 10th at noon, it only shows the unofficial, election night results. (excerpt from) Long Island Press Mangano Leads [...]

On Long Island, the race for Nassau County executive is too close call. Incumbent Democrat Tom Suozzi was expected to win by 10 points but right now – with 99 percent of the precincts counted – he holds just a 415-point lead over Republican Edward Mangano. In all some 235,000 votes were cast.

In a conference call with reporters this afternoon, Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi blamed his near-loss on a combination of voters' anti-incumbent sentiment and anger over property taxes. Suozzi, who is hanging to his job by a 237-vote threat at the moment, said he intends to "stick this process out to the end." He said he is "neither optimistic nor pessimistic,"...

You May Just Get It When the counting is finally over at the Nassau County Board of Elections (do you think they use fingers as well as toes'), Ed Mangano may just be Nassau's next County Executive. Who would have thunk it? Certainly not Tom Suozzi, the pundits, the pollsters, or the Nassau County Democratic Committee. No matter. It is what it is. The question now to be asked, what will it become...

Kari Farrell finds Utah jail "Orwellian." Coney Island will still have the "Las Vegas element," says Joe Sitt. New book be damned: passengers still think Sully had skills. Tom Suozzi thought he was a "shoo-in." Jon Corzine hasn't talked to Bank of America. They're still counting in NY-23? Jets quarterback went to Medieval Times for his birthday yesterday: "Best...

This morning I spoke with Ed Mangano, the Republican candidate for County Executive in Long Island’s Nassau County. Mangano has already put a tremendous scare into 8-year incumbent Democrat Tom Suozzi, who was expected to stroll to re-election. And while votes are still being counted, it looks like Mangano will pull off the win. Coming in one of America’s largest counties, a victory...

... Democrats last week, including Westchester County Executive Andy Spano. Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi could also lose once absentee ballots are counted. New York property taxes are already so astronomical, they were a major factor in driving Yours Truly out of the state. But the money has to come from somewhere — unless of course bureaucrats reduce the size of government. But that would...

... ouster of Democratic Westchester County Executive Andy Spano and Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi's still-possible loss all bode extremely well for the Senate minority's chances of re-taking the majority next fall. There were also Republican successes, albeit slightly less high-profile, in Monroe , Erie and Onondaga counties, Skelos noted, all of which are home to marginal Democrats who...
