View Full Version : WHO DO THE DEMS RUN
Line of Sight

OK, now that the GOP has named Kate Murray as their incumbent to run for Town Supervisor, Who do the Dems run for supervisor and then clerk. It is not as if the Dems have a huge cache of candidates readty to go.
Newsday's article last week was ridiculous. Denenberg is nevr going to run for Town Supervisor, nor is Toback. Their seats in the Legislature are far too important to the Dems to risk them for a chance at a Town Seat. \\
Dorothy Goosby makes some sense, but she is not a proven vote getter outside her community, and she is also not the brightest bulb in the shop. She would however be able to raise some money, and that would allow the Dems to save a few bucks that they might otherwise have to spend. Still, I don't see it.
The BOE and OTB are filled with Dems who are ready to run, and perhaps the candidate for Town Clerk will come from there/ I don't see the Dems running an OTBer or BOEer for the top spot, in a race that they have even a slim shot of winning. Names Please?

how about Bill Geier? Former Mayor of Lynbrook, and is seen around town with Tom Suozzi. Also, as a former and respected Republican he can still tap into the traditional sources of funding.

Bill would be an excellent choice. I am a Republican and like Bill. I see him representing Suozzi all over the place.

Love the man, and he would do a great job, if elected. However, he has lots and lots of enemies waiting to throw loads and loads of sh*t at him. The Local papers were filled with fodder and no doubt that bs will be resurrected.

Geier's offense was the same as Cairo's except it involved a lot less money, no one was harmed, and if I'm right he used it to pay medical bills for a family member. He comingled funds. In other words, he used a few thousand dollars in escrow funds as if they were his own, but then he replaced the funds so noone was harmed.
In most other professions, this would be a bookkeeping error and would result in a fine. However, in the world of law, it is a cardinal sin, and invariably results in a loss of one's license. Most would agree, that it is a punishment that does not fit the offense, but it is a necessary deterrent and required so that clients have faith in the escrow system. IF YOU ARE GOING TO THROW STONES AT BILL GEIER, YOU BETTER BE AIMING BIGGER STONES AT CAIRO.

Forget it. Again, with people who switch parties, they don't have that much support.
Not only that, but the Geier was given a pity job by Suozzi, that Suozzi was actually hoping he would reject. He didn't, so now Suozzi feels stuck with him.

Very few people worked harder for Suozzi than Bill Geier. He was there all the time. He proved himself over and over again, and was instrumental in putting together a strong organization in Hempstead. If Geier would take on upcoming TOH races, not as a candidate but as an organizer and analyst, there will be a lot of suprises come November. This is a very talented guy, that the GOP cast aside.

He is suozzi's little pet. Does Suozzi's bidding. He will do whatever it takes to survive. He has had a tough situation. What he does not realize is that other people have too. He gets rid of anyone who thinks for themselves, by telling untruths to the "Big Guy". In January 2002, one woman began working with him, she ran as fast as she could across the hall. He couldn't have a strong woman working with him, let alone a young woman with a mind of her own. He continues to do the same as long as Souzzi will listen to him. Nice life huh, your boss feels sorry for you so he keeps you on, even though he was hoping you would go away. If Geir thinks that this isn't true, he should hear what is said about him in the halls, ladies rooms, men's rooms, but more importantly what was said by the "big guy' himself. Does he think JJ is his friend? Oh! No! another mistake. I guess being disbarred leaves little room in the market place, take what you can.

Tell me, how effective was he at organizing his own electoral defeat?
Here's the scoop -
Geier went to school with Suozzi's brother, who died three years ago. That is the connection.
Now, when the CE race was winding down, Geier made it clear that he couldn't take a job for less than $75,000. Suozzi knew this and offered him $60,000. He took it, much to TS dismay.
Bill did an EXCELLENT job at organizing Hempstead - without a doubt. However, Bruce Bent and the Hempstead Republicans' attitude toward him had far more to do with Suozzi's success there.
Getting back to running for office, no one, and I mean no one who has been disbarred will be elected to public office in Nassau. Maybe that's not fair, considering the offense, but that's life.

It's hard to criticize Bill for things that he did in the past, when he was under great familial pressure. The amount of money was minimal: it was reimbursed, and no one was hurt. There was no extortion nor was their an "escroll" account. What Bill did was a technical violation of a lawyers canon, and he paid the ultimate price - the loss of his license. Joe Cairo did far worse, and he is still a GOP leader.
Anyhow, Bill has made amends, is a hard worker, and frankly is someone that I've come to trust.
We are a society that believes in redemption. A coke user can become president, as can a drunk driver. (George W. Bush) For this reason, noone is all that upset that Peter Schmitt is still an office holder, even though he has his pink elephants to battle. What matters is what peopld do between the lines, and Bill Geier does an excellent job. He may not be a viable candidate for us, but he is a far better person than most in Mineola and his is a man of integrity, albeit one who has made mistakes in the past.

Sooner or later, we Democrats always say the same thing, and demonstrate how little we differ from the Republicans. When they empower a thief like Cairo, we jusfiably condemn them. When we do for the likes of a Geier, or Williams, we faintly condemn it, but then say, in essence, that "the Republicans do the same and worse."
We used to be able to hold our heads up in the public debate by saying that we were better than they were. I suppose it took exposure to power to prove that we were wrong.
All in all, it's quite sad.

In this county, on is presumed innocent until proven guilty, Geier was found guilty by a tribunal of his piers and his license was revocked, you just don't get it. he's a tainted person and only has himself to blame.
The differance between Cairo and Geier is, Bill got cought, Joe did not.

Geier was never tried by a jury of his peers. He was disbarred by the Appellate Division. I presume he took it that far (rather than resign like Cairo), because the amount involved was so minimal and their were extenuating circumstances, that leniency was possible. With Cairo there was no hope.
I don't condone what Bill did, or what Williams did, or what Cairo did, or what Bush did or what Schmitt does.
People are fallible,and some but not all people can change. In Bill's case, I think that he has suffered enough for what he did: In Williams case, I don't think so. With Cairo, I understand that there was a lot of money involved - not so with Geier. I'm not trying to excuse what Bill did, by comparing him to others. Its just that I understand and I think he's a good guy.

The current Commissioner of Motor Vehicles has a DWI conviction. He paid his debt and is now a decent public servant. The same is true for many others.
Get a life and get off his back. Other than sitting in judgement, what do you do for the people? How do you fill up your pathetic lives?

Give Geier a break, he paid the price for his actions, if you want to talk about improprieties and the real bad guy's, lets not forget who was in office at the time of the Mitchell Field Lease debackle, Where long term lease contracts were given out for ten cents on a dollar to Rep. party faithfulls, and all the kick backs that were received by Rep. officials at the time. An investigation was preformed by Dennis Dillon office and a 244 page report confirmed that the cumulitive rent losses will cost the taxpayers 2.77 billion dollars over the life of the leases.
One of the most lucrative leases negotiated was the one between Nassau County and UPS, Al Damato was the Town of Hempstead Supervisor at the time and did all the negotiations for UPS. This lease alone will cost the taxpayers in Nassau County over 250 million dollars according to Dillons report.

Someone started this post suggesting Geir for Sup of hempstead. Then people actually question his background and credentials. Suddenly it turns ito, "well the GOP is worse" with allegations agains Cairo and a alleged report from over 10 years ago. This all being done to avert attention from the fact that Geir has to much baggage, and is not a good choice.
Nice guy, lots of baggage.
