New Hyde Park

[New Parker]

So What's the word - is it true the next CE's coming from there?

What's the word Jake?

[Mayor]

Whispers have it that Warren Tackenberg will be considered. How about dem apples.

[GOOD CHOICE]

WASN'T IT ALSO RUMORED THAT ONE OF THE LAWYERS WHO WAS PACKED UP AND READY TO JET PLANE IT OUT TO OHIO ON BUSH'S COMMAND IF LAWSUITS HAD TO BE FILED DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IS IN FOR A LOCAL CLUB REWARD BECAUSE OF THE REAL STRONG TIES HE NOW HAS TO WASHINGTON AND ALL THOSE TIES COULD DO TO HELP LONG ISLAND OVER THE NEXT THE 4 YEARS, PARTICULARLY IF PATAKI TAKES BACK THE GOVERNORSHIP.

[Heard that too]

I heard that too - it's a New Hyde Park attorney.

[Wally]

Tackenberg doesn't happen to be a lawyer does he?

[Anwser man]

No, don't think so. Not a lawyer. Tackenberg is one guy and I think this lawyer fellow they are chatting about is another guy. Or gal. You never do know. WHO it is I don't know but NHP is together with some other town - Franklin Square maybe - so could also be coming from there although I haven't heard anything coming up FS in a long while.

[FS CLUB]

It's not Franklyn Square. We have our own club.

[Winthrop]

No, Warren Tackenberg is not an attorney, he was a supervisor in private bysiness who then ran for Mayor Of New Hyde Park, then he caused a problem by attempting to raise taxes by 37.5% in a single year. He was awarded the post as Executive Director Of The Nassau County Village Officials. Now you know what they do to Mayors who try to screw their constituents. I offer Former Mayor Trudden as an example. Mineola's John Colbert will also fine out to his everlasting sorry, and Glacken from Freeport will be next I am sure.

[Buck Smith]

winthrop, you are exactly correct! They are all a bunch of political pricks!

[37% tax increase?]

He should have been County Executive in 2001 - it still would have been cheaper than what Suozzi brought on.

John DeGrace is in charge of the club in Franklyn Square and Ed Powers or his mother are in charge of the club in New Hyde Park. They are not the same club. New Hyde Park might be aligned with some Floral Park Village though. It is aligned with somewhere else. I know it's not Garden City.

If Tackenberg is not the Mayor anymore - who is?

No more tax increase from anybody at anytime. The quality of life over the last 3 years is wretched and with this inflationary period we're likely to hit soon, one more increase is likely to have a Tsunami effect here in Nassau County.

Suozzi the Tsunami. Hey there's a catchy title.

[Not Garden City]

It's not Garden City but it's Stewart Manor which is an incorporated village of Garden City. That's where the meetings are held. It's the Stewart Manor - New Hyde Park Club.

[Wally]

Ok already - so who'se the possible candidate coming from Stewart Manor - New Hyde Park? I'm all a teether now. It's funny though because if you look at all these village postings, everyone thinks it's their club that has the next county executive sitting in it. I guess he has to come from somewhere doesn't he?

[Not from the County Seat]

Well, you know he's not coming from Mineola - snicker snicker

[Early to Rise]

Early to bed - 4 years is bedtime for Suozzi. No, the next County Executive isn't coming from Glen Cove either. Maybe Suozzi can run for NYC Mayor ? It would give him the exposure he so dearly needs and hell - he's already got most of the city people on his payroll already anyway.

[Ignorant]

I hate to sound ignorant but where is Stewart Manor? Who are the heavyweights that come from there?

[Heavyweight]

Stewart Manor is an affluent little village tucked just to the Southwest of Garden City proper, touching New Hyde Park, Franklyn Square and Floral Park on the other 3 corners - Troiano is the Mayor and I believe Williams comes from there too.

[Jurisdiction]

It's Muscarella's jurisdiction - and he'd never run for CE b/c he's a shoe-in for Legislator. It's a GOP town.

[Still got juice]

Say what you want but the village still has juice. When one their own lawyers lost a law secretary job because her judge didn't get re-elected, they moved mountains, literally, to find her work within days. In order to place her with a judge, they got the JUDGE, moved from a lower court to a higher court so she would have employment. Now don't tell me the patronage mobile is dead in GOP ville.

[Next Meeting - Jan 26]

If you want the dirt on the club, why don't you just join us for coffee and dirt? The next meeting happens to be tomorrow, January 26 at 7:30 - Stewart Manor Firehouse - intersection of Covert & Tulip Avenue. Every last Wednesday of the month is a meeting. Same time, same place.

[365 views]

You'd think somebody would have posted something saying that the meeting was cancelled. Apparently, it's every last Wednesday in the month except for the months where they post there is going to be a meeting! And then they wonder where all the soldiers have gone to!

[Fresh Blood]

Maybe they just aren't interested in fresh blood. The meeting place isn't actually Tulip & Covert either - those are the closest main streets but the firehouse is actually located at Covert & Chester - by the traffic light across from Key Food. Check with Angela first though if you aren't already a club member. Looks like East Meadow is holding the next County Executive but TOH still has a stong place in Greg's heart anyway & he's going to need alot of people to help get the vote out for November - regardless of club membership.

[Standing Strong]

Stewart Manor raises enough money in parking tickets alone to stand independently. I read in the Manorite that 350 tickets were given out in the village by it's code enforcement cops in one month. That's like a ticket per resident. Since the villagers pay the code enforcement salary - that's like every resident giving himself a ticket once a month. Wouldn't it be cheaper and less aggravating if we just made a donation? The NCPD gave out another 3 parking tickets and 6 traffic tickets - which is also alot considering the village consists of like 25 blocks - if it's that big. Maybe if Troiano did something to get parking near the STEWART MANOR railroad - it might help. Garden City's argument that if they let us park there, neighboring villages would want to park there - is crap. What neighboring village would that be? Franklyn Square? Instead, the FS people park all over Stewart Manor and walk - the same as we have to - to our own LIRR station - the only one anywhere near the village. What say you Mayor?

[A Town Split in Two]

Tom Suozzi was unwelcome at the New Hyde Park town meeting he gave, and seemed genuinely shocked at the fact that the New Hyde Park people knew about his 2001 economic development plan - in fact - that they had copies of the pretty brochure he thought nobody was able to get a copy of - and questioned his plans for their "economic zone", and their complaints about the disgraceful conditions of the roads and such in the southernmost portion of the town under Legislator Nicollelo's watch because so much money is owed to the Town from the County for promised re-pairs and construction. This Suozzi ignores.
Then he gives Newsday a PR statement where he's strolling the northernmost part of New Hyde Park with the Democratic representative for the Town of NORTH HEMPSTEAD and that Legislator, seemingly presenting a happy and cohesive unity between him and the Township, when none in fact, exists.
Is Suozzi trying to split the whole County in two - pitting the Northeners from the Southerners in a Civil War he hopes to start to pit one Township against the other in the hope that we'll all ignore Suozzi's own failings as the COUNTY executive?

[residentnhp]

I hear the new residents of NHP want to change the name of the village to "NEW DEHLI!"

[Hindi]

Yes, that's North New Hyde Park - roslyn and manhasset and they are starting to hit great neck too. They're spreading from Queens and have already taking over Bellrose and Glen Oak and are still heading North toward Little Neck and Douglaston. North and East.

[Great Necker]

Great Neck is getting hit from the North down and the West over. North down is Indians - Hindus mostly maybe Muslims too but they tend to stay in Queens, and taking over Elmont with a heavy mix of every other minority coming over - and coming in from the West in Great Neck is a big Asian population - not sure what - Korean maybe - maybe the signs up along Northern Blvd. West are all in Asian symbols. Huge group took over Flushing and some camping out also in parts of New Hyde Park too. The more apartment buildings Suozzi builds - the more immigration will come over from the West. We really should put up a border patrol with no vacancy signs. Keep your cats and dogs in the house folks.

[Hicksville Hindi]

Don't forget little India in Hicksville - or is it Pakistani?

[Hippo Critz]

And I bet all those "hindis" who are professionals like doctors and cpa's and restauranteurs shelled out the 750K minimums (or more)to buy those houses from you biggited bunch of Florida-bound whiners - so pipe down and get back on the Orange Blossom and good riddance youse!

[Paid cash too]

-Better than those Roosevelt imbeciles led by Freddy IE; Sharpton Brewington who want Garden City and other "white" neigborhoods to build them special low income housing so they can invade the territory and wreck the village - like they did to Hempstead and their own neighborhood they're trying to escape from.

Like this will ever happen

[He's the imbecile that]

is responsible for re-assessment and pricing everyone, including the idiots from Roosevelt - well outside their comfort range.

[All's fair]

So you agree that to keep out all those "undesirables" from your picture-perfect village,

you all will pay arrears for all those years you were under-assessed?

Hmph. Didn't think so. Poppa always said money makes people do strange things...

[Keep the USA for us - 237]

Hey it gives them more voters and a built in base

[Their only base]

Yeah - soon that will become the face of nassau county because the working class people in the middle and toward the bottom will have no property, no jobs and no voice. Thanks dems - for destroying nassau county.

[Suozzi and his constituen]

Yeah - soon that will become the face of nassau county because the working class people in the middle and toward the bottom will have no property, no jobs and no voice. Thanks dems - for destroying nassau county.

There will be no middle class just the rich and a working poor

You Repugs make me laugh

How quick the rats bailed on Gulotta

How quick the scurried for cover..

Anyone remember when the county finances were about to be taken over by the state?

Anyone remember when very rich people were paying virually no property taxes while poor areas were getting slammed?

Anyone remember when commercial property taxes were rising at a much faster level that residential property?

Anyone remember when the Repugs touted no tax increase while slamming us with higher utility and special franchise taxes?

Anyone remember when the Repugs said no new TOH yaxes while raising special district taxes ///ooops still going on... sorry Kate

You Repugs fail to remember

You mean like now when Suozzi touts no tax increase - but that only covers the general fund

Or when the ppor will be hit with a a huge tax this winter when his tax on home heating oil goes into effect.

yeah that Suozzi a real joy

[More taxes in 05]

Suozzi just keeps increasing taxes and we have to pay - thanks for that

[Thanks Tom S]

On top of rising fuel peices we now have an energy tax - Thanks Tom

[BH in Brooklyn]

On top of rising fuel peices we now have an energy tax - Thanks Tom

Tom S isnt the only one raising taxes

[Prosecuter BC]

Well it must be you BH raising taxes

[Billy H in Brooklyn]

He will bleed us dry

[The Trolls]

We'll be watching you

[Brooklyn Sucks1]

Who the hell gives a sh*t what anybody from Brooklyn thinks about anything? Those are the people Suozzi keeps dragging in here on our tax money and raises our taxes to pay their salary. The point is - we don't care what those people have to say and that's why Peterson will win. We want those urbanized people to go get jobs in the zoo's they live in and stop trying to convert our surburban lands.

[Pat Cox]

Suozzi is my friend

[MTA/LIRR projects]

Support Republican legislators Vincent T. Muscarella and Richard J. Nicolella in opposing the MTA and County Executive Suozzi in the LIRR third rail project by showing your support in individual letters sent to Peter Palamaro. The following is a letter sent by Legislators Muscarella and Nicolella on taxpayers behalf, while they also urged the MTA/LIRR to proceed with the grade crossing eliminations in NHP at Covert Avenue, in Westbury at School Street and to address numerous safety and sanitary problems in the local stations, including crumbling cement pillars, pigeon feces, lack of accessibility for the disabled, garbage and debris along the rails and into the backyards of adjoing homes and other matters that residents actually want to have happen.
========================
July 25, 2005
Peter Palamaro LIRR Public Affairs Jamaica Station 1131 Jamaica, New York 11435
Dear Mr. Palamaro:
At the recent "scoping" meetings on the proposed third track along an 11.5-mile corridor of the "Main Line" between Queens Village and Hicksville, we expressed our strong opposition to the proposed project. We are writing to expand upon our comments and provide additional details as to why we think the proposal would have a devastating impact on the communities we represent.
The message from the recent scoping meetings should be loud and clear: The communities that are directly affected by the project are united in opposition. The third track project would damage each of these communities and would cause serious harm to the quality of life of thousands of local residents. As you know, the "Main Line" goes through the backyards of homes, schoolst businesses, and public facilities. The project, both during construction and afterwards, would have negative consequences for the local communities, including the following:
• The loss of homes, businesses and public property through condemnation.
• Damage to public facilities such as recreation centers, public works buildings, schools,
and libraries. ® The devaluation of residential home values.
• The loss of business with the corresponding loss of tax revenues to our schools and local government.
• The debris, noise, vibrations and other negative impacts caused by years of major construction in the hearts of the communities.
• Hundreds more trains per day causing more noise, vibrations, and pollution, along with the increased possibility of derailments from freight trains hauling garbage, hazardous waste, chemicals and fuel.
For all of these reasons and more, we strongly urge you to withdraw the proposed third track.


The letter is signed by Legislators Nicolello and Muscarello.

[DUMP MUSCARELLA and CREW]

Newsday should have added those to panderers( Muscarella and Nicolello) to their editorial below


The third rail of LI transit
Don’t give in to NIMBYism on expansion of the Main Line


August 1, 2005


No other construction project could benefit the Nassau-Suffolk economy more than a third track on the Long Island Rail Road's Main Line. The additional track would cut commuting time in both directions and bring more workers and their companies to Long Island. It is a key to growth.

That's why the NIMBY games being played by three members of Nassau's Republican state Senate delegation (AND MUSCARELLA AND NICOLELLO) are so dangerous to the economic health of the entire region. That they are being played by three senators known for being serious lawmakers, often unafraid to take on angry constituencies, makes their pandering tactics especially disappointing.


Deputy Majority Leader Dean Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) decided to use his clout as a member of a powerful board that reviews mass transit projects to require additional approvals even after millions will be spent preparing for construction. He did this to placate Sen. Kemp Hannon (R-Garden City) and Sen. Michael Balboni (R-East Williston), through whose districts the Main Line traverses. Many home and business owners are concerned about the impact. So the lawmakers are under political pressure to slow down or even scrap the project. That would be terrible.

There's no question that the people who live along the existing tracks should be heard. The quality of their lives and possibly their property values could be affected. So the Metropolitan Transportation Authority must do everything reasonable to mitigate the impact. And it must make sure their legitimate concerns are addressed openly.

But this project is hugely important for the entire region and the MTA may not be able to make everyone happy. Too many times projects that could benefit hundreds of thousands are held up or altered in unsuitable ways because hundreds, period, managed to frighten lawmakers into adopting their cause. The lack of a service road the entire length of the Long Island Expressway is only one such example of how one powerful senator can change a project so that thousands are inconvenienced every day.

Skelos, Balboni and Hannon ( ADD MUSCARELLA AND NICOLELLA )don't mind being excoriated for their actions. After all, their motive is to score political points with their constituents. We hope these guys realize how desperately Long Island needs to attract new workers and companies - and to find leaders willing to do what's right for the greater good, not pander for their own good.

[Attract More People!]

Are you out of your mind? Long Island needs to dump about a million people to get back to its surburban roots. I sure as hell don't want to encourage MORE people to come in!

[last out turn off lights]

Look around.. people are leaving in droves..Especially in the Town of Hempstead.

[Suozzi chasing them out]

Look around.. people are leaving in droves..Especially in the Town of Hempstead.

Yeah - unfortunately the people leaving are the ones you like to have as neighbors - being chased out by Suozzi's tax and spend policies. The people replacing them are the illegal immigrants that Suozzi wants to build high rise, low income apartment buildings to house and bring in factories and other industrial developments for them to work in - finding the jobs through the day laborer camps he likes to set-up (just ask the people who lived along the so-called "revitalized" Glen Cove waterfront community) and spend money on buses and HUB trams (well, him and Carolyn McCarthy) and inconvenience all the remaining middle class - working class homeowning taxpayers on the South Shore by building another MTA train pathway direct from Queens - because you know these people replacing the middle class we are losing - don't have driver's licenses either because they aren't legal immigrants, can't speak or read English and refuse to learn or don't have cars.
This is what Tom Suozzi is doing to our County - and Levinson and Weitzman are right there supporting it while they pay salary, benefits and transportation money to their good for nothing out of County workers.

[what fools repugs are]

Your posts are comical. Keep touting your party's lines. They will soon seal the Repug's fate in this county.

Arrogance, greed, predjudice,hate,fear,lies and evil is the Repug game plan.

Read the posts, their message is hidden in their rhetoric.

But most of all.. REMEMBER, THEY BANKRUPTED THE COUNTY UNDER GULOTTA AND THEY ALL VOTED AND APPROVED HIS FLAWED FISCAL PLANS AND THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT!
