[Nassau CTY Exec Peterson]

Maturity, Patience, Compassion, Pragmatism and Common Sense

That's Greg Peterson

Our next County Executive!

[no zoo]

No zoo

Don't sell the parks.

Hire workers not NYC flunkies.

[Petersen]

He went from looking like Charlie Rich and now he looks like Dick Nixon. Face it, there are lots of shallow people like me who like to vote for people who don't look like Dick Nixon!

[Lindbergh]

For little or nothing?

Just another of one of the good ol boyz !

[Full Circle]

He's back to rescue us and not a moment too soon. Now that the Nassau County Taxpayers have seen what the democrats do when they are in charge, they are regreting the day in 2001 they pulled the lever and will be apologetically hitting the booths in november and row A will be going clic clic clic all the way to a peterson victory!

[A Former JJ Supporter]

I never thought I would ever say any such thing...considering I fought the GOP tooth and nail for a considerable part of my adult life. Now we are the party in power, I, like many of my fellow Dems who fought the good fight, are sitting on the sidelines. Whether it is the Souzz or Peterson in as CE, it makes no difference to me. I would like nothing more than to take JJ and TS down. Nothing like working hard for these two bozos and then get pushed to the side..or worse..

GO GREG GO!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[NIKELAND]

JUST DO IT - Galante, Chairman / Iannarelli, County Exec

[Dont sideline it]

If you want to make JJ and Suzziola eat crow don't sideline - join the fight for Peterson. Peterson isn't Suozz - he won't take you for granted and he won't forget you after he's in office either.

[Greg has no ambition]

Greg Peterson has no ambition

He's got no ambition for statewide office
No ambition to get to the whitehouse
No ambition to be anywhere else - except running Nassau County

Greg Peterson is all about Nassau County and it's people
He's got no reason to look out for the NYC people at our expense
He's got no reason to look out after Suffolk County people
He won't be upstate when there're concerns to address right here
He won't be collecting money for use outside of Nassau County

Greg Peterson is committed to Nassau County and It's People
Peterson's got no ambition except to serve Nassau & it's People

Peterson - Nassau County Executive

He's got no ambition

[hedgehog]

Here's a list of Peterson's accomplishments:

Here's a list of Peterson's accomplishments:


Hey just about the same list as Suozzi

[Go back Underground]

Go back underground hedgehog - sleep it off . Peterson isn't county executive yet. I know it seems like he is since everyone is already talking about him in that way, but he isn't. You can't have accomplishments when you haven't had the job yet. DUH! Suozzi had over 3 years. DID NOTHING ! DUH! Typical Suozzi supporter - wasting time, energy and space to SAY NOTHING!

[Peterson the White Knight]

I got a real laugh today out of Levy's little column in Newsday. I can't believe Knight fires Lowe and let's trash like Levy remain. Levy claims Suozzi is popular. With whom is Suozzi popular? With Newsday? He attempts to prejudice the minds of the Nassau County voters by saying Peterson is coming out of retirement - trying to "subtly" insinuate the man is old. The truth, if Levy had any interest in publishing, was that Peterson changed careers like so many adults with choices do. He focused 100% on the private practice of law and did it successfully for more than 6 years in one of Long Island's top 10 largest law firms. Levy also tried to wage war by pretending that Peterson is just an extension of Gulotta's administration, knowing full well Peterson never worked in Gulotta's administratiion. Peterson ran the Town of Hempstead, which ran a surplus every year Peterson was in charge and never raised taxes to do it. Levy than claims that "imagination" is important. Funny, did he steal that from the joke going around this website about Suozzi's baseless "plan" with no plan? The taxpayers don't need imagination. They need realism. They need the details. Moreover, the stupid ideas that Levy threatens Peterson to adopt are none other than Suozzi's ideas which we have repeatedly bashed. The County doesn't need or want an income tax. People who can't now afford homes can't handle the additional burdens of an income tax, and most of those people aren't the people with children in the public school systems either. Income tax is not the way to attract and keep young folks in this County and the GOP knows better than to fall for that trap.

[Suozzi is on the Run]

Peterson hasn't even formally announced yet (why not by the way?) and Suozzi is on the run - sending his wife out into the Conservative Party to try and parlay favors there. Suozzi may as well switch parties himself now too since sending his wife over there was a slap in the face to the Democrats - what little there were left behind him anyway. We on this thread predicted his switch a long time ago, with his first utterance of the ridiculously stupid fix albany campaign. If Bogsted doesn't want his party to go down in flames, he'll wise up and support Peterson for County Executive. Suozzi will promise him the moon and the stars - but we've all already seen that Suozzi's word is no good here.

[Peterson to Win]

Newsday can go to hell. It can portray the GOP as hoping to hang onto whatever little thread it's hanging from the truth is it's Newsday hanging on after the GOP workers all cancel their subscription. The GOP is in this game to win. It's Peterson to win. Hear that Newsday- we are playing to win !

[Non CSEA worker]

Maybe Greg Peterson can find a way to stop all these whining, snivelling, crying, bellaching CSEA and 911 ladies from doing so much damn complaining. Maybe he can fill their jobs with people who appreciate have county jobs with full benefits, no commute, a lunch and 2 breaks in a 7 hour day and get them the hell off this board already.

[Who is wearing gloves?]

Suozzi is the incumbent
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tell you what - how about - you take a look at Suozzi's record running the county - or rather - running the county into the ground since he's the incumbent and it's his record that's on trial during this election, although you'd never know it by the unfair, prejudiced and lying rag of a paper inappropriately named "news" day. And if you want to take a look at Peterson's record - go right ahead. You will find that the Town of Hempstead had a surplus of funds every year that Greg Peterson was in charge, that services were never negatively affected, and that he managed the budget and the Town's services without raising taxes or fees even once while he was in office. Suozzi is making no bones about it - he has no interest in Nassau County and he never did, he never will. His whole time in office has been a joke - a way for him to manipulate his visibility to launce a state career. The only reason he wants to win in 2005 is to leave. The guy is a total joke. Almost a bigger joke than Newsday has become

[UMNN - just thinking]

I heard Greg Peterson is available. He's a hottie. Is it true though - are you on the singles market too? Does that mean if I help work on his campaign I may have a shot ?


What's the story Morning Glory?

[youknowwho]

Ladies and gentlemen, please let me take you back four years ago, for all those people who have no memory of the pain.

It’s September 2001.

911 makes the entire world cry.

The Country needs a hero!

The County needs a real Republican candidate.

The County is facing a monumental looming budget deficits caused by gigantic Police contract increases.

Gulotta has cut so much everywhere else that he can hardly give his attorney friends the kinds of contracts they should have(accustomed to).

Gulotta is now taking a pass on running again (not willing to loose his first election).

The previous Republican Majority, with Blakeman in charge sinks the temporary (exit) transfer tax that could have solved all the budget problems without a historical property tax increase.

Thanks to a few minority Democrats in Roosevelt and Hempstead, countywide reassessment is now in play and is promising shocking property tax increases (now worse than ever in Roosevelt).

The entire line of Republican fair-haired public servants now act as if someone just cancelled the summer hot-dog eating contest they had been training for all these years.

The same bunch of Republican fair-haired public servants, when lined up by Joe (Amigo) Mondello and asked to volunteer to run for county executive, all take a giant step backward leaving an unsuspecting but honest billionaire out front, in the breeze, to run for County Executive.

Billionaire tells the entire staff of Republican loyalists, committeemen/women in County government that he will get rid of them all.

Billionaire gets his butt kicked by rich kid from Glen Cove.

Rich kid, with no alternative, raises taxes nearly twenty percent to fund his dreams.

Republican loyalists may have to go on food stamps.

AN NOW YOU WANT TO RUN FOR COUNTY EXECUTIVE!

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN WE NEEDED YOU?

NOW THAT SUOZZI DID ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING AND NOW YOU WANT TO STEP OUT OF THE BAND BOX AND TAKE OVER AFTER EVERYTHING IS BETTER?

OK, IF YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT!

It is still a scummy thing to do!

[Peterson will tell truth]

Thank god for Peterson - he's back !
He'll get the word out to the public, despite Newsday's LIES !
And rescue the County.
=======================
How can Newsday possibly say the county is in better financial shape now then it was before Suozzi? If it bothered taking a look at the expenditure for each county agency - the costs and fringe benefits, the salary's and equipment & supplies - it will find spending has gone up drastically in every single, solitary agency. It will see that all of the fees - first implemented by Suozzi - then increased by him, all of the tax increases implemented by hims - are just sweating to keep up with his increased expenditures and that none of the revenue has been spent for any capital projects, major renovations or improvements, and that the maintainence programs for the parks and highways and other common areas throughout the county have been ignored or put on hold. That ARC judgments remain unpaid, as well as multi-million dollar legal budgets and that vehicles wrongly held by the county in failed asset forfeiture heists still haven't been returned. All of these DEBTS will have to be paid in the future. When the medicaid crisis finally hits the County, Suozzi has left no financial cushion to meet it. Suozzi ran out of money to accomplish basic maintainance and preservation projects, expected to be done in the ordinary course of running a surburban county, and floated a 30 million dollar bond allegedly to be used for that purpose. He included in his budget the sale of certain real estate that has not yet been sold. He has benefitted by the economy, without having to do anything, got lucky so to speak, by the increase in sales tax revenue led especially by the increase in gasoline prices. The county is absolutely not better off financially now than it was before. In fact, a real economic analysis of the county's condition can lead to no other conclusion than the county is worse off - it's financial situation is more precarious and there no longer exists the option of raising taxes or fees because Suozzi has already done both to the max that the taxpayers can withstand. How about some truth Newsday?

[Where was he?]

In 2001 Greg Peterson was home with his very sick wife and working as a lawyer to pay the medical bills. He put his family before the county because he had no choice. How dare you question that?
His wife died.
Now he can put your family over his ambitions and step in to set the county straight.

[Peterson's Committee]

I'm interested in getting on the committee to elect Greg Peterson but I can't seem to find out how one goes about getting involved. Anybody Know?

[Connections baby]

So - Peterson is connected to Gullotta? So what? Peterson ran TOH while Suozzi ran Glen Cove while Gullotta, a Republican ran Nassau County. So what? TOH ran a surplus, provided services, attracted federal and state grants, revitalized the shops in downtown Hempstead, opened a shopping mall, tore down a dangerous parking garage and replaced it with several parking lots for the district court and if Peterson is elected County Executive, he will fund the gang unit of the NCPD and make gang arrests and illegal housing a priority. While Suozzi ran Glen Cove he caused the feds to come in and investigate the books and records, built a hut for day laborers to urinate in, tore down the waterfront and left it blank and empty, ran for state office an unknown against his own party to satisfy a personal vendetta assuring that the people of Glen Cove will get no grants and no assistance from the state in the future. Both Peterson and Suozzi have connections. Peterson is a self made man. Suozzi is daddy's little boy. Peterson did a damned good job in office. Suozzi mess made a mess of things. Both were involved in politics when Gulotta ran the county. PRINT THAT NEWSDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Such a nice guy]

Sunday's New York Times article introducing Peterson as the county executive candidate personified the difference between the candidates and their party leaders. While Peterson's diplomatic wisdom showed him to be a dignified man trying not to bad mouth Suozzi and sticking to the issues, JAY JACOBS came in like the arrogant, dirty SOB that he is showing that even if the GOP wants to try and play this campaign out well, between Newsday and Jay Jacobs there is going to have to be a knock down drag out mud slinging fight.

[Oh Gosh!]

I think we ought to get those guys who write all the lawyer jokes to give us insight into why we should not have another lawyer as county executive.

[Pedrosian]

Whats was Greg Peterson's original name? how come he changed it years ago? Isn't he Armenian by trade?

[Dear illegal immigrant]

What's your point Pedro? If these smelly, dirty, disgusting sex pawing illegals would change their names to Jones, Smith and Hill - get jobs on the books to pay taxes and help put something back into the community they do nothing but ravage and weigh down, get off welfare, take care of their own families, pick up their garbage, learn to use indoor plumbing, learn to speak English, stop beating their women and harrassing our women, leave the drugs and the violent criminal and gang members in their own country and stop wrecking the neighborhood - then we'd all be better off and nobody would look twice at race or ethnic background. But these PEOPLE won't do that and so it matters because they stand out like sore thumbs. Greg Peterson will round these people up and work with the Feds to shape them up or ship them out.

[A Real Journalist 10]

I can't wait for Peterson to elect someone on his committee to start submitting letters to Newsday so that the taxpayers can see the real truth behind Suozzi's lies. If Newsday's publishers won't force the editors to publish them without using prejudicial editorial license then there are plenty of other media sources that will. And if each GOP club collects comments posted on this website or other articles written by it's own club members and spends the money to copy them and distribute them to all their neighbors in the community - we can win this media battle and get the truth out. It's going to take a grassroots committment and an organized leadership but it can be done.

[Website is stupid]

Peterson having a website is useless. Cheap but stupid. Posters are posting here or over at Darryl's site. They aren't going to spend their day posting everywhere. Nobody much reads bloggers either. The voters Peterson must reach are the ones skimming the headlines in Newsday, and maybe reading a few words here and there without thinking about them, analyzing things or forming their own opinions. The simpler folk who come out and vote and live their life without getting too involved or too informed or too concerned. Those are the ones you need to hit over the head in a personal way, by depositing the literature in their hands at their homes because they are too busy to come to lectures or meetings or anything else and too naive to realize how misleading Newsday is. They sure aren't going to be looking for any Peterson websites.

[experienced committee guy]

A website with e mail links to supporters is a great way to organize and spread the word about a candidate, and cheap. I agree that literature drops by committee people is also a good way to go, but why eschew reaching thousands through the click of a button or two? A good campaign utilizes both high tech and low tech.

[Because people don't clic]

Most voters don't read political websites - that's why you need a door to door campaign. You and me - we're obviously interested in politics in one way or another. Most people are just trying to pay their taxes and keep their kids in school. They don't have the time, the desire or the interest to read a political website. Half my friends never even heard of this website, for example. They will all vote. They will not go to political club meetings or look for candidate information on the computer. They might read an article about the candidates in Newsday. They might read an article about the candidates that is delivered to their front door or that they find in their mailbox. They won't go out of their way to get information. They need to be spoon fed. Political websites are only useful for political people and most of those people that are seeking out those websites have already got their minds made up.

Nobody said to give up mail drops and door to door. There is no substitute for pressing the flesh and making a personal appearance. You need to get out there and shake hands with folks. How about handling out palm cards with website information for the candidate's campaign on the palm card? Or in a piece of literature hand delivered to a home, or distributed at a supermarket. Don't be so elitist as to think that your neighbors, if moved by a particular candidate or cause, will not check out the website.

The website can be used to organize volunteers, recruit people for rallies, and dozens of functions a competent campaign performs. To his credit, Tom Suozzi has made highly effective use of email lists to distribute information to his supporters. Traditionally, the Nassau County Republican Organization has been slow to organize technologically. They cannot afford to lag behind anymore. Say what you want about Suozzi governmentally, ethically, or morally, the man is in the 21st Century with his campaign technology. The Republicans cannot be continually viewed as a party which lacks the technological prowess to compete in local elections.

As a Republican, I strongly sympathize with all efforts to defeat Tom Suozzi and drive him and his followers from our borders and back into the 718 area code where they belong!

[finaly]

u couldnt have said it better they need technolgy to reach all diffrent types of voters people have more then one computer in there houses nowa day just like the telvision so the gop needs to improve technolgy to win campaigns

[Baldrick]

If Peterson wants to connect witmiddle-income Nassau County residents he must talk about the regressive property tax. Because of reassessment, the property tax is harming thousands of middle-income Nassau County residents.

As time goes by it will only get worse. In a few years, thousands of middle-income Nassau County residents will be paying 15-20 thousand dollars a year in taxes. This is already happenning in New Jersey.

[taxpayer 34]

If Greg talks about reassesment, that all comes from us and Charlie OShea. He hired the company that does it and gave them a five year contract.

Thats not the dems ...thats us

[Dems 4 Peterson]

The only reason I asked about Peterson's web site is because I want to check it out.

[Bull crap]

There was not a five year contract. There was a contract to do the first assessment. Suozzi and Levinson liked their work and retained them themselves to do the second assessment BUT Suozzi dumped everyone in ARC and brought in his own people. Lorna Goodman hired one of her own and stuck her there as counsel to the assessor. Then Suozzi brought over the NYC group that got run out of NYC just before the indictments came down ripping apart the tax cert system there, finding it full of fraud, abuse and criminal activity like bribery. The same people in charge of it there, at that time, started running it here. Lorna Goodman had already brought in the attorney in charge of tax cert at Corporation Counsel. Her prior experience? Teaching in HAWAII. Suozzi is re-creating the disaster that was NYC. Incidentally - what ever happened with the federal audit and investigation of the wrongdoings being unearthed in Glen Cove while Suozzi and family were in charge of the city?

[Devil in the Details]

Greg P. will be sufficiently re-connected to his old buddy Tom G. strictly by the facts of what he did when he was in government - in elected and appointed office. His behavior in the waning days of his service as President of NOTB will show that he was part and parcel of the bad government finances of Nassau County right up to the end. Won't take much at all to connect the dots.

[Peterson Peterson]

Has a lot to explain base d on OTB. And his contacts and contracts...................................

[You are so wrong Sir]

Suozzi is the one that needs to explain why he hasn't provided basic services or paid basic debts or accomplished anything he said he'd accomplish during his term in office. Suozzi is the one who has to explain how come even with all of his tax increases, and surcharges, and fee increases - we still have nothing to show for it and how come he's leading us into a huge deficit next year. Suozzi has to explain Peter Sylver, Campanelli, drunken, lying Commissioners, HUD money, Glen Cove, failed "revitalization" projects, the connections between IDA contractors and contributors, the fiasco that became the County Attorney's Office, the millions of dollars funneled to the Office for Minority Affairs which did nothing, NYC workers, Civil Service violations, the dozens of employee lawsuits, seasonal workers and outside vendors. It's Suozzi that must explain how come none of the county buildings have been repaired, sold, consolidated like he said he was going to do, why he's being driven around by cops, the fleet of SUV's, gasoline allowances for NYC workers, Klein and the allegations of county wide payroll fraud, the debacle at the Board of Elections, Dennenberg and his petition fraud, Abrams and his inability to tell vacant homes from lived-in homes in his own community, Tom Williams and the Civil Service Commission, $20 million plus dollars in overtime at the Jail. A decrease in police staffing, an increase in illegal immigrant aliens and illegal housing - his fix of simply raising taxes for slumlord landlords until Dennis Dillion decided to go after them for enforcement of the law, increasing gang activity and his flip flopping on every other issue and plan he's espoused since taking office. Suozzi needs to explain why he is just now starting to have visions for Nassau County, why there are no concrete plans already completed by the end of his term and how come he selectively enforces park encroachments while giving away permits to day camps and politically connected caterer monopolies. I want him to explain his energy tax, income tax and further property tax increases that he plans on implementing away. And I want his firm commitment that if he's elected County Executive, he'll complete the 4 year term. Suozzi is the one with alot of explaining to do and by the end of the year, I assure you, the pressure will be on him to explain.

[Did You know]

You are right on! Great Job! I love it! Keep up the good work! I would like to see Suozzi answer all those points that you brought up. I'll be waiting - I hope not to long I'm getting old!

[John Grisham II]

Suozzi is the one with alot of explaining to do and by the end of the year, I assure you, the pressure will be on him to explain.[/quote]
To: You are so wrong Sir:
That was a very informative post. Great insight and writing. I just might be able to consult with you on my new book which takes place in Nassau County and includes Tommy Boy as the whining child he is.

[Outsiders]

As long as Peterson lets outsiders inside he'll have a very wide support group and be able to unite the old guard with the new guard.

[No Income Tax]

It's bad enough those without children or with children in private school get zonked into paying the same high school taxes that people with 16 kids in the public school system pay, many of them illegal aliens and that they are offered no tax relief. But now under the Suozzi administration - his hand picked puppets want to implement an income tax instead of a property tax. So now renters, who can't afford their own homes, now they get to subsidize homeowners too. In other words, if you are a working class legal resident, generally young, old, single and childless - Suozzi's administration wants you to move out or subsidize everyone else - namely the illegal aliens and their slumlords who make money off the books, the welfare recipients with their 16 children each and the wealthy class. Suozzi claims he didn't know about the press conference and doesn't agree with imposing an income tax? So what? That shows even more strongly that it's time for him to go. When a county executive has lost control of his administration and fails to communicate with other high ranking elected officers serving under his rule, it's time for him to admit that he just can't handle the job. Good by Tom.

[Las Vegas]

Greg P, unfortunately will lose a close race. The kards ar stacked against him but he will always take care of his cronies.

[gop4tom]

Well if we look at where Nassau was four years ago and where it is today. Tome S has made great improvements in the financial condition of this county.

I have not forgotten the last time I voted for Greg and what he did.

I look at where the state of NY is now under George and the boys. If I look at where NY is today and where it was four years ago its very clear.

Tom for four more.

[Real Long Memory]

but then again he wanted to be Town Supervisor, and that lasted for about 3 hours or was it less. Just another Republican pig at the trough, but unlike most he hides behind an assumed name.

[Stop doing acid]

You're memory is warped by the acid you did in the 60's. Peterson had nothing to do with Nassau County. He ran the Town of Hempstead. He left his post to give it to a republican successor while he took another one after he completed a full 4 year term. Successfully completed it and got re-elected because he held the line on taxes, cut spending to do it by merging and consolidating surplus departments and there was no detriment to the services offered and provided by the Town. The successorship way of life is what helped keep the GOP in power for 40 years in Nassau County and the voters must have thought it was working for most of that time because they kept voting in the candidates of choice. Tom Suozzi had 4 years and made a bigger mess of things, created more internal tension, more hostility between residents and various municipalities and wrecked more of nassau county then any republican leadership could ever do. His balanced budget is a short lived myth which any good accountant could take apart and show why suozzi is running around trying to blame everyone but himself for the undisputed fact that next year he's led this county into a major deficit, worse than under Gulotta because Tom's deficit ocurred DESPITE the fact that he gourged our eyes out with impossibly high taxes and fees. And he's not through with us yet. But hopefully, we're through with him.

[Name Change]

So he changed his name? So what? So do women when they get married, then divorced, then married again. So do alot of immigrants who want to adapt to American culture and the English language. So do many people for personal reasons unrelated to anything vile. At least he's not Tom Suozzi - hiding behind his family's successes, using his families' political connections and clout to get where he is. Without Tom's family name - he'd be another numbers clerk with an accounting degree over at Arthur Anderson.
He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and that's the crowd he hangs with. He has an obvious disdain for what he considers the working class and he is obviously feeling he is above the county executive job with his comments that - he doesn't get paid enough, while there are people working 3 jobs to keep a roof over their head and they still don't have the income and assets Suozzi has. The wedge is being driven by his adminstration and the further apart "his kind" can keep away from the rest of us, the better off he'll like it. We can all live in his high rise apartment style ghettos, as long as he and "his kind" can stay in their $1.5 million dollar North Shore homes. Isn't that what he paid with an interest free, collaterol free, $650,000 loan from one of his contractor/developer friends? Is it any wonder he wants to give them all contracts to buy great, big skyscrapers on long island. Let's give the terrorists another big red X to hit shall we?

[Married Woman]

I take offense at most of what the previous poster said, but specifically regarding name changes. I changed my name when I got married, because I loved my husband, and I didn't want my kids to have a hyphenated last name. It's much too confusing.

I did not change my name because I thought my prior name was a political liability and I wanted to anglicize it. Peterson must have no respect for the electorate if he thinks electoral success depends on his last name. Did Spiro Agnew change his name? Millard Fillmore? Joe Lieberman? Obviously, he's covering up some feelings of inadequacy. If a man can't be honest about his name or with himself, he's not worthy of election.

[hearts and flowers]

You changed your name because it was more convenient to use somebody else's family name than it was to use your own. Same thing housewife. Losta women LOVE their husbands but keep their own names, even though it would be EASIER to change it, even after they have children. Usually it's because they have professional accomplishments they are proud of, or because they are proud of their family name, or because they want to retain their own identity. You took your husband's name because it was easy. And what does that have to do with anything? It means nothing. Just like Peterson's name change means nothing. I'm surprised someone like you even found your way to this website. All the interesting points that were made that affect the county issues and you come up with a lame statement like you changed your name 'cos you love your husband. What a loser. Maybe Peterson should take his deceased wife's name because I'm sure he loved her too. JESUS - I bet you're a suozzi supporter too because he's cute right?

[Married Woman]

JESUS - I bet you're a suozzi supporter too because he's cute right?

First of all my name's not Jesus. Second of all, Who's Suozzi. :D

I can assure you that it's not easy to change your name. I'm sure it wasn't easy for Peterson. He have been really embarassed of his family name or have something big to hide. I'm sure it will come out by November

[What will come out]

Good god woman go knit a scarf or something. Peterson is a LAWYER - you can't be a lawyer with any evil secrets in your background. There's a criminal check, a finger print check, they run your social security and do an income tax check. What WILL come out in November is the Democratic illegalities over in BOE that Suozzi sent them all out to campaign in Hempstead on county time with county pay; in fact - that should sufficiently taint the race enough that it should be overturned - that Glen Cove has been run with mirrors and smoke and is falling apart under the weight of criminal indictments that started way back when Suozzi was in charge which is a precursor for what he's doing here in Nassau County, the payroll fraud will be uncovered in the Parks Department and the conflicting interests of the county attorney and they will all line up next to Campanella, Sylver, Dennenberg, that drunken guy - what's his name? and his NYC wifee who sued our cops for doing their job. THAT'S what'll come out in November.

What's Peterson's real name?

[Suozzi's Wife]

Who cares? What name does Suozzi's wife go by? She doesn't use the name Suozzi.

[What was - What is]

The short version. The republicans ran the county for 4 decades. There were no complaints from anyone about anything until just before the 2001 election. The county did not go into bankruptcy. There were some fiscal problems that needed to be addressed and they would have been addressed. The republicans wanted to try every last chance creative way to address those problems before resorting to devasting tax and fee raises and cutting necessary services and failing to make ordinary repairs. They never got there. Suozzi snuck up and stabbed his own party in the back by knocking Dinapoli on his ass and used as a first resort the easiest possible remedy and raised taxes and fees while decreasing services and failing to take care of daily county business. By using the tax and fee raise as a first resort, he's left the county more vulnerable to economic changes as the state and federal budgets looming deficits increase and the allocated local monies decline, especially to Nassau County where they tool hate Suozzi and won't do him any favors - thereby hurting us. Running the county for 40 years they didn't do a bad job - compared to the destruction that reigned from the Suozzi administration in only 3 years. Macys, Sears, Kmart - they all were pretty profitable and did a good job running things for a real long time too - but economies of scale change and businesses falter and they wound up literally filing for bankruptcy. They are rebounding though - and it's not because they raised prices - which is basically all Suozzi did. A&S, Alexanders, Bradleys, Orbachs - for goodness sakes whoever thought Gimbels would be out of business? You can't say the people who ran those stores for so many years did a lousy job and at the end it was all their fault. That's stupid. That's what Suozzi and Newsday are trying to get people to believe. Things are complicated but you don't get by 40 years without making a few mistakes, but you do have to be doing something mostly all right. And really - think about it. If things were so bad as Newsday pretends they were - do you really think this miracle that Suozzi allegedly pulled off could happen in only a couple years? It doesn't work like that. And now they are predicting a major multi-million dollar deficit in the budget next year. If the county is in such great financial shape now, how is it expected to suddently go to pot next year? Are we going to war with another borough or something? It makes no logical sense. That's because it's not quite the simple picture Newsday makes it appear to be and it's not all quite so rosy - or bleek - a picture on either side of the coin either.

[Teri Schiavo & Suozzi]

That last post reminds me of another sad analogy. I guess you could say that maybe Gulotta was wrong in not raising taxes his last year in office - and maybe he'd still be in office but the difference between Gulotta and Suozzi is clearly played out in the Schiavo case. Tom Gulotta was like Teri Schiavo's loving and devoted parents - who wanted to try everything first to help their daughter survive and who were willing to take the hard way to insure that what they believed she would have wanted and did want - was done. Tom Suozzi is the guy who went to the hospital to visit her the first day after she was admitted, casually walked over to the life support system, yanked out all the plugs and then hopped on a plane with her money and went to the Moheccan Sun for the weekend. Maybe the result would have been the same either way but Jeesh - I know whose hands I'd rather be in if I were Teri Schiavo and I know now that as a taxpayer - I'd sure rather be in Greg Peterson's hands next year.

[hedgehog]

I guess this website is popular in crackhouses - how else to explain the last 2 posts? To what was and what is - that was the short version? And you say nobody was complaining about anything until shortly before the 2001 election. You were obviously living in a different Nassau County than everybody else. People COULD NOT WAIT for Gulotta to go. NC bond rating was thisclose to junk status. But republican hacks wouldn't be expected to remember such details.

[The Schiavo comparison]

It's not over yet folks. Her parents are still fighting for her and so are many people who have visited her and can see her reactions to things and know there's an alert mind behind that paralyzed body who doesn't want to be starved to death. Especially not by the man who caused her paralysis in the first place. Of course he's out there with OJ and Robert Blake now.

[Bob Blake & OJ]

Are Bob & OJ going to be the new guest stars at Suozzi's next fundraiser with Mr. Schiavo the guest of honor?

[The god almighty bond]

The bond rating.

You know - I just gotta say - I don't give a crap.

I don't know what it is now, I didn't know what it was then.

I'm really not so affected by it.

Before the bills got paid, the services got provided, the taxes were ok - Now - not so much.

Whatever dude - my credit rating is probably just above junk too but I provide for me and my kids and if it takes alittle longer to pay off of the credit cards - oh well.

Thats the choice I made.

Lucky Tom - the oil prices are still on the rise and that's good news for tax revenues

[hedgehog]

So Terry Schiavo wanted to be in a persistent vegetative state for 15 yrs? Good thing you guys are around to clue the rest of us in. Leave it to the GOP to tell the rest of us how to live AND how to die.

[The Courts will Tell You]

Hedgehog - I bet your favorite TV show is Blue Collar TV right?

I don't know if the judge hearing the case and making the decision is a republican or not and I don't know who the right to die and the right to live legislators were. I do happen to know of a person who is in a totally paralyzed body but mentally aware and somewhat able to communicate and I do believe by those communications she is happy being surrounded by family and friends and noise and life even if she can't participate in it herself. Better than being starved to death. Some people would rather die than have to live with an amputated leg and other people are quadrapolegics but have a job and contribute to society.

The point is people deserve a chance. And you don't go to the worst possible alternative as a first option. This guy Schiavo wanted her dead from the moment she was hospitalized even though strangers that visit her say she reacts positively to them and is aware. Many say because of the past history between them - he's the one that caused her condition by unsuccessfully trying to kill her.

The point is - Suozzi walked in at the tail end of something and immediately pulled the plug because the GOP were trying everything else first and it's not to say what Suozzi did was right because he still didn't pay off $320K in the tax refunds which come due next year and have to be paid in cash. His revenue hits are all being blocked - Grumman first because of environmental hazzards, DSS next because of failure to plan and he's not even begun one repair on anything in 3 years of managing the county. He walked in - raised taxes - and pretty much thought he could just walk right out again, not bothered to stop, think and listen to what the taxpayers wanted or how his actions were affecting others.

And why is it that everyone always has to stop and explain things to you hedgehog? You always have alot to say but you never seem to understand anything you are talking about.

Another typical Suozzi supporter. How obvious they are.

[Vote Row A]

It's better than Suozzi

[Schiavo]

Suozzi will win and we will all die.

[U can slit your wrists]

Well, if that's how you feel - you can just slit your own wrists right now. Me - I'd rather pound the pavement on behalf of Peterson and help get the truth out about Suozzi before the election. There's not much time - but there's enough left to undo the lies.

[Patronage?]

You're kidding right. Peterson has nothing to prove to anyone. He wants the job because he wants to strengthen the county. Suozzi, on the otherhand, will sell out Nassau County the first chance he gets.

And if you are hinting at the patronage issue...take a good look at how much money your boy Suozzi has cost our county with his wasteful appointments. Do some research with an open mind...

For little or nothing?

Just another of one of the good ol boyz !

[sell out]

suozzi already sold us out. remember a guy called wang and oasis and 200 nyc appointees? if you forgot that how about almost 2 million bond to build a science center for LIJ's new outpatient facility and "sharing" the cost of supplies that we don't need and already have with suffolk county?

[Lindbergh]

It will take over a hundred years for the Democrats to catch up to the institutionalized thievery Republicans ingore as "Just Business".

[Laughing OUT Loud at You]

Ok hot shot with the smart mouth conclusions - other than BPA - name some infractions - real, specific misdeeds that you can specifically discuss and prove and not just BS rhetoric.


Peter Sylver, Campanella, IDA, Oasis, Wang, LIJ-North Shore, HUD money, Fed investigations in Glen Cove, 200 NYC appointees, Klein in the parks department, Borin in the assessment review committee, Craig Love, Sharon Asip, Tom Williams, $20 million OT in the jail, PTVB, the Democrats in BOE, Dennenberg, Abrahams and his "abandoned" homes, Toback and his oceanside hotel (putting both Abrahams and Toback on the medicaid "fraud" committee, Lorna Goodman representing both the witnesses and the legislators at the hearings at the same time, Failed asset forfeiture, Failed medicaid recoupment program, Failed real estate consolidation program, floating $50 million bond for parks preservation where there has been none - and no repairs - in over 3 years, Failing to give the Towns and Villages their promised allotment of money for their capital expenses and road repairs, Failed colorful horse investments, Failed revitalization of Glen Cove waterfront, Failed reconstruction of the Old County Courthouse, over 20% tax increases, increases in every County fee we had and implementation of new fees, Surcharging tickets, car registrations and even tickets to Nassau Colliseum events, Implementing an energy tax and threatened income tax and 2 more years of increased County Taxes, Failing to pay off the tax assessment refunds, Failing to pay off the legal cost of judgments settled because of mismanagement, Failing to renovate the worker's compensation bureau, Failing to allow Nassau county to take advantage of the "free" sales tax weeks offered by the state - this is a small fraction of the Suozzi infractions. 3 years and counting.
If I had more time - I'd give you more specifics. Now smart ass - take your time.

[geez enough already]

Simply amazing, how some Republican Diehards simply haven't learned from the past. I guess they figure if they say it's so it must be.

Comments from a recent post

The short version. The republicans ran the county for 4 decades.

True

There were no complaints from anyone about anything until just before the 2001 election.

False

The county did not go into bankruptcy.

[3 days later]

It took you 3 days and that's the best you got? Ho Ho Ha Ha He He. Suozzi raised taxes 20% and we're still at the brink of a financial crisis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ho Boy - Peterson here comes victory .

Scooby Dooby Do.

[Pizza King]

By the time November rolls around, Suozzi will be in serious trouble. The cumulative effect of continuing revelations during the next five months will erode his image and support. Suozzi is a sitting duck. Peterson is not. Newsday does not control the public's perception of reality or right and wrong. Count on a vigorous, well-financed anti-Suozzi campaign. Mailings and media spots, capitalizing on Suozzi's travails, will determine this election, not Newsday. I challenge anyone to give me a good reason why I am wrong in my assessment.

[??????????????]

WHY ARE THESE COUNTY WORKS FROM THE CITY PRAYING THAT TOM TO WIN AGAIN
I WILL ANSWER THAT "THEY SUCK AND CAN'T FIND ANOTHER JOB"
GO GREG

[Just put out the truth]

All the GOP has to do is get out the truth about Suozzi's administration and with enough rope, he'll just hang himself.

[Greg feeds us]

Unlike Suozzi who is too cheap to provide the cookies and coffee for his staffers, Greg feeds us and keeps us hydrated out of his own pocket. It's just a sign of respect and appreciation from somebody who can actually think outside his own head.

Peterson is a good guy who will make a good leader. A real leader.

[Greg Pee]

He is sleeping well.

[Dems pretend to be YR]

Suozzi strikes again. He tries to divide and conquer. That's his MO. He tried to break off the Towns and the Schools from the County - wrecked havoc in Albany - campaigned like an unemployed freek for (who was the guy who ran against Bush?) and tried to dismantle the CSEA (failed - they kicked his girl right in her big, fat ....), he's trying that crap with the PBA and now his girl Kimmy Love is trying to break apart the Reps by trying to pretend the Dems are Young Republicans unsupportive of Peterson. He's an idiot and will be put on an express bus to NYC soon enough.

Greg is not resting, he has his shredder cranked getting rid of OTB records he took when he left.

[Rant & Rave]

Except for a list of all the multi million dollar lottery winners, Nassau County is the biggest target of flim-flam there is around.

And since Frances Purcell left office, all the time, in every way, we always get a cadre of ambulance chasers, devorce lawyers and "mall-fall" attorneys bellying up to the political bar to get a piece of one of the biggest money pits known to man! NASSAU COUNTY.

What we should start doing is get rid of the County Executive position and hire a completely credentialled manager to run the county for the legislature.

Souzzi is doing fine but, this stuff about the people working for him has got to stop!

Poor Peterson fans are scared of his past. Why is that? Rant and rave about Suozzi but ignore the glass house you live in. It's not only OTB problems from 5 years ago that are still with us but Board of Supervisors scandals ready to bubble to the surface.
Peterson has a great resume of past problems he hopes to hide while pointing his finger as Suozzi.

[List them honey]

Big talker with no details - let's here it - what do you think is such a blast from a long ago past that with all the crap coming out of Suozzi's house - anybody is gonna give a damn ?
And why are you supporting a man who probably doesn't know you're arrive and wouldn't even apologize if he backed over you in his police driven SUV?
Your're just one of those losers from Manhattan I guess.
If you're not, then you're really pathetic.
So fat boy - what have you got other than playground antics?

Incidentally - I didn't quite get your reply to the $25 million bond your pretty boy floated to bail out the Democrats in OTB?
I guess you're still trying to think of something huh?

The past is over - the race is about Suozzi's lack of a record.
You'll see.

Let me see if I have this right. The OTB that just opened it's glamourous betting parlor needed $25 mil?, from the taxpayers, no less. First we are lied too about the money going to help our schools, now we are expected to pay 25 mil so the gamblers can have a nicer place to play. This Suozzi team is even more corrupt than I even imagined. THEY HAVE TO GO!

[Suozzi's Energy Tax]

From their lip's
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to our ears, at a recent legislative public forum in our distrct, the dem legislator stated in a room full of people that the 4 1/2 tax is there and approved as a gap closing measure should revenu for sales tax fall short. It is in the budget and they will be able to activate it under their disgression. What is outragious is that it is on each and every fuel source, including fire wood, read the budget so in essence we will pay 4 1/2 for oil, 41/2 for natural gas 41/2 for electric, 4 1/2 to your local woodchuck, and so on and so on. It adds up to more then 4 1/2%

I was just woundering if Suozzi & the dream team dems in the legislator left a tax on horse manure, a viable heat producing matter, since all of their fancy friends will be suppling them with enough horse..., to get through the winter. I mean these fools think we are still living in the age of the Guttenberg Press and that Newsday is the only place that owns one.

From what I hear suozzi's only tool is that left over from Filegate from the Clinton Years, even then that was yesterdays technology, even some of us are IT experts with a fancy Palo Alto education. AHH the transparent Universe!

[Glass House]

Glass Houses are designed by Tom's special friends , landlords who live elsewhere, on the North Shore, for his painted ponies, and what would seem , an establishment that appears to be an emporium for "emporers New (every shirinking )suits" just what is with that homahradite in the window?? Just to let you know Tom is a man, though dangeriously thin, o well if the shoe fits wear it! And we hear that the rental income apartment's above the store front has been approved on a recent "listening/Looking" ( to destroy) tour! Thanks so much for your never ending advocacy, while you toll around Oyster Bay!

Glass house designers better hope they live in a little brick cottage, or else we will huff, and puff and blow YOUR house down!Three little pigges have already gone to market, and we all can smell the PIG roast from the Sunset Villa!

[sleeping greg]

[Peterson Supporter]

Why not nap? Suozzi is damaging himself just because the truth about him and his administration and the kind of people they hired is starting to come out. More will be coming out and the people will see what a phony do nothing he really is. Peterson doesn't have to say a negative thing about him - everyone else will do it for him - including those now surrounding Suozzi closest. They know they are history regardless of what happens to Suozzi - who doesn't have a loyal bone in his body. Ask his latest casualty - right Klein?

[Tonight's Grand Opening]

Peterson's headquarters officially opened tonight with a grand opening - who knew?

[Hysterical]

Peterson's headquarters officially opened tonight with a grand opening - who knew?

Inside the Peterson headquarters on Hempstead Turnpike is sign that says something like"Preserving Nassau's beauty". Then take a walk around the building, it's an absolute pig sty. Trash and overgrown weeds on the sidewalk, tractor trailers in the back of the building, random shopping carts in the parking lot. It's absolutely disgusting. How can he claim that he will keep Nassau from becoming a "sixth borough" when he can't even keep his campaign headquarters looking clean?

HYSTERICAL!!! You have to see it to believe it.

[Laugh out Load]

Well not all cndidates can have their headquarters inside the Nassau County BOE, paid for with taxpayer dollars. But for even a better laugh come on down to the dump called the City Of Glen Cove, its poluted creek and gang infested downtown, day labor sites and illeag housing.

Now we all know Mr Peterson did not park those trailers outside, but the suozzi clan ran their CITY collectivelly, farther, uncle and himself and they are soly responsible for stating the Sixth Borough right here in your backyard.Aint onone else responsible but them!

Tom Suozzi "bringing Nassu back.... to what we all fled from in the first place URBANIZATION!

is as clear as a bell in the City of Glen Cove, quess noone out there can debate that! What you see is what your gonna get from the North Shore to the South Shore, Queens to Suffolk! Is the version of his City what he means by regional oversite!

[Privately Owned Property]

The Peterson headquarters is on privately owned property which the committee rents, unlike Suozzi's headquarters which the County Taxpayers pay for. Moreover, it is between stores, one of which is National Liquidator and people sometimes park in the headquarters parking field and then walk to the stores, and they take their shopping carts back - and the cargo trucks also park there - waiting to load or unload merchandise. Now if it was Suozzi, he'd call the cops and force them to impound the cars/trucks/merchandise/shopping carts and then try and blackmail National Liquidator for a political donation in exchange for Suozzi ceasing to harass it's customers. Peterson isn't Suozzi - THANK GOD. The "debris" is a sign of a flourishing business in a long established business district - off a main Avenue - the type of industrial district Suozzi keeps threatening to dump in the middle of residential communities and is willing to condemn homes and churches to do it - Kaiman has already started.

:lol:

[You have got to be kiddin]

You have got to be kidding. I live in W. Hempstead and walked by the campaign headquarters this morning on my way to the LIRR station behind the headquarters. There were Peterson signs on the ground around the building, a huge open trash can overflowing with fetid garbage in the back, and litter all around the building. You are right; Peterson isn't Suozzi. At least Suozzi has the brains to keep his campaign headquarters clean and orderly.

As for calling that place a "flourishing business," I suggest you have your meds changed. The quality of businesses along Hempstead Turnpike is a joke unless you need a tattoo or 22 inch rims for your car. It's a disgrace and has become that way because of TOH Republicans not enforcing zoning laws.

I also found it strange that the headquarters was completely empty and devoid of any activity. You would think that someone who is a real long shot would be putting in a few more hours at the office and burning the midnight oil. That place should be buzzing almost 24/7.

[It's buzzing now]

If Peterson was Suozzi he'd have Nassau County employees getting paid by Nassau County Taxpayers to work on his campaign during official Nassau County hours.

PS - walking by the front does you no good as the action takes place in the back rooms of the spread. Before labor day the headquarters was only open from noon to five in celebration of the beautiful summer we've had and because Suozzi's own staff had been doing a pretty good job of stabbing him in the back without any GOP campaigning necessary. But now the headquarters stays open until 9PM weekdays, and soon, will start opening over the weekends too - but the staffers are just easing into it.

By the way - the polls aren't showing that Peterson is much of an underdog anymore.

What polls are you reading? Ive heard that GPP is way down

Greg is M.I.A. in T.O.B.--and when he does show he is very low key.

I don't think they remember Greg in O'Bay!

[How refreshing]

Greg is M.I.A. in T.O.B.--and when he does show he is very low key.

He is low key. Dignified and respectful. He's gentle and wise. What a refreshing change he will be from that arrogant, loud mouthed, publicity loving faker we now have playing at the County Executive job.

PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL NASSAU COUNTY RESIDENTS - GET THE WORD OUT - VOTE FOR PETERSON ROW A

IT'S TIME TO MAKE NASSAU COUNTY GREAT AGAIN!!

By Greg Peterson, Republican for Nassau County Executive


As a lifelong resident of Nassau County, it's sad to watch what's been happening to our once great county.

There was a time when Nassau was a suburban jewel... when it meant something special to live here.

There was a time when middle class families could afford to live here... when young people could afford a home and when families were not being squeezed out of their homes because of skyrocketing taxes.

There was a time when Nassau's government services and pristine parks were the envy of every other county... when our streets and government buildings and communities were clean and well maintained... and free from litter, weeds and graffiti.

Unfortunately, that time is now just a memory.

Every day, Nassau County is looking more and more like the 6th Borough of New York City... with a crumbling infrastructure.., with deteriorating government services... with massive spending increases... and with skyrocketing taxes.

And every day, the newspapers are filled with stories of scandal and corruption that document the tragic waste of our precious tax dollars.

We see shocking stories of out of control patronage (up 80 per cent since Tom Suozzi took office)...... scandals (remember the Peter Sylver

scandal that wasted millions of precious tax dollars that were meant to help the elderly and the poor)... mismanagement (like the most recent taxpayer rip-off by highly paid part-time Suozzi appointees who falsified time sheets to be paid for no work)... and big payoffs and government contracts for campaign contributors/and political cronies. Tom Suozzi has a $4 million war-chest - the highest of any county executive in Nassau history — that is built on massive contributions from hundreds of contractors, developers and special interest groups doing business with the county creating an environment of "pay to play" politics worthy of the most corrupt big-city political machine.

That's why I'm running for Nassau County Executive... because I believe that there is a better way to run county government than endless cycles of mismanagement, massive spending increases and out-of-sight tax increases.

And because I believe we need a county executive who is hard at work every day in his office in Mineola - dealing with the problems facing the county... not someone who tries to run the county from Newburgh... and Syracuse... and Plattsburg... and Buffalo as he travels around the state campaigning for governor.

If you've had it with watching Nassau County turn into the 6th Borough of New York City, then I ask you to vote for me to be your next county executive. I will clean up our parks.. .I'll repair our infrastructure... I'll clean up our communities.




—— —-————— f

Greg Peterson with his daughters

If you've had it with the administration's budget decisions that have crippled our ability to fight crime... that cut needed funding from the budget for tie Anti-Drug Task Force... that cut from the budget the Anti-Gang Task Force... that reduced - aid in many cases eliminated - the police preseice on the streets that we need so badly, then ] ask you to vote for me to be your next County Executive.

If you've had it with watching the middle class slowly get squeezed out of the county... of watching ou- children unable to stay in the county... of watching our parents unable to keep their homes.,. and watching thousands of other families forced out of their homes because they can't afford he taxes...

If you'vehad it with the endless, cycles of over spending... (f the massive half-billion dollar spending inceases...

If you'vehad it with suffocating property taxes... of 4^% tax increases... of yearly assessment iicreases that drive all of our tax bills up...

Then I ask you to vote for me to be your next county executive. I will break that destructive cycle and I will restore fiscal sanity to county government.

As you know, I had retired from a successful career in politics - a career where, as supervisor of the Town of Hempstead, I upgraded services... restructured government to improve productivity... reduced the size of town government... ..and put the town on solid financial footing.

And I did it all while holding the line on taxes!

The only reason I am running for county executive now is because I felt someone needed to step forward to get Nassau County back on track and to apply the formula we used in the Town of Hempstead to County government.

And that is just what I will do!

An unpaid political ad?

[Really ?]

Hey, I heard a rumor that Greg Peterson is running for office. Is it true? I haven't seen any signs or anything other than Suozzi pieces at virtually every main intersection. I guess it can't be true since I haven't heard a word about it. I guess we Republicans have already thrown in the towel for the CE race this year. Kudos to our leader Joe.

That's because the Sh!thead Democrats have been running around Nassau County in the night and tearing Republican signs down.

[Yes Really]

Greg has been working at his law firm bidding on legal work to defend Suozzi aids which Suozzi stupidly defends to the grave.

This results in a great amount of contributions to Greg so that he can run effective ads against Suozii while Suozzi does absolutly Zero, except for defending crooks.

Yes Really, wake up and look at TV rather they remaining unconscious.

[$$ down the hole]

Any $$ to pp son is a foolish
He is not there to win CE
Just polish up his name recognition
He was good for nobody but his cronies at TOH
If you are not his buddy
pass on this

Tom will finish his second term in Albany
Greg will take his peter smell to the bank
Poor desperate GOP sickers

[Tom by60%]

Tom by a landslide

[Biter]

Where was Greg in the early 1990s, when his buddy Mondello ordered Gulotta not to raise taxes. Kept selling one shot revenue
deals under the County was near bankrupt.

Probably sailing on Oyster Bay Cove laughing at the loyal GOP supporters who put all them in office.

[Get a dose of reality]

He was doing his job just like you were doing your job - unless you're the unemployed drunk I think you are. Why didn' t you do something about it if that's the way you feel? Idiots. Typical Suozzi supporter. The dumber they are the more Suozzi is a farce. Even that liberal loving rag called "News" day had to admit that the reason the gop was in trouble because they couldn't pay back the judgments on the tax refund cases and it was the GOP who negotiated and arranged for the State to bail out the county over the last 4 years with Nifa advising them. All Suozzi did was get elected. He took the money from the state and the advice from Nifa. He raised taxes a whopping 20% and they went up every year automatically with each increased tax assessment. He never paid the tax refund cases off with the money the state gave him and the bond arrangements the gop made to help pay the debt off ends in december. Suozzi spent all the money on a huge, incompetent, criminal patronage staff and we still have the debt that will break lose in 2007 after all the state aid, nifa and the bond floating period is over. Suozzi killed us.they love him.

[Buffy123]

You must be a friend of John Roberts - evading the questions.

[Peterson Rules]

Learn how to read. A: Where was Greg? Q: Doing HIS job.

Greg Peterson will save Nassau County from Tom Suozzi by ending the annual tax reassessments which causes property tax to go up every year, despite Suozzi's denials to the contrary.

Greg Peterson will make sure if you appeal, and win your tax assessment hearing, all future tax assessments will be adjusted accordingly, eliminating the need for annual tax hearings and avoiding the problem of taxpayers getting confused over deadlines and losing their opportunity to appeal.

Greg Peterson will work with, not against, the police department and youth groups to help curtail the gang presence in Nassau County, and will hire people more interested in rehabilitating and offering alternative sentencing for juvenile delinquents, than Tom Suozzi's current crop of "Killer Kids" hang-men over in family court.

Greg Peterson will work with, not against, the school administrators and teachers to help children make the most of their educations, to provide them with after school activities to keep them in school, and away from drugs, alcohol and crime, while working to hold the line on taxes, just like he did as Supervisor of the Town of Hempstead.

Greg Peterson will use responsible fiscal management to help Nassau County grow and prosper, just like he does now, and has been doing for the past 6 years, as part owner of one of Nassau County's largest and most profitable law firms.

Greg Peterson will protect and preserve the surburban landscape that we moved East to enjoy and he will stop Tom Suozzi from turning this County into another NYC Borough by building skyscrapers, and overstore apartments while cutting experienced teachers, enlarging classrooms, decreasing sanitation pick-up and ignoring all the real problems that the working class people actually have.

Tom Suozzi can't identity with the working class, middle class people who live in Nassau County. Greg Peterson can.

Vote for Greg Peterson in 2005.

[go home greg!]

FICTION:
Greg Peterson will save Nassau County from Tom Suozzi by ending the annual tax reassessments which causes property tax to go up every year, despite Suozzi's denials to the contrary.

FACT- Annual tax reassessments are a reult of a COURT ORDER due to Republican mismanagement during Peterson's run on the Board of Supervisors under Gulotta. Peterson allowed Gulotta's smoke and mirrors budgets every year.


FICTIONGreg Peterson will make sure if you appeal, and win your tax assessment hearing, all future tax assessments will be adjusted accordingly, eliminating the need for annual tax hearings and avoiding the problem of taxpayers getting confused over deadlines and losing their opportunity to appeal.

FACT-If you win your appeal, all future tax assessments are automatically adjusted. Just another example of Peterson's lies. Let's not forget appeals are going down due to the new system in place. ALSO>> don't forget the unfair assessments during Republican (Petereson) times caused our county to go bankrupt!

FICTION
Greg Peterson will work with, not against, the police department and youth groups to help curtail the gang presence in Nassau County, and will hire people more interested in rehabilitating and offering alternative sentencing for juvenile delinquents, than Tom Suozzi's current crop of "Killer Kids" hang-men over in family court.

FACT- I never forget the time I had to demonstrate in front of 1 West Street when the Reublicans severly cut all human services budgets... including the Nassau County Youth Board. My organization lost needed funding because of the Republican's screwed up. Therefore more kids were put at risk.. because of the Republicans under Peterson.
FACT 2- Negotiating a fair deal with the police is not working against them... crime is down if you haven't noticed.

FICTION
Greg Peterson will work with, not against, the school administrators and teachers to help children make the most of their educations, to provide them with after school activities to keep them in school, and away from drugs, alcohol and crime, while working to hold the line on taxes, just like he did as Supervisor of the Town of Hempstead.

FACT- The above lie is pandering at it worse.
As Supervisor of TOH Peterson never provided after school activities. This is an outright lie. TOH and Nassau County Government has nothing to do with local school districts. More Peterson B.S. Peterson doesn't have the qualifications to discuss school issues and how the affect children.

FICTION-
Greg Peterson will use responsible fiscal management to help Nassau County grow and prosper, just like he does now, and has been doing for the past 6 years, as part owner of one of Nassau County's largest and most profitable law firms.

FACT- Peterson works for Mondello's law firm.. protecting the interests of the party and it's contributers.. Stay where you are Greg. The last time you were responsible for Nassau County Finances you put the county on the path to bankruptcy

FICTION
Greg Peterson will protect and preserve the surburban landscape that we moved East to enjoy and he will stop Tom Suozzi from turning this County into another NYC Borough by building skyscrapers, and overstore apartments while cutting experienced teachers, enlarging classrooms, decreasing sanitation pick-up and ignoring all the real problems that the working class people actually have.

FACT
Thisis just another example of the scare tactics the Repugs have stooped to. Enlarging classrooms? cutting experienced teachers?? Let's take a look.. schools are the responsibility of the state and local school districts.. not NC! Sanitation.. Levinson is uncovering the abuses of the Repug party and how it has driven up taxes of TOH residents. It costs 300% more to pick up garbage in Hempstead that North hempstead! Must be all the BS.
Let's not also forget the Gulotta adminstration with Peterson owns the legacy of promoting big box stores while destroying our main street businesses.

FICTION
Tom Suozzi can't identity with the working class, middle class people who live in Nassau County. Greg Peterson can.

FACT
Greg never identified with the working class. The working class doesn't get handed no show jobs like chairing the Nassau County OTB, or getting a favor by being named a partner in Mondello's law firm. Folks, don't forget Peterson's arrogance when he was Supervisor of hempstead and sat on the NC Board of Supervisors. If you live in the TOH your taxes are much higher than the other towns because of the practices of Peterson, Mondello and his cronies.

FACT
IF you Vote for Greg Peterson in 2005 you either hold a Republican patronage job in TOH or you are just a fool. Most likely you are both.


Tell all your friends and make sure you tell Greg and the rest of the Republican machine that your mad as hell and you are not going to support them anymore!

Vote for the Democrats this year.

OR... VOTE FOR PETERSON BECAUSE YOU ARE SO SICK OF ALL THE LIES AND POLITICAL WRANGLING THAT SUOZZI IS ASSOCIATED WITH JUST TO FUTHER HIS GUBENATORIAL CAREER. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!! :x HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT NASSAU COUNTY!!!

PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL NASSAU COUNTY RESIDENTS - GET THE WORD OUT - VOTE FOR PETERSON ROW A

IT'S TIME TO MAKE NASSAU COUNTY GREAT AGAIN!!

By Greg Peterson, Republican for Nassau County Executive


As a lifelong resident of Nassau County, it's sad to watch what's been happening to our once great county.

There was a time when Nassau was a suburban jewel... when it meant something special to live here.

There was a time when middle class families could afford to live here... when young people could afford a home and when families were not being squeezed out of their homes because of skyrocketing taxes.

There was a time when Nassau's government services and pristine parks were the envy of every other county... when our streets and government buildings and communities were clean and well maintained... and free from litter, weeds and graffiti.

Unfortunately, that time is now just a memory.

Every day, Nassau County is looking more and more like the 6th Borough of New York City... with a crumbling infrastructure.., with deteriorating government services... with massive spending increases... and with skyrocketing taxes.

And every day, the newspapers are filled with stories of scandal and corruption that document the tragic waste of our precious tax dollars.

We see shocking stories of out of control patronage (up 80 per cent since Tom Suozzi took office)...... scandals (remember the Peter Sylver

scandal that wasted millions of precious tax dollars that were meant to help the elderly and the poor)... mismanagement (like the most recent taxpayer rip-off by highly paid part-time Suozzi appointees who falsified time sheets to be paid for no work)... and big payoffs and government contracts for campaign contributors/and political cronies. Tom Suozzi has a $4 million war-chest - the highest of any county executive in Nassau history — that is built on massive contributions from hundreds of contractors, developers and special interest groups doing business with the county creating an environment of "pay to play" politics worthy of the most corrupt big-city political machine.

That's why I'm running for Nassau County Executive... because I believe that there is a better way to run county government than endless cycles of mismanagement, massive spending increases and out-of-sight tax increases.

And because I believe we need a county executive who is hard at work every day in his office in Mineola - dealing with the problems facing the county... not someone who tries to run the county from Newburgh... and Syracuse... and Plattsburg... and Buffalo as he travels around the state campaigning for governor.

If you've had it with watching Nassau County turn into the 6th Borough of New York City, then I ask you to vote for me to be your next county executive. I will clean up our parks.. .I'll repair our infrastructure... I'll clean up our communities.

Obviously, some nervous Suozzi appointee confuses fact with fiction. He must moonlight at Newsday.

[what a dummy]

A young man was performing a ventriloquist show in the American Legion Hall in Levitown. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb politician jokes when Greg Petersen in the 4th row stands on his chair and starts shouting: "I've heard enough of your stupid politician
jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype politicians that way? What does being a Republican have to do with his worth as a human being? Its guys like you who keep Republicans like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person.
Because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination
against not only politicians, but Republicans in general... and all in the name of humor!"
The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and Greg Peterson yells, "You stay out of this mister! I'm talking to that little shit on your knee"!

[Thooper Dooper]

A guy walked into a bar with a pet alligator by his side. He put the alligator up on the bar and turned to the astonished patrons. "I'll make you a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my genitals inside.Then the gator will close his mouth for one minute. He'll then open his mouth and I'll remove my unit unscathed. In return for witnessing this spectacle, each of you will buy me a drink." The crowd murmured their approval. The man stood up on the bar, dropped his trousers, and placed his privates in the alligator's open mouth. The gator closed his mouth as the crowd gasped. After a minute, the man grabbed a beer bottle and rapped the alligator hard on the top of it's head. The gator opened his mouth and the man removed his genital, unscathed as promised. The crowd cheered and the first of his free drinks was delivered. The man stood up again and made another offer. "I'll pay anyone $100 who's willing to give it a try." A hush fell over the crowd. After a while, a hand went up in the back of the bar. Tom Suozzi eagerly said, "I'll try, but you have to promise not to hit me on the head with the beer bottle."

He's got my vote. Suozzi is slime and the people he hires are worse.


I'm doing my part to get the Peterson levers down Nov. 8th.

Greg Peterson has no ambition

He's got no ambition for statewide office
No ambition to get to the whitehouse
No ambition to be anywhere else - except running Nassau County

Greg Peterson is all about Nassau County and it's people
He's got no reason to look out for the NYC people at our expense
He's got no reason to look out after Suffolk County people
He won't be upstate when there're concerns to address right here
He won't be collecting money for use outside of Nassau County

Greg Peterson is committed to Nassau County and It's People
Peterson's got no ambition except to serve Nassau & it's People

Peterson - Nassau County Executive

He's got no ambition

This is one of the biggest selling points for me. Suozzi will sell out Nassau County if he thinks it'll give him a better chance for Albany. Suozzi has no interest in running Nassau County. Like he said - he doesn't get paid enough. Suozzi is just using us as a stepping stone. I'd rather have somebody who wants to be here and cares about what happens to us. That's my reason for voting for Peterson.

[hedgehog]

Geez, can you tell the Peterson folks are desperate??

[Charlie Oshay]

The reassements must be done each year by law... Greg can not change that. Greg wants to add more cops at $125,000 per year per head.

[No more tax reassessments]

Rescue us Greg!

When Tom Suozzi was a little boy he went trick or treating in Glen Cove. This one particular evening he went as a Pirate. He knocked on the first door and a nice old lady came to answer it. Upon opening the door little Tom screeched..."trick or treat!!"
Oh, look what a cute costume. Your a Pirate little boy. Hey, little boy, where's your buceneers, said the nice old lady".

Under my bucking hat replied the quick witted little Suozzi. :lol:

[Peterson for cops]

Peterson against crime.

Look at what happened to Nassau County under Suozzi.

Illegals - sexual harassment - gangs - house break-ins.

Vote Peterson.

Illegals - sexual harassment - gangs - house break-ins.

Vote Peterson.

Crime is at an all time low, Nassu County is the safest county in the United States according to the FBI, gangs on Long Island (or anywhere in the U.S, because they do exist everywhere) is nothing new Illegals is a national problem... When will the GOP lies stop??

[Crimetruth]

Much like NYC...Nassau's bosses flub the numbers so a felony is recorded as a misd. to make crime look like its going down...while it isn't.

Greg wants to add more cops at $125,000 per year per head.

Get your facts straight. First off Nassau Cops make $23,000 to start. 2nd...why should a Nassau teacher earn 125K and not a cop? A cop works just as hard and in rougher conditions putting their lives on the line. Just because you were too much of a coward to become a cop...now you are sooo bitter..WA WA WA!

Rescue us Greg!

Stop Annual Tax Reassesments now!


This is another phony issue. The annual assessments were court mandated and that is how NYC manages their assessments. Because of that, they have less then one tenth the tax challenges despite having over 10 times the amount of land parcels. That is what you want in Nassau.

When Peterson complains about annual assessments, he is essentially admitting he has no idea how the Real Property assessment system works (or ANY assessment system for that mattter) and is hoping to scare people into voting for him. Ity may work, but it's the old technique the Nazis used : The Big Lie.

What a pathetic liar!! Doesnt Dela Robba ever run out of useful idiots to do his bidding??

:lol:

Starting pay for NCPD rookie cops during their first six months in the Police Academy will be $23,000. NYPD cops earn $25,100 their first 6 months in the Police Academy.

Try living on Long Island on either salary with a wife, kids, and if you're lucky a mortgage. :evil:

Signal 10 Conservatives Endorse Greg Peterson for Nassau County Executive

Nassau County, New York, October 7, 2005 – Signal 10 Conservatives, a grassroots organization of Nassau County volunteer firefighters and rescue personnel, has announced its endorsement of Gregory Peterson for Nassau County Executive.

In announcing its support of the GOP candidate, Signal 10 Conservatives explains: “Greg represents many of the values important to our members – not the least of which is his commitment to lower the taxes that prevent so many young adults and families from buying or keeping a home in Nassau County. The continued migration of young people away from our area not only negatively impacts recruitment and retention at volunteer fire departments throughout the county, but it also severely affects our local economy, as businesses find it harder to hire and keep a skilled workforce.”

Greg Peterson has held leadership positions in Nassau County since 1972, when he was the youngest Councilman ever elected to the Hempstead Town Board. He has served as Presiding Officer of the Nassau County Board of Supervisors, and as Supervisor of the Town of Hempstead. Mr. Peterson has also served as Chairman and CEO of the Nassau Regional Off Track Betting Corporation, where he was responsible for the daily operation of the most successful Public Benefit Corporation of its kind in New York State; the company produced record profits every year he served, channeling millions of much-needed dollars to Nassau County.

“Greg has a proven ability to keep expenses and spending down without sacrificing services,” continued the Signal 10 Conservatives statement. “As the chief fiscal officer of America’s largest township, he created new sources of revenue, held the line on taxes and downsized government while providing enhanced services to residents throughout the Town of Hempstead.”

To help the Peterson for Nassau County Executive campaign, Signal 10 Conservatives will show their support in such ways as displaying bumper stickers and lawn signs, as well as assisting in “get out the vote” drives designed to encourage Nassau County volunteer firefighters and EMS workers to register and vote in the November elections.

Longislandjournal.net. NEWSDAY WOULD PRINT THAT !!!!!

[Suozzi hates his own idea]

Apparently, Greg Peterson has already convinced Suozzi that nobody wants what Suozzi wants, so now Suozzi isn't even man enough to stick to his own guns - instead he's decided that he's not now attracted to his own ideas anymore! What a jerk. Vote for Peterson - the thinking man's man



You want to read a paper? See the article in the Daily News and the one in the Long Island Post about Suozzi's stupid ideas that all backfired against the County. Read Dunleavy.

[The thinking woman's man]

Suozzi only seems attracted to his own projects until he's gotten all the campaign money he can out of the project's beneficiary & once the beneficiary is used up - Suozzi no longer finds his special interest project attractive. That's because Suozzi has no real knowledge of anything that goes on under his direction, nor does he really care. He can't concern himself with things like what the public really wants or what Nassau's real needs are. He's 100% fixated on saying and doing only what his latest poll of the day says will garner him a vote, regardless of whether he believes it or not, and regardless or whether or not he intends to carry it through or not. Suozzi only wants the vote and afterward - he'll do what he unilaterally thinks will up his chances to get the hell out of this lousy County Executive job, which he doesn't think pays him enough, and it doesn't matter what that is good or bad for Nassau County, his "supporters" or the Nassau County residents who live here.

Vote Peterson. Vote to save Nassau County from Suozzi's destructive metrosexuality.

You know what strikes me funny about this post and every other post, and every TV ad about this election from the Reps?

No one has yet to give a reason why anyone should vote FOR Peterson. All i've heard are reasons NOT to vote for Suozzi.

Suozzi's ads are why to vote for Suozzi, and Peterson's ads are why NOT to vote for Suozzi. You'd think that somewhere in there the Reps would come up with maybe 1 reason to vote FOR Greg.

The post above went on and on about how bad TS is, and then ended by saying....vote for Greg. But those aren't reasons to vote for Greg. Even WITH his weaknesses, one candidate can be better than another candidate, but we don't know any of Greg's strengths because even his own side never mentions them. Must be a reason. Mentioning them now only because I brought it up just proves my point.

[Posted awhile ago]

Learn how to read. A: Where was Greg? Q: Doing HIS job.

Greg Peterson will save Nassau County from Tom Suozzi by ending the annual tax reassessments which causes property tax to go up every year, despite Suozzi's denials to the contrary.

Greg Peterson will make sure if you appeal, and win your tax assessment hearing, all future tax assessments will be adjusted accordingly, eliminating the need for annual tax hearings and avoiding the problem of taxpayers getting confused over deadlines and losing their opportunity to appeal.

Greg Peterson will work with, not against, the police department and youth groups to help curtail the gang presence in Nassau County, and will hire people more interested in rehabilitating and offering alternative sentencing for juvenile delinquents, than Tom Suozzi's current crop of "Killer Kids" hang-men over in family court.

Greg Peterson will work with, not against, the school administrators and teachers to help children make the most of their educations, to provide them with after school activities to keep them in school, and away from drugs, alcohol and crime, while working to hold the line on taxes, just like he did as Supervisor of the Town of Hempstead.

Greg Peterson will use responsible fiscal management to help Nassau County grow and prosper, just like he does now, and has been doing for the past 6 years, as part owner of one of Nassau County's largest and most profitable law firms.

Greg Peterson will protect and preserve the surburban landscape that we moved East to enjoy and he will stop Tom Suozzi from turning this County into another NYC Borough by building skyscrapers, and overstore apartments while cutting experienced teachers, enlarging classrooms, decreasing sanitation pick-up and ignoring all the real problems that the working class people actually have.

Tom Suozzi can't identity with the working class, middle class people who live in Nassau County. Greg Peterson can.

Vote for Greg Peterson in 2005.
Tell all your friends and make sure you get them to polls in November to vote for Greg.
Save us.
Save Nassau County.
Save our children.
Vote for Greg Peterson.


This was posted on this thread while ago. It's one of many posts like it but the previous poster is too lazy or too stupid to read the whole thread before jumping on the bandwagon on the basis of the lastest post. That's typical of the Suozzi supporter. These aren't a thinking people. They are the type of people who could be standing right in front of someone who is stark raving naked. And they can see the guy is naked. But then the guy says - I'm wearing an imported Italian suit and I'm going to give you one just like it. It's gorgeous. And then a Newsday reporter comes by and writes an article about the gorgeous italian suit the naked man wasn't wearing. And the guy who sees the guy is naked, figures, that must actually be what an imported Italian suit looks like - and I can't wait to get mine. So he starts to believe the naked guy really isn't naked, and votes for him. If he only trusted his instinct, and did a tiny bit of thinking, and dug a wee bit deeper coupled with some old fashioned research - he'd realize he's been suckered. That's why the Peterson people are voting for Peterson. They're tired of being suckered by the naked emperor. Now go back and read the damned thread. It's chock full of reasons to vote FOR Peterson, but in my book, voting AGAINST Suozzi is just as good a reason to vote FOR Peterson.

It was posted "a while ago". Gee, how specific. Probably another of the lies from the Reps. First it was the list of patronage jobs that was posted which turned out to contain mistakes and lies, so this is probably BS, too.

Everything in that post is exactly what ANY candidate would say, but it doesn't say HOW he would do any of this. That post cited all the hot button issues, but no specific ways Peterson would attack them, no ideas that are HIS.

Pardon us for not going back over the thousands and thousands of posts on this board to find the ONE that actually had an ISSUE in it pertaining to Peterson. Some of us have jobs and lives to lead. We spend most of it pointing out the lies of the Rep administration in their childish attempt to get back into the office that they trashed now that it is breathing again.

Peterson people are voting for Peterson for the same reason they keep spewing that property taxesa went up 42% but none of them care to explain how they got that number. For the same reason that they suddenly claim that high bond ratings are a BAD thing. For the same reason that they say that expenses went up in the county and that crime went up....because they are all lying pieces of crap.

Congratulations. You found ONE post that said something that Peterson will do. The fact that nothing like it is mentioned in any of his ads is revealing.

[Hohoho - case in point]

If the previous poster could only see how idiotic he's coming off. He asks for facts, and he gets them. He can't bother reading between the lines, or doing his own research, or picking up any documents open to public inspection. He wants to be spoon fed by a TV commercial, and educated through a posting where someone can hold his hand, and explain that which exists right before his very eyes if only he had enough brains to see it himself. All he has to do is flip through prior postings for the information he craves, yet he's too stupid to figure out how, or too lazy to answer his own questions. Instead, all he can contribute is baseless negativity and name calling, sticking to the same, tired, worn out chant that we are all so impervious too. That is why is it so important to get Suozzi, and his brain dead supporters out of office. Their ignorance, laziness and inability to acknowledge that which is practically shoved right in their face, will destroy our County. We must get rid of them.

[Flip Side]

Suozzi is the one that needs to explain why he hasn't provided basic services or paid basic debts or accomplished anything he said he'd accomplish during his term in office. Suozzi is the one who has to explain how come even with all of his tax increases, and surcharges, and fee increases - we still have nothing to show for it and how come he's leading us into a huge deficit next year. Suozzi has to explain Peter Sylver, Campanelli, drunken, lying Commissioners, HUD money, Glen Cove, failed "revitalization" projects, the connections between IDA contractors and contributors, the fiasco that became the County Attorney's Office, the millions of dollars funneled to the Office for Minority Affairs which did nothing, NYC workers, Civil Service violations, the dozens of employee lawsuits, seasonal workers and outside vendors. It's Suozzi that must explain how come none of the county buildings have been repaired, sold, consolidated like he said he was going to do, why he's being driven around by cops, the fleet of SUV's, gasoline allowances for NYC workers, Klein and the allegations of county wide payroll fraud, the debacle at the Board of Elections, Dennenberg and his petition fraud, Abrams and his inability to tell vacant homes from lived-in homes in his own community, Tom Williams and the Civil Service Commission, $20 million plus dollars in overtime at the Jail. A decrease in police staffing, an increase in illegal immigrant aliens and illegal housing - his fix of simply raising taxes for slumlord landlords until Dennis Dillion decided to go after them for enforcement of the law, increasing gang activity and his flip flopping on every other issue and plan he's espoused since taking office. Suozzi needs to explain why he is just now starting to have visions for Nassau County, why there are no concrete plans already completed by the end of his term and how come he selectively enforces park encroachments while giving away permits to day camps and politically connected caterer monopolies. I want him to explain his energy tax, income tax and further property tax increases that he plans on implementing away. And I want his firm commitment that if he's elected County Executive, he'll complete the 4 year term. Suozzi is the one with alot of explaining to do and by the end of the year, I assure you, the pressure will be on him to explain.

Did you ever think that maybe the reason the imbecilic Suozzites keep asking Why they should vote for Peterson is so they don't have to ask themselves Why they shouldn't? I mean, if they start to ask Suozzi to explain the so-accomplished he claims to have achieved - all you get is empty promises and half finished projects infused with crooks, scandals and budgets that haven't even been approved yet. It's like getting the frame done around a jigsaw puzzle, but being unable to complete the middle of it. Pretty useless. Just like Suozzi and his "so-called" accomplished. All he accomplished, really, is that there are a dozen for sale signs up in every neighborhood, and people are racing out to by alarm systems and bars for their windows and doors. Children are going away to college and refusing to come back and young families are flocking out so fast that they aren't even taking the time to stop and pack first.

The previous 2 posts have to have come from the 2 blindest people in the county. Ignoring fact after fact, especially the genius who just said that Suozzi's budgets haven't been approved yet. I believe he's had a few apprvoved already and this one will also be on time, as it is just going through the LEGAL and accepted procedures.

As for the assinine person who said that some us are waiting to be spoonfed, it is the job of the political party to make its message known, not rely on people to come to message boards full of partisan liars to get their info. The fact that he wants me to search this board for reasons to vote for Peterson shows how bad a job the party is doing at making those reasons known to the general public. Or maybe the party knows there aren't any reasons to vote for Peterson, so all they can do is attack his opponent. If that's your best reply, then you're lazier than the people you accuse of laziness. Try to come up with a logical one next time. If you don't like Suozzi, that's fine with me. But don't get all upset when someone points out an obvious failing from your guy's side, especially when its true.

What's more, the most twisted logic I EVER heard was this:
"Did you ever think that maybe the reason the imbecilic Suozzites keep asking Why they should vote for Peterson is so they don't have to ask themselves Why they shouldn't?"

Huh? My head hurts just trying to unravel the mental illness that conjured that one up.

No amount of blindness to the facts changes the truth. Budgets are balanced responsibly, debt is down, crime is down, credit raings are up.

[the idiots are back]

sweetheart, how stupid are you? the budgets were supposed to be approved last week so suozzi would have to pass on it by election day. the dems refused to do anything with them until the last hours they had by law to pass it back to suozzi, and the news only went out today that they made changes to it before sending it back to suozzi - who still hasn't acted on it. it's not approved yet and doesn't take effect until the lame duck ce approves it. since the useless dems on the legislature pushed it off until now, suozzi doesn't have to act on it until after election day. and you can belly ache all you want about all the other posts. we can all read for ourselfs and the logic, not to mention the hard cold facts that we all know to be true, is flawless. suozzi is ousted dear, take the bus back to the bronx and stay there.

Peterson is not going to win period. In the idiots are back name you have there well youname fits yourself, anyone that thinks Peterson will beat Suozzi is an idiot. By the way to all the GOP hacks out there who think Peterson will beat Suozzi & spout off about it. Grow some balls and post your e-mail like I have, so we can keep in touch when the election is over. Because well I jnow you will go run & hide when the Peterson predictions turn oh so wrong

YOUR A F**KING MORON!!!

PETERSEN AS OLD HE IS IS GOING TO KICK TOM SOUZZIS ASS ON ELECTION DAY!!!

The Leg approved the budget and Suozzi signed it the next day, so all the claims that the Dems were putting it off so he wouldn't have to sign it unil after the election were proven to be BS, just like everything else every Rep has said during this campaign. They try to take every act, every LEGAL act, and turn it into something that the Dems are doing for shady reasons. Fortunately, the truth always reveals them to be pathetic liars who grasp at straws.

Obviously, it WASN'T being delayed so he could hold off on signing it, so you were all either ignorant or liars. Its pretty sad when those are the only choices..

You people bitch that we need more cops, so we got more cops, and now you all bitch that NIFA didn't do its job. This is beyond embarrassing for you.

[Why are you so dumb?]

Nifa hasn't even looked at it yet and if you had half a brain you'd realize that's exactly what the legislator did - they modified the budget in ways Suozzi said he didn't want and basically put him to the wall. Peterson was in his face forcing the issue. Suozzi caved, like Suozzi always does - and signed the budget in the face of all the media attention, even though, it contained alot that he didn't want and struck out alot of what he wanted. And if you bothered to take a look at the numbers - none of the projected spending is funding. The details are left loose with the caveat that they're leaving it to the office of budget to figure out how to fund the spending. On top of that, the tax assessment refunds that got Gulotta into trouble in the first place, are still just sitting there, unpaid and unaccounted for - just waiting until the end of the year when the bonding for them expires and Suozzi's so-called balanced budget - balanced with alot of spending and no specific source of funding - simply because there's an alleged paper surplus - this so-called budget makes no provision as to how he's going to manage those refunds in the face of losing the bonding that yes, Gulotta put in place again working with the State when he secured Suozzi's $100 million bailout money and sought Nifa advisement. Meanwhile, the 2007 budget has additional tax increases and an energy tax, and we know Levinson is gun ho about adding an income tax and increasing the sales tax to the whole Suozzi tax package. Suozzi is sounding more like Bush every day. Bush's daddy couldn't beat-up Iraq so Bush did and Suozzi's daddy couldn't get elected CE so Suozzi did = sound's to me like Suozzi's moving more and more right every day. He stands for nothing and waivers in his beliefs more and more. He's just empty. An empty lot of nothing.

[Greg's Own Words]

Nov. 2, 2005
Good Evening


Dear Nassau County Residents:

As I have traveled throughout Nassau these last few months, many residents have asked me, "Why are you running?" The answer is easy:

Simply put, Nassau County is going in the wrong direction.

Over the last four years, we have watched county government fall out of touch with the people it is supposed to serve. The current administration - known for engaging in near fisticuffs with legislators who don't support its agenda completely - is not responsive to our needs. Unlike the present County Executive, I will do everything possible to build a meaningful, working relationship with all members of the County Legislature, regardless of party. Republicans and Democrats must work together if Nassau is to be placed back on the right track.

Moreover, I will actively seek - not ignore - the input of our residents.

Our county is at a crossroads. The outcome of this year's election will determine whether Nassau remains a suburban community of which we can be proud or whether overbuilding, skyrocketing taxes and a shrinking police force will make our neighborhoods less desirable places in which to live.

You know it and I know it: Spiraling property taxes are breaking our budgets. While taxes rise out of control, our police department gets smaller and smaller, allowing gangs to get a foothold in Nassau County. Traffic gets worse and worse while the county pushes for additional development - including a massive, 60 story complex in our already congested hub area near the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

It doesn't have to be this way. Who you vote for does make a difference.

Here are some facts you should consider before casting your vote for County Executive:

On taxes:

As a candidate, Tom Suozzi promised to find creative solutions to Nassau's fiscal problems but, once elected, he took the easy way out. He didn't cut costs; he dug deeper into our wallets. Tom Suozzi increased our real property taxes nearly 20% his first year in office.

To add insult to injury, the county also began a practice of reassessing homes every year. As a result, and as demonstrated by the school tax bills which were mailed earlier this month, property taxes for homeowners are out of control and continue to skyrocket.

This increased tax burden places hardships on taxpayers. Many have moved or are giving thought to leaving Nassau County. Our children cannot afford to purchase homes in the communities where they grew up. The American Dream is a reality for fewer and fewer young families in Nassau.

As your County Executive,
I will go to court, if necessary, to freeze assessments for five years at a time.

This will help provide stability for Nassau County taxpayers. Spiraling home assessments, and the higher taxes they bring, are killing us.
On the safety of our communities:

Despite paying the highest taxes in Nassau's history, Nassau residents are being short-changed in terms of the police protection that government provides to them. Politicians - many from outside our area and unfamiliar with the needs of a suburban community - have ineffectively micromanaged the police department and compromised its effectiveness.

Fact: Under the Suozzi administration, more than 500 experienced law enforcement officers have left police service. Every division has been affected.

The gang task force - created in 2003 to combat the growing infiltration of Nassau by members of urban gangs - has been dissolved because there weren't enough police officers to staff it. Understaffing has also led to the county's inability to monitor convicted child molesters, as required under Megan's Law. The time it takes police to respond to emergency calls is not what it should be.

Police levels matter. As size of the police force declines, crime goes up. In the first six months of this year, sex crimes in Nassau rose by 20 percent, robberies were up 23 percent, and the number of murders doubled when compared to the same period last year. At this time, home-invasion robberies are up a terrifying 75 percent over all of last year and gang activity is more prevalent than ever.

As your County Executive, I will appoint a law enforcement administration with suburban experience: one that understands the need for community policing and that will not tolerate gang activity. I will work to reduce overtime expenses by hiring more police officers. This will increase the presence of law enforcement personnel in our neighborhoods and prevent crime.

On congestion and overdevelopment:

Nassau County is rapidly becoming overbuilt. Our infrastructure can't handle the continued overdevelopment of real estate.

Traffic is becoming unbearable. Many of our schools are overcrowded.

How residents vote for County Executive next month will largely determine whether Nassau remains a suburban environment or if the county continues to take on urban characteristics.

The current administration favors the urbanization of Nassau County, as demonstrated by its support for a 60-story skyscraper, surrounded by other superstructures, near the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. So enamored of this project is County Executive Tom Suozzi that he privately negotiated an agreement with a developer to permit its construction without competition. Fortunately, members of the County Legislature slowed the process to give competing developers an opportunity to make proposals for the land although the time for competition was extremely limited.

Here's where I stand on the development of the so-called "coliseum property:"

The development of this prime 77 acre county owned real estate will have a direct impact on our lives and the lives of many future generations. I am opposed to the development of skyscrapers - and the traffic they bring - in our suburban community. But my personal opinion regarding the development of this property is not the issue here. The issue is that the Suozzi administration attempted to leave the residents and County Legislature out of the decision-making process.

As your County Executive, I will maintain an "open door" policy for all residents and all the county legislators. Unlike Mr. Suozzi, I will seek an appraisal to determine the property's fair market value, keeping the public and county legislators informed and seeking their input. Then, with a value in mind, I would give developers three months to submit their innovative ideas for development of this valued site. Nothing would move forward until the public had an opportunity to comment on the proposals that were offered.

On maintaining Nassau's valuable parks:

Government land is held in trust for the resident taxpayers. This is something that the Suozzi administration simply doesn't understand.

Case in point: Between 2002 and 2004, the maintenance of county parks was ignored. The park's administrative staff increased (including eleven high-salaried deputy commissioners). During the same time, the number of labor-class employees plummeted.

Visit a county park and you'll find plantings that are dead or dying due to neglect. Broken park benches and apparatus have been painted over but not fixed. Children are now being charged to use a pool slide. Because sufficient laborers do not exist to maintain our parks, volunteers are being sought for this purpose.

Taxpayers and their families should be able to visit a well-kept, safe county park for pleasure and not be "invited" to clean-up the park as volunteers. As your County Executive, I would reduce the number of administrative personnel and increase the labor force needed to properly maintain the park system. Unlike the flagrant window-dressing attempt of the present administration, my administration will respect and maintain the parks infrastructure so our facilities can be safely enjoyed by taxpayers.

On the need for integrity in government:

These have been disappointing days for taxpayers. Newspapers have been filled with stories about corruption and scandal.

Perhaps the biggest issue in this campaign involves integrity. The people who pay the bills - our hard-working taxpayers - are entitled to elected officials of whom they can be proud.

Consider this:

Appointments made under the Suozzi administration have repeatedly embarrassed Nassau County. In one situation, a deputy county executive was arrested and another resigned in a scandal involving falsified timesheets. Two non-resident, highly paid "consulting" employees were appointed, one arrested the other fired. A "whistleblower" has alleged - and an investigation is underway into charges - that taxpayer funded employees were forced to do political campaign work when they should have been performing the governmental functions that they were being paid for.

There is no room in local government for the ethically challenged.

Nassau residents should not be subjected to a government of mismanagement and scandals. As County Executive, I will change the direction of county government by appointing a concerned, professional administrative staff that will get the job done with integrity.

I am looking forward to working with you to achieve these goals by structuring a county government of which we can all be proud.

Thank you for your vote on November 8th.

Sincerely,
Gregory P. Peterson

Nifa hasn't even looked at it yet and if you had half a brain you'd realize that's exactly what the legislator did - they modified the budget in ways Suozzi said he didn't want and basically put him to the wall. Peterson was in his face forcing the issue. Suozzi caved, like Suozzi always does - and signed the budget in the face of all the media attention, even though, it contained alot that he didn't want and struck out alot of what he wanted. And if you bothered to take a look at the numbers - none of the projected spending is funding. The details are left loose with the caveat that they're leaving it to the office of budget to figure out how to fund the spending. On top of that, the tax assessment refunds that got Gulotta into trouble in the first place, are still just sitting there, unpaid and unaccounted for - just waiting until the end of the year when the bonding for them expires and Suozzi's so-called balanced budget - balanced with alot of spending and no specific source of funding - simply because there's an alleged paper surplus - this so-called budget makes no provision as to how he's going to manage those refunds in the face of losing the bonding that yes, Gulotta put in place again working with the State when he secured Suozzi's $100 million bailout money and sought Nifa advisement. Meanwhile, the 2007 budget has additional tax increases and an energy tax, and we know Levinson is gun ho about adding an income tax and increasing the sales tax to the whole Suozzi tax package. Suozzi is sounding more like Bush every day. Bush's daddy couldn't beat-up Iraq so Bush did and Suozzi's daddy couldn't get elected CE so Suozzi did = sound's to me like Suozzi's moving more and more right every day. He stands for nothing and waivers in his beliefs more and more. He's just empty. An empty lot of nothing.

-------------------
Nifa hasn't even looked at it yet

...and let me guess. If NIFA is ok with it, then you'll accuse NIFA of caving in, too and being Suozzi lapdogs, right?
--------------------
Peterson was in his face forcing the issue.

...you don't actually know when Suozzi would have signed it, do you? He might have signed it the same day anyway, right? But since you don't know you can just pretend he did it because Greg pressured him. How nice.
-------------------------------
even though, it contained alot that he didn't want and struck out alot of what he wanted.

...that's because he's not a King. Compromise is necessary sometimes. Maybe it would have been better if he just made up revenues to pay for everything. No wait, the prior adminstration did that.
--------------------------
none of the projected spending is funding.

...just a lie. plan and simple
-----------------------------------
when he secured Suozzi's $100 million bailout money and sought Nifa advisement....

...and why was that needed again? Why did he need to be bailed out? Was the county only 100 million in debt at the time?

------------------------------------
Meanwhile, the 2007 budget has additional tax increases and an energy tax..

..yes, the same way that the past 2 multi year plans had potential reductions in services in them for 2005 and 2006, but they did not have to be made when it got to that time. That's what a PLAN is. It doesn't mean it is going to happen. If you knew anything about finance you'd know that.

Good night to all you Pinocchio's out there.

[Peterson is gaining]

There's a poll on another political website that shows Peterson getting 59% of the vote, but it's a poll that includes only Suozzi & Peterson. Thanks to Bogsted - Bruno could take some votes from Peterson but I doubt it'll be more than 5%. That still gives Peterson a good chance to win. The debate really shot up his numbers, and the way he rode Suozzi on the budget was priceless. He made sense in his interview too, even though Newsday was so transparent in trying to set him up. Peterson's website protest also zoomed incredibly. It only got posted a couple weeks ago, and I first saw it - there was only maybe a dozen names. He's got hundreds now, in only a couple weeks time so it bears really well on the election. These are the people unafraid to come out as Peterson supporters, and for every one of them, there are probably another 2 that are closet supporters because they don't want Suozzi to know they plan on betraying him. The rest probably haven't found the website or aren't looking. Ever notice how all Suozzi people do is ask questions and challenge Republicans to answer them - and when they do - the Suozzi people just claim they're lying because they can't come back with any of their own facts? They're fakes and phonies and they've been outed. Peterson's people are going to carry him across the thresh-hold and Suozzi's traitors are going to hold it open. Bye Bye Bogsted - Hello Donovan - the Conservatives will be in for quite a shake-up and Kapsis will once and for all be given a very loud and clear message from the Independents too.

THATS HILARIOUS. Basing it off an internet poll. ROTFLMMFAO.

This is the 3rd time in the last 3 days that I've seen some lying Rep make reference to yet another mysterious poll that reflects in their favor, yet they never identify the source of these polls or tell us where we can find them. Even if you're not allowed to post links we all know there are ways to get your point across so we'd know where to look. So telling us about a poll but not where to find it is proof that it doesn't exist. After all the lying the Reps have done in this campaign, this is just a small one.

When do Reps ever answer our questions? There has been a post on this site now asking them to explain the 42% property tax increase figure that has been viewed over 200 times without a single answer, yet the Reps keep claiming its true even though not one of them can explain it. Lying in response to a question is not the same as answering it.

Dennenberg Tobak Abrams Goodman - let's talk about lying shall we?

The problem for Suozzi is that he's become so much of a showman - he's developed the ability to convince even himself that he's telling the truth even when he's lying. The lines for him are all blurred - so blurred that he plucked from Philadelphia a DA candidate who herself is a defendant in a serious case whereby she is alleged to have surborned perjury by threatening a witness with jail time, if the witness didn't testify against the defendant, even after the witness told her that the defendant is an innocent man. That's how far she'll stoop - you don't want a DA who is more concerned with getting a conviction than getting the truth. Well, normal people don't. Suozzi doesn't care and Newsday refused to give the readers the information. But then again, Suozzi's comptroller hired a Newsday accountant who was convicted of defrauding advertisers by doctoring up the books. One would think you wouldn't want a character like working in the County's alleged watchdog agency, alongside the SEC specialist they also hired - but apparently Weitzman and Suozzi do. Why not? They hired a bankrupt Peter Sylver to handle a multi-million dollar economic development agency, hired Nation of Islam activistis and took them to Albany with them to campaign for Suozzi on County time - then lied about it, or tried to and hired Borin from the NYC assessors office to run Nassau County's Assessment Review Office after all his NYC Assessors got indicted for taking bribes. This is Suozzi. He is not sure of the difference between the truth and a lie - and to him, it doesn't seem to matter. Vote for Peterson in 2005.

:P
