Department Reviews to Start April 1

[Little Robbie's Friend]

Inquiry to focus on ordinance, 11th hour hires and title elimination. Special attention to those who gave to the losing candidate.

[Kiss My Shamrock]

This would explain why they transferred 3 auditors from the comptrollers office to the Uniondale Social Services building. Shady dealings are the norm when it comes to the free wheeling spending of taxpayer money for welfare client's.

[No2]

Inquiry to focus on ordinance, 11th hour hires and title elimination. Special attention to those who gave to the losing candidate.

Time to sharpen your pencils and get started on your resumes. You escaped January 1, but you will not be here for long. Best of luck and don't let the door hit you in the a^s on the way out.

Don't forget to ask for a refund from the losing candidate. Next time give to the GOP.

[TheSchwartzReport]

Inquiry to focus on ordinance, 11th hour hires and title elimination. Special attention to those who gave to the losing candidate.

Who will be first?

[240 questions]

There has been no information reported here on Cedar Creek, that huge warehouse called a lab on Main street or Health. Is anything going to change in any of these locations?

[3 months too late]

how many times have we heard this one?
why are they making such a production over it?
hired by suozzi? fired.
promoted by suozzi? fired.
traitors who stayed through suozzi's administration? fired.
there you go. review over.
they dont want to get rid of anyone. and they cant face telling their supporters. they're hoping people cant afford to keep waiting and will take private sector jobs so they dont have fill in the pink slips.

[appreciative]

appreciate your opinion, but can you answer the question regarding the above departments?

So if you were a sleazy Gulotta hack who went to Post Ave to beg for the job and then got hired and did your job and fed your family and after a few years got promoted you should be fired? You are a moron!

April 1st, how appropriate.

This is BS!!!!!!!!!!

The number of Suozzi holder overs is amazing. All of those who worked their ass off for Mangano are still waiting and waiting. What a joke.

He was quick to hire a felon and his sister.

fired? kicked to the curb baby. oh yeah. playing with the other side kissing their ass and playing like you support em - becoming one of em while watching your brothers get thrown under the bus? yeah baby. you one of the other side now. fire your ass.

Mangano patronage would be just as wrong as Suozzi patraonge. If they worked for Mangano only to get handed jobs then they are as corrupt as any other hack. I thought you people wanted Mangano in office to END the patronage, not switch it to your side. Maybe there should be a job title in county called "hypocrite".

[UnregisteredSnowBoy]

For those still left in Consumer Affairs.... your days are numbered....

thats the game. and the rules. change the game & the rules and nobody comes out to work for anybody running for anything except a few wingnuts with nothing better to do and unrealistic idealism - ie - college kids. Even they are looking for jobs now too. once you coddle the holdovers and ignore the workers or have them go bankrupt waiting for jobs they were all but promised you change the rules and the game and fuck your whole party,

today at the bar association a bunch of us campaign workers met for lunch. all counting nickles and pennies trying to pay the bill. 8 of us. table over were the holdovers from the county laughing at us and paying with hundred dollar bills and they said grace over a picture of suozzi.

[Consumers1]

Those of us still left at Consumer Affairs Dept. are "untouchable". Unless we want to be touched. Which we do.

[Unregistered11530]

Gee, what would happen if Ed actually hired people who could do the job?

Maybe there would be less campaign workers in the future - would that be a bad thing?

Maybe then it wouldn't cost so much to run a campaign and the candidate wouldn't "owe" so much to so many "supporters".

Maybe then we could actually have candidates who cared about the job as opposed to the one who worked his way up through the party ranks.

Maybe then regualr people could hold office for a term or two and then go back "real life". Kind of like the founding fathers intended.

Our system was not set up to have lifelong politicians - that is why we broke away from England. We were sick of entitled people being granted land and power. The American way used to be to work to achieve something, not ride on someone's coattails.

I agree completely. You eliminate the corrupt incentives and all you have left are sincere people with pure motives. But wouldn't that be better than what we have now? Instead of having to give out 100 jobs to people who helped the campaign the winner would be able to just give jobs to the people who deserve them and who earned them. If you work to get someone elected then having that person in office should be enough for you, since that it really why you worked for them right?

Would you rather have 70% voter turnout with 69% of it people who are only trying to feather their own nests, or 25% turnout, of which all of it are people who are truly civic minded? I'll take the latter. But now I'll go back to my birdge game with Sasquatch, The Tooth Fairy and my unicorn.

[Unregistered Sunny Day]

Once Ed cleans house, he needs to get people who know how to do the job. unlike the Bogsted, Hansen, Reed, Heino regime that ran it in the past.

Thanks for cleaning up Nassau ED.

You presume the campaign workers are unqualified for any County job currently filled by a Suozzi worker. False presumption. We are not saying take a fireman and hire him as a policeman. We are saying get rid of Suozzi's fireman and replace him with a Mangano fireman, who might actually be a better fit for the county and the job. Certainly for the new administration.

[pretty darned ironic]

I beg your pardon. We do want a ruling class. Democracy is a failed experiment. Have you seen the voter turnout for recent elections? Its far too much trouble to have these constant elections -- that cost millions to run and which so few people entitled to vote bother to attend -- when coupled with these self-serving politicans and their hacks who only seem to foment trouble and endless rumors about "who's in" and "who's out" of power and position. Besides, political parties have made a mockery of the elective process. They have a stranglehold on the ballot based on their petty rules and processes. Only an "annointed few" ever get a chance to run for office. It constricts the debate on issues and results in the elected owing allegiance to their party supporters, not the voters.
Far better to have someone "annointed by G-d to rule" who bestows land and power based on known veniality rather than these loser politicians who drape everything in a cloak of geniality and high ideals. In fact, perhaps we can bring back the idea of armed combat to settle disputes between ruling poseurs...sale tickets...pay off the county debt...reduce the excess population...

You gotta love the exquisite, truth telling, sarcasm imbued, nihilistic point of view.

[Principessa]

Ah! The response from "U R a Retard" to my missive is marvelous!! The erudition!! The ability to condense in so few words the essence of an idea. I am so sad that I lack this ability. I thank you kind sir, for providing additional proof that my thesis related to the inability of the general population to rule themselves is correct!

It is discourse like that -- attack the person, not the idea..not the argument--that proves the point. Perhaps you could have said, "Sir, you must be one of the congentially deficient mumblers that inhabit the bowels of the county's two major political parties. The parties that periodically spew forth toxic fumes of candidates in order to alleviate the flatuence that fills the empty void between their words and actions." That at least would have been more poetic and readable, but unfortunately (fortunately?) untrue as to my current condition.

As for nihilistic points of view...to quote the marvelous Dumas, "tous pour un, un pour tous." The essence of democracy or socialism? Perhaps the Russian nihilistic movement of the 19th century should take hold in NC...it would be a refreshing change of pace, n'est pas?

[sour cream & chives]

everytime I turne around I hear about someone else having been hired - a whole bunch of secret job meetings took place and people are working. So if noone got fired I guess government just got bigger.

Your skills at English are only surpassed by your skills in French...or anglo saxon slang....I applaud you in your attempts but believe you need to go back to the English/French dictionary and try again...also read some Dumas and perhaps some Descartes...when you are finished practising that which you preach on your own poor spawn...

They're hiring alright. It's obvious by the lack of empty desks. Big government is only good for small minded politicians. Just ask Obozo.

[Penelope]

Oh! That was the problem! Here I thought you had an inkling of true knowledge and you relied on Google. LOL Forgive me then if I seemed harsh in my remarks as I believed I was speaking to someone who understood French, the historical language of diplomacy.

"Reposer" as a French verb doesn't mean "to relax" it means "to be at rest." You would use it in English--or should I say those who speak English would use it-- (for example) in much the same way, for example, "we pray for the repose of their souls." We want their souls to rest, not relax. Therefore the phrase (properly translated) means, "Naturally, not father or son but the love of language can rest in any man." Rely on Google? Excuse me, giggle...

Now, my sweet little anglo saxon cavemen, I bide thee all adieu as this is getting soooo boring....

[empty desks]

They're hiring alright. It's obvious by the lack of empty desks. Big government is only good for small minded politicians. Just ask Obozo.

Yes but were these desks already emptied during the Suozzi years by natural regressions? I think so. They were not fired by the Mangano people. They were just not there and not being replaced.

[STARTING?]

What is wrong with these jerks? The new people should have been put in place 3 months ago & they're starting to think about it now?

I hope they enjoy their little ride because it won't last.
The second the new administration becomes the old administration - everyone will be cleaned out.

We'll get it in writing from the candidates next time.

[SayHelloToMyLittleFriend]

Inquiry to focus on ordinance, 11th hour hires and title elimination. Special attention to those who gave to the losing candidate.

This is going to be fun to watch. Payback is a bitch isn't it. You should have remembered to be nice to those on your way up, because you will be seeing them again soon, asshole.

What is the diff between a Suozzi fireman and a Mangano fireman? How might one be better for the admin? How is a different fireman a better fit for the county, assuming they are all trained and tested?

This is ridiculous. Are you implying the Suozzi fireman will not work as hard under the Mangano admin and just let stuff burn or take his time responding to calls to make Mangano look bad? What absurd logic.

I thought the Reps were tired of patronage and just wanted the best people for all jobs. No wait...I never thought that.

Using the fireman model, a traditional GOP administration would hire a fireman either through a civil service list or appoint him or her. Sometimes recommendations may be taken from the community, but essentially only one person would be hired.

Under Suozzi, what you would get would be a department of Firemen, all from NYC, who had connections to Cuomo or Shelly or whoever who could help Suozzi supposedly in a primary for statewide office, and you would have at least five "administrators" hired at six figure salaries, along with about a dozen supervisors hired in the $75K to $95K range, also from NYC or Suffolk, with some token representation from Long Beach and Glen Cove. These would be hired effective immediately, and would write a report, which would recommend that a person be hired to actually put out fires. Someone at $35K a year is hired as a "consultant" with no benefits to actually go to the fires and bring a hose.

Mangano's heart appears to be in the right place, and hopefully will do the best thing he can governmentally. His administration is not off to as fast a start as some would want, but part of being an administrator is saying "no" to your friends sometimes.

[viva walker]

Idiot - fireman and policeman were quite obviously used as examples. Fill in any holdover in any job to be replaced with a republican pick.

Look up the definition of patronage - the only ones tired of it are people like you - Suozzi era holdovers who liked the idea 8 years ago & now pretend they don't get it now.

Mangano never promised no patronage. He promised no non-nassau county residents would be employed by the county and he promised smaller government work force, less ordinance workers. Not no patronage workers.

[amen brother]

Baby steps are nice folks but what we want to see is action.

amen brother - we wanted to see it 3 months ago.

[saying no sometimes]

"Mangano's heart appears to be in the right place, and hopefully will do the best thing he can governmentally. His administration is not off to as fast a start as some would want, but part of being an administrator is saying "no" to your friends sometimes.[/QUOTE]

saying no too many times means he wont be an administrator next term. you kinda need friends & best not to forget that. suozzi had none.

[Too slow]

It appears what CE Mangano wants is not carried out by the dept administrators. His word has no bite with depts. They are ignoring his and Walkers directives. They need to be a little stronger when dealing with these dept heads who do not consider him a threat to their position. Very sad......because Ed and Rob are good men and their names are now being compared to pansies.

[Pansies]

They are Pansies and Marys. No one listens to them they do what they want Walker and Mangano are spinning their wheels and releying on Vollies,Dems and Non Residents to run the County. This is a waste of time, this will be a one term wonder.

[Getting Raises]

Ha ha - 3 weeks later - reviews over. All Suozzi's appointments getting raises. I wonder how many of them carried petitions for Mangano & the Tax Revolt line, knocked on doors distributing literature, made phone calls, organized absentee ballots, worked the recount & donated money? Umnn - my guess .... none. It pays to do nothing.

[TotalBull]

Who is getting raises? This is bull!

Even a quick review will show that Suozzi's appointments are not qualified to do the jobs that they bought with their campaign donations to him. Hopefully this is what is being looked at during the process.

[Park Bench]

This makes NO sense.....if I ran my business the same way government runs...I would be OUT of business........the corruption continues no matter which party is in power

Don't count on it. Suozzi people are here to stay. Mangano doesn't have the balls to fire them. Suozzi has Ed's balls in a mason jar in his cellar.

[3 second review]

Even a quick review will show that Suozzi's appointments are not qualified to do the jobs that they bought with their campaign donations to him. Hopefully this is what is being looked at during the process.

Its really quite simple. You practiced criminal law for a lifetime - not experienced for civil law unless you're taking an entry level job.

You never practiced in an area before - not experienced to supervise the bureau or any of the attorneys in it.

You only practiced in one area your whole career - not experienced to manage attorneys in other areas.

Look at the experience beyond the date of hire & the date of promotion - and it becomes very, very obvious.

If the subordinates claim they weren't trained by the supervisors in charge - the supervisors don't belong there.

PS - Juvenile Delinquency is a specialty area. CIVIL LITIGATION by the way.

[elections reviews]

The reviews for our elected officials came in too - informals polls show everyone unhappy with the new administration except the suozzi democrats who think they got away with something - which they did. If the administration means they're gonna get their undying gratitude because they were allowed to keep their jobs - they better think again. These holdovers are walking all over the place feeling superior & starting to openly mock the new republicans - treating them like the lame ducks they already are becoming.

Wow - can't wait to get to work so I can suck it up yet again today. Thanks Mangano. Great fucking ass job you're doing - soooo happy I put your signs up .

[but wait there's]

Mangano's plan for the department is to contract out the significant county work and ignore and marginalize the department.

Bush ran the country this way why can't Mangano run the county for the year or two he has left? Apres moi, le deluge he says.

Better check Your fact's, SOUZZI farmed out jobs to temp. companies who were his contributors The so called Union signed off on this not to make waves, and or payoff's to Jerry. You know he does such a fine job, but that another story. At least what I have heard that they are trying to get out of these contracts and save the County money.

That's funny because all the holdovers in every department keep telling Mangano that the reason their staffs quadrupled is because they got rid of the outside help.

Obviously its because they got internet access, cell phones, friends that coverup for each other working together & take 5 hour long breaks all day.

The first thing businesses do when they take over another company is break up the cliques by moving people around & putting in their own supervisors.

That wasn't done anywhere in the county when the takeover happened.

They should ALL be held the to In Time rules like everyone else but, I would like YOU to tell me WHERE and IN WHAT Department has the staff quadrupled? I have many friends that work throughout the County and by what I have heard is that people are NOT being replaced by anyone. They are having their work loads increased and being told to make it work! Also for the coming in and moving people around so to shake things up and to show WHO'S in charge now is not how to run a business. To many people Without managerial skill fall into this pattern, they should first look to see how thing are working and then make needed changes.

Am I missing something? Nothing works. That's why the county is in the shape its in. Mangano was a legislator before becoming the county executive and should have known that better than most. What are they looking at? They were voting in & people were expected to lose their jobs when the new administration took over. What part of this equation can't these people understand?

[They are lying then]

I was told they tried to fire 5 people in family court - they should have had 10 people on the list - and the bureau chief, a $110,000 holdover with no prior experience - went over Ciampoli's head to Mangano & told him she needed her friends or children would be jeopardized so nobody got fired. That was such a joke. Pree 2000 that bureau had 1 - 2 people in support, 2 people in juvenile delinquencies & 4 people in child abuse and 1 of those people was a bureau chief and the other a deputy bureau chief both carrying full caseloads. Could the bureau have used a couple more hands? Sure. But how many are there now? And at what salaries?

Believe me - nobody in that county is working too hard.

[Butt he didnt]

Once Ed cleans house, he needs to get people who know how to do the job. unlike the Bogsted, Hansen, Reed, Heino regime that ran it in the past.

Thanks for cleaning up Nassau ED.

He didn't clean up. He's got democrats evaluating the republicans and the republicans - well, look at the lineup. Supporters have erased all signs that they ever supported him. Nobody expects a second term. One miracle was enough.

So finally they did get rid of some people but other dems still are there and the chief who lied to them initially about staffing levels is still getting her 6 figure salary. No wonder these people can't get anything to work. But like everyone is saying - they did it to themselves.

What an outrageous statement!

Many of us are doing the work of at least 3 people, and are being driven crazy by our supervisors and the ordinances. We keep having to answer to everyone at once. Its ridiculous. In the meantime, we are dealing with a very angry public who already isn't happy about cuts in funding. I can sympathize with them, I'm unhappy about the cuts I'm getting too. Especially when I see some one's 20 something yr old gets a great job starting at $90,000, when I'm told I make too much and need to "sacrifice" and don't make anything near that salary after many years. This administration - like the Suozzi administration before them - takes advantage of the union workers. Jerry shouldn't be letting this happen.

Thats how it is in the republican club. All you have to do is be born to a politically active parent and everything gets handed to you - doors open, people step aside and you don't have qualify or worry about your future jobs.
And yet idiots keep funding them and keep working for them because their egos like that they can say - oh - I know so and so. Except so and so will never do anything for them. And people like you and I and the idiots that do all the work for them - get squeezed. When your usefulness is over, you are tossed aside and they look for the next young fool to take your place.

It's not a republican or democrat club. What's the difference between the Mangano Administration, and the Suozzi Administration? Its the ruling class and their inner circle, whether democrat or republican. They complain about entitlements, yet they are the ones who feel so entitled. No matter who is in power, they treat the middle class like we are their personal ATM machines.

What is an ordinance worker?

[not ord]

What is an ordinance worker?

A political appointee.

They make 2 - 3 times the salary of union workers, and get full benefits after only 5 years. They usually are rude, bossy, and are there to make sure the favors are done for the politically connected.

Its unfortunate that his is still so prevalent in the county. Even today, ordinances are coming in our office and yelling at us to put work of another politically connected person ahead of all the rest so he doesn't wait more than 24 hours. Its insulting, as us workers are now going to wait yet another year for a raise. The privileged class can't wait a day. Its pathetic.

Ah! The response from "U R a Retard" to my missive is marvelous!! The erudition!! The ability to condense in so few words the essence of an idea. I am so sad that I lack this ability. I thank you kind sir, for providing additional proof that my thesis related to the inability of the general population to rule themselves is correct!

It is discourse like that -- attack the person, not the idea..not the argument--that proves the point. Perhaps you could have said, "Sir, you must be one of the congentially deficient mumblers that inhabit the bowels of the county's two major political parties. The parties that periodically spew forth toxic fumes of candidates in order to alleviate the flatuence that fills the empty void between their words and actions." That at least would have been more poetic and readable, but unfortunately (fortunately?) untrue as to my current condition.

As for nihilistic points of view...to quote the marvelous Dumas, "tous pour un, un pour tous." The essence of democracy or socialism? Perhaps the Russian nihilistic movement of the 19th century should take hold in NC...it would be a refreshing change of pace, n'est pas?


I agree absolutely with the idea of that America has become a place where intelectually lazy arrogant little people pick sides and defend a paticular perspective ...A perspective They have come to know and believe from information they provide themselves while sitting on a couch and being entertained by a television or radio personality
As opposed to a real investigation of the facts that come from reading…and thinking about ...and considering both sides of an argument and having arguments about facts as in private and public discourse as opposed to arguing about personalities and whose side we are on
And than in most cases do not vote anyway

Voters are stupid. That's what it comes down to. I was at a debate that Carolyn McCarthy was at, among many others. There were alot of questions and comments related to Obama's Health Care bill - alot of concerns about people losing the insurance they have & not being able to afford insurance anymore or getting stuck paying for extended medicaid. McCarthy's arrogant response was that noone will lose the insurance they still have and that she has very good health insurance & then shrugged her shoulders a couple times. I bet she does have a very good health insurance - and so why wouldn't she vote for something that the rest of us will be stuck with. And even after THAT - the voters elected her AGAIN into an office where you can't even get anyone to return a phone call, let alone help you with any issues you might have.

The truth is that nobody really bothers to vote - the turnout gets lower and lower every year and most of the people coming out are political insiders with jobs to protect or reclaim.

Now Mangano is giving the holdovers yet another chance to retire - instead of doing what he should have done - so we get to pay for all their pretend retroactive time owed to them that they really accumulated while working in NY County or elsewhere - plus lifetime health benefits and a huge pension where they got paid tremendous salaries over the past 3 years, including under Suozzi - instead of making the hard decision to fire them.

Once again - he choose them over the taxpayers and it is no wonder NIFA has to supervise him. AND it is no wonder he will be voted out in a couple more years.

Whatever administration is in charge always seems to find money to throw at friends and political connections. It still is going on, along with crazy spending on "extras" that we shouldn't be doing right now. I'm sure the CSEA family who has their car repossessed, or their home foreclosed due to Suozzi / Mangano & friends' overspending, will be really happy to know they can go play ball on a turf field! The money was there, it just wasn't spent wisely.

Yeah - but these imbeciles don't seem to know their friends from their opponents. They sided again and again on the side of the holdovers over their friends. Now they have none. People are laughing at them. Its one term - and out he goes. And his "friends" are the ones that are gonna see to it. That's how Suozzi got voted in back in 2001 - soldiers were disgruntled. Mondello had to move to the State to garner some new friends and now he's back - letting Mangano run - BIG mistake. It would have been better to have lost - let Suozzi face the music - and then come in with a LOYAL republican in 2013. Instead, unless there's a republican primary or Mangano steps off - the County goes back to the Dems who will then take credit for the second time - for improving the County's economy.

[222222]

And what tricks will the Dems have up their sleeves to continue spending increases which go un-opposed by NIFA?

You are definitely right, it would have been better if Ed had lost. There was so much that could have been done to get this county back on the right track. Unfortunately, more political cronies, payouts, contracts, games. So sad to see a great opportunity lost.

Why are people like this are aloud to vote, no wonder we are in trouble. The ony thing that matters is that his side wins, he would love to see the county go under with a democrat at the helm.
