May 8, 2006 (Mineola) The results are in for the Long
Island Marathon and the Republican delegation of the
Nassau County Legislature has denounced the results.
"Once again we see that Tom Suozzi and the Democrat
party are giving Queens residents preferential
treatment." Minority Leader Peter Schmitt said
refering to the winner of the marathon Carlos Grisales
living in College Point. "I don't know why Suozzi
could not get a Nassau County resident to win."
Schmitt continued, "Democrat Legislator Dave Mejias
even ran the race and didn't do anything about it.
Mejias is just another Suozzi rubber-stamp."
Republican spokesman Ed Ward said in a prepared
statement "Of the top five runners, only one was from
Nassau County. Three were from Queens and the other
came from New Jersey. If County Executive Suozzi would
spend more time in Nassau County instead of running
for governor, this wouldn't happen. We need a
full-time county executive who will make sure the Long
Island Marathon is won by the taxpayers who pay his
salary."
Legislator Denise Ford (R-Long Beach) tells NGW "I say
whatever Peter Schmitt says. That's my own opinion. I
am an inpependent thinker and I independently thought
to agree with whatever Peter Schmitt says."
Legisaltors Nicollelo, Muscarella, Gonsalves, Mangano,
Becker and Ciotti all said the same thing Leg. Ford
said.
Legislator Dennis Dunne (R-Levitown) said "I was stuck
in my car on Old Country Road for a couple of hours.
Whats with all the people in the street?"
The Nassau County Republican party plans to use the
race results in a new series of television ads called
"Suozzi Can't Run from Marathon Results." The ads are
expected to blanket local cable channels by weeks end.
