Desperate Times, Desperate Flyers

Today, Spin Cycle on Newsday had a stunning report. The Democrats, who after eight years of total control of County Government would by common sense be touting their accomplishments, have come out with a new flyer. It ties Chris Browne, a young Republican who was probably in law school back when Gulotta reigned supreme, to the Tom Gulotta machine.

I couldn't stop laughing. I saw the flyer last week. Browne has NOTHING to do with the Gulotta era. Neither does Ed Mangano. And the Suozzi corruption and pay to play makes whatever may have gone on during the Gulotta years look like kisses.

The real shark is Tom Suozzi. Eight years ago, he got a gift from the state that bailed him out. Now, he's dug a deeper hole. And there's no one to save him.

Tom isn't stupid. He knows what is happening. So he's touring the state promoting a surrealistic tax cap -- a cap that is ironic considering that Suozzi has taxed Nassau into literal submission.

His goal is to get out of here. He wants to get something statewide. So rather than focus on the county's problems he is focusing on his ambitions and propping up David Paterson.

But we need more than that. Tom Suozzi has been gorging himself on Nassau County like a he's shark and we're the bait. It's time the bait got together and turned on this shark and shows him who's boss.
