Here's the scenario...there's a group that is on the verge of bankruptcy. Yet, it pays out a significant amount of money to a select group of favored employees. Sound familiar?
You're probably thinking...AIG. And you're right. This is exactly what went on over at AIG a few weeks ago. It's also going on in Nassau County.
Since 2004, Tom Suozzi has paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars in performance bonuses. How do you get this boodle? Well, first you've got to be a Suozzi Democrat. Then, you've got to do some political work for Suozzi.
Performance bonuses in Nassau County are done by how useful you are to Tom Suozzi. Support him -- say by working on his campaign for governor, you get a Christmas bonus. Don't, and, well, if you still have a job, you're not getting a bonus.
The legality and morality of paying bonuses to people who do campaign work aside, how is Suozzi, the man who 'turned Nassau around,' paying out bonuses at all? The county is on the verge of fiscal disaster. Yet he pays bonuses to his favorites.
Its just one more reason why Nassau needs a change. For eight years, people have put their own self interest before that of the people who elected them. For eight years, the people of Nassau County have been forced to literally subsidize and pay for one man's political ambitions and agenda.
No more. This November, there is going to be a real change in Nassau County. It's time to vote out the whole Suozzi International Group.
