The Truth and Tom Suozzi, Part 2

I'd like to paste in an excerpt from Tom Suozzi's facebook page.

Tom Suozzi's never been very good at sitting still, but what he has been great at is finding solutions and solving problems. At a time when too many politicians make things worse by passing the buck, Suozzi does the opposite--he tackles our problems.

OK. If you say so. But the truth is somewhat different. Here's the truth.

Tom Suozzi is an expert at creating problems and blaming other people. Take a look at NIFA. I'm not going to deny that Nassau wasn't doing too well back in 2001. But Tom took a bailout from the state (a bailout that was a one shot deal; courtesy of the state's perilous condition and Tom Suozzi's friends like Craig Johnson destroying the once legendary power of the Republican Long Island delegation, it can't happen here again). Thing is, Tom dug a deeper hole. He took the 100 million. And he spent. And taxed. And borrowed. Don't believe me? Just get the NIFA report.

In a word -- if a solution was a tree and Tom was in a forest, he wouldn't be able to find one.

Tom also lies about his ability to take responsibility. I haven't seen him take one single shred of responsibility for Nassau County's condition. Instead he blames Tom Gulotta. Tom left office 8 years ago and hasn't been seen since. He blames the GOP legislative majority -- gone since 99. He blames the economy -- you can't pin over a hundred million on the sales tax. He claims that the Lighthouse is going to save Long Island unconditionally, all while doing nothing productive to bring the project off the drawing board other than bash the GOP. He and his lackey Dennenberg and Mejias blame American Water for raising rates -- a rate that their property taxes and energy tax are responsible for. He takes credit for stuff he has nothing to do with -- there was a press conference in Elmont where Suozzi and his traitor lapdog Nina Bastardi took credit for years of development work by John Ciotti, Joe Cairo, John DeGrace and Ed Ambrosino. Before that press conference, High Tax Tom hadn't been seen in Elmont since 2005. The Valley Stream/Franklin Square GOP organization is there EVERY DAY working with the local residents and businesses to develop the property.

Showhorse or workhorse? Results and answers or press conference?

You remember this in 6 weeks and vote the way you think will be best for the County. To me, there is only one answer.
