9% Tom on Tolls, someone should question his prosition on high density car dependent development, he loves so much. Great Tom push the traffic off the LIE and into residential neighborhood's. This is about good a plan as the Glen Cove Waterfront!
WHAT'S AN OPEN CASH BAR? Does this mean they are open to taking our cash?
More interesting is that since Spitzer is so far ahead in the polls he feels free to push the LIRR third track proposal which has been buried by NIMBY opposition that Suozzi is trying to milk. Spitzer opposes the idiot LIRR-downtown rail link (boondoggle) but supports the critical LIRR main-line expansion. A mirror image of Suozzi's program. The Nassau Republican Senate core has been pandering to the NIMBY's but know the Main-Line third track is critical to intra-island and reverse commutes. Suozzi has backed himself into a corner while losing ground in the polls on transportation.
Nicole: open cash bar is an oxymoron
BLAH, BLAH,Tom Suozzi was a man without a plan in Glen Cove, and has been a man without a plan for the last 5 years in Nassau County!While NIFA paid Tom Suozzi has played!The Nero of Nassau is a disgrace to all hard working taxpayers here and all over NYS!
How wrong you are. Suozzi was a man with a plan: Get elected Governor while pretending to run as an outsider/reformer type. And the second part of the plan was to surround himself with a bunch of ego pumping yes men.
