Nassau County Politics the greatest living arguement for TERM LIMITS! Town of Hempstead & Village of Garden City why do we need these levels of government? Oh! To Tax us & get in the way of progress. If the opposite of pro is con what is the opposite of progress…… CONGRESS. Socialism is alive & well in the Town of Hempstead.

A friend of mine who lives in Baldwin has seen Kate Murray numerous times. As was noted, this is normal for an election year.

So Michael Martino,the author of this Lighthouse abandonment article still stands by it after the party in control,Charles Wang describes it as being bogus and untrue? With all due respect to your comment guidleines,Chris,I must ask a question here. “Is this excuse for a jounalist and reporter some kind of hard butt idiot?” Why is it so difficult to admit his source was obviously mistaken,not to mention offering an apology for taking years off Islanders fans lives from needless worry? One of the prerequisites of being a solid professional is to MAN UP when the situation demands it. This Martino fellow disgraced the LI Press and now has stupidly added insult to injury. More importantly,thank goodness Charles passion is still alive and something may actually get done,if not in Nassau,then perhaps Queens or Brooklyn. It certainly appears Kate Murray is doing everything in her power to iritate Charles. After just stating he will not inform the media of any meetings,Murray decides to disrespect his decision and immediately informs Newsday she has now offered a possible rezoning of a scaled down Project. My guess is, unfortunately it will something designed for him to refuse.

I want to come to Spartiarti-RVC’s defense here. He’s not lying about seeing the politicos at the train station. Election time for those of us who commute by train to the city means the politicians are out in force at all the train station platforms canvassing for votes and handing out their BS propaganda literature. It gets really absurd the closer it gets to election day. You can’t find these politicians to save your life when you need them, but they are up your a** when they want your vote. Just sayin . . .

i love long island!! i haven’t lived there in 16 yrs but i’d rather travel to uniondale (where i lived as a boy and my dad bought season tickets the 1st yr, when we didnt have a pot to piss in) then go to a game in queens or brooklyn. that line by wang got me

i’m just a firm believer that the isles are a long island team not a ny team and the greatest team that ever played hockey. 19 series in a row!!!! it will NEVER be matched during my lifetime

i love long island and miss it

I think we are all having fun speculating on the LH. At the same time most of us are ardent supportors of the project and are praying that at the end all will end well.{shakespere said it better] However its one of the many things in life that is beyond our control-which is also very frustrating. So when Wang and Murray finally take their best shots we will have our answer. In the meantime maybe its better we don’t really what’s going on. Remember the old adage “you don’t want to know how laws are passed, or sausages are made, or how root canals are done.”

It feels like the schedule so far has really made the Lighthouse Project so much more difficult. Huge gaps between games, the players must find it tough to get going. Let’s hope for Lighthouse does keep moving forward and now that some games are coming up, Let’s Play Hockey!!

As a diehard NYI fan for the better part of the past three decades residing in NJ, I feel so incredibly helpless with respect to CW vs. KM. I suppose all I can do at this point is implore my fellow NYI fans residing in the TOH to spread the word amongst family and friends to vote KM out of office. She and her cronies seriously ought to be ashamed of themselves. I still can’t get over the one guy asking CW how tall the buildings would be. I realize the chances are slim of KM losing the election, but as the NY Lottery saying goes, “Hey, you never know!”
