Readers Write: A DA who can tackle public corruption in Nassau

The Island Now

So many happenings were worthy of attention during the DA campaign. 

With it over, it is now possible to examine them and the reality they pose.

Sometimes it is necessary for a person to ‘step on toes’ when writing or speaking about such as the welfare of Nassau County and the income of the people.

With the feds investigation of the Skelos and son matter and whatever else is involved, it can now go forward with hope that it will be properly resolved.

We now have a DA ‘with a spine’ it can be said and not ‘a bowl of jelly’ as it might have been able to say.

Nassau County Executive Mangano was mentioned as was Sen. Martins. 

Mr. Mangano’s buddy was said to have been arrested for bribery.

Both of the above mentions received a superfluous dismissal-fluff off. It came from the usual sources.

Surely the feds did not mention them without a reason.

Now with our authentic DA who is free to act as duty demands, we will see what happens.

There is still the unfinished Sheldon Silver matter in NYC.

It was published that a corporation was giving away money. Two hundred thousand dollars went to Gov. Cuomo and $200,000 went to Sen. Martins. I didn’t see what the money was for.

Sen. Martins was writing some articles about ‘how nice his family is.’ So what do I care? 

After reading two of them, I had enough.

What I did just read was Sen. Martins trouncing on Gov. Cuomo’s working to get a $15 per hour minimum wage using the same old worn out rhetoric saying it would destroy small businesses.

If some should go out of business, others who can do it right will fill the vacuum. Everyone deserves a fair share.

I have recently seen how often Sen. Martins has been getting his pic in the newspapers by being available for any and every kind of gathering.

Really giving ‘Sunday Schumer’ a ‘run for the money.’ 

Watching the Sunday evening news, I see it before I see it and it’s time to go put some coffee in my cup.

I wonder how much time Sen. Martins actually spends in Albany working and how much he really makes per hour based on his salary and perks when he actually works. 

If one ducks their duty, they must be a quack. It seems I read something like that somewhere.

At $7.25 per hour, a person can easily spend an hours worth getting to and from work: far from the public paying for the commute to and from Albany.

We all could use an extra $200,000.
