Readers Write: Great Neck shifting to GOP

The Island Now

It is time that the Nassau Republican Party devote funds and resources to LOCAL races, such as the district of “no-bail” state Senator Anna Kaplan.

The Sunday Newsday (Dec. 13, 2020) article shows that the presidential Republican vote beat the Democratic vote by in excess of 40 percent along the Great Neck peninsula.

NO OTHER area in Nassau or Suffolk rivaled this result save the Five Towns in southwest Nassau.

Furthermore, local media emphasis on Democratic-liberal themes is not a reflection of today’s Great Neck peninsula. They are a remnant of the time when I was raised in the South Bronx, when so many liberal judges who released hoodlums back on NYC streets, resided in Great Neck. It’s easy to be liberal on the backs of others.
