Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman got into a heated exchange with two Democrats hours before the legislature failed to pass a bill needed to fund his $428 million plan towards improvements to roads, parks, and police equipment. At a news conference ahead of the vote — in which all 12 Republican members voted to approve the plan and all seven Democrats abstained — Blakeman, a Republican, tore into Democrats for not backing the plan that’s been in limbo for months. Moments after Blakeman spoke, Legis. Seth Koslow (D-Merrick), in attendance and challenging Blakeman in the November county executive race, approached the podium with a contract in hand that would promise funds specific to their districts. Blakeman did not sign that contract. Link in bio for more details.
