  • NYS and Nassau Democratic Committee Chair Jay Jacobs
    May 2 2025
    Donald Trump has passed the 100 day mark of his second term - and on the local level, big shake-ups are about to happen in the Town of Hempstead Supervisor Race with the current Republican Supervisor Don Clavin announcing he isn't going to seek re-election. It's also an election year for Republican Bruce Blakeman as he seeks re-election in the County Executive Race against Democrat challenger and current Nassau County Legislator Seth Koslow. The Democrats did not have many wins in 2024, so what’s changing in their minds for 2025? Bill McIntyre goes straight to the source by welcoming Mr. Jay Jacobs, Chairman of the New York State and Nassau County Democratic committees, to the conversation.

  • Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton
    Apr 11 2025
    So here in Nassau County, there has been quite a public back-and-forth between Republican County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and the minority Democratic caucus in the County Legislature. Mr. Blakeman needs at least one Democrat to sign on to help fund his 428 million dollar plan toward improvements to roads, parks and police equipment. Democrats want a promise that a certain percentage of the funds will be allocated specifically to Democratic districts, which they say are funds that Blakeman has denied. To learn more, we have invited Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton, a Democrat from Glen Cove, and the Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader, to tell us what has happened and what needs to happen in order for the Democrats to give the County Executive the signature he wants. A similar invitation has been sent to Mr. Blakeman’s office as well, and has not yet been accepted.

  • Newsday Investigation: Dangerous Roads
    Apr 4 2025
    Newsday is launching a year-long series focusing on dangerous roads here on Long Island, one of the deadliest regions for motorists and pedestrians in the state. Traffic crashes are so pervasive on Long Island that the collisions have touched nearly every resident and family, from fender benders to injuries to deaths. And the contributing factors are just as varied, from drivers who repeatedly lose their licenses, to impaired motorists, to how police enforce traffic laws. The series will explore potential solutions, as well as how risks are spread unevenly among communities. To learn more about this investigation, Bill McIntyre talks to one of the authors of the first article, Peter Gill, Transportation reporter for Newsday and Newsday.com.
