(MINEOLA, N.Y.) – On Friday, April 5, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman announced a lawsuit against New York State seeking to overturn recently-enacted legislation that moves many elections for local offices in Nassau County to even years.
Following the announcement, Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D – Glen Cove) issued the following statement:
“Here we go again with the Blakeman administration's latest wasteful lawsuit-of-the-week, paid for by Nassau taxpayers. The Democratic Minority Caucus voted against retaining special counsel to pursue this politically motivated action, and we are confident this frivolous litigation will be swiftly thrown out of court,” Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D – Glen Cove) said.
