Probably not gonna happen. Nassau’s demographics have changed. More hispanic, more NYC refugees who bring the NYC desire for more govt services.The voters who brought the GOP power are growing old, moving south and their kids can’t afford to stay on the island in thesame communities.

No, it’s gone. It was an old-style political machine, and as you say things have changed. But in spite of its negative aspects, since it went down it has been sorely missed as a piece of balance.

New York would be a lot more corrupt than it is if it hadn’t been for that historical balance between the Republicans and Democrats in the two chambers.
