First allegation shattered already

Schmitt is up in arms that Crowe Deegan was paid $4000 by the Nassau Industrial Development Agency for work for the Suozzi administration two months before Suozzi took office. Turns out according to Jon Santemma of Santemma and Deutsch (Gulotta adminsitration's firm) in Newsday, Crowe Deegan were brought in because a) Souzzi was going to take office and b) Santemma and Deutsch were in the middle of an important land deal when Nassau was buying the Grumman site from the Navy.
It would be smart to bring in the future county executive's choice for counsel when the negotiations for the sale would span two administrations.
