Nassau County Critic?

What new job title is there in Nassau County? It's "Nassau County Critic." That's right according to an article in the June 13, 2003 Massapequan Observer "When asked to define his role as minority leader of the legislature, Schmitt said it was mostly "to criticize." Okay, there is no position called Nassau County Critic.. the job title is LEGISLATOR. The etymology or LEGISLATOR is: Latin legis lator, literally, proposer of a law, from legis (genitive of lex law) + lator proposer, from ferre (past participle latus) to carry, propose — Date: 1603.
The definition of LEGISLATOR is: one that makes laws especially for a political unit; especially : a member of a legislative body.
Nowhere is the job defined as being a critic. Now the article goes on to say "But he also acknowledged , without being specific (emphasis added), that the GOP should also offer alternatives to policies they oppose."
Well isn't that special. No specifics. Of course not. That would actually require work and not just posing for pictures.
Now to be fair an alternative was offered for the Storm Water and Sewer Authority by Skelos. An alternative Schmitt supported. Until of course he had to vote for components of the compromise package that would increase taxes.
So here is Schmitt's game-plan as we see it - 1)Criticize 2) Take pictures/have pubished in local papers 3) Demand Compromise 4) Back out of compromise 5) Lie about it to his constituents. 6) Take picutres/have published in local papers.

And remember kids, he's getting 60 G's for this.
