Who is Peter Schmitt?

We here are Pete Schmitt Watch have been dissecting our namesake for almost a year now. We have a new look and expanded our coverage. We know what kind of person Schmitt is. We have reported on his outragous lies and have chronicled his misdeeds. We have kept our coverage above-board and will continue to do so. We don't believe that it would be right to go into the gutter where Schmitt resides.
Today's Newsday had an article by Joseph Mallia profiling Schmitt as "Hard-ball Critic of Suozzi." Schmitt does play hard-ball and maybe it's time to play hard-ball back.

Let's look past his never having worked in the private sector in his life. Living off the public teat is just something republican hacks do. From over-paid appointed positions in the Town of Oyster Bay to an elected position in a district that is 3-1 republican, Schmitt is warm and safe in his cocoon of the republican machine.
Anthony Santino, another republican hack tells Newsday about Schmitt "He's Level-headed. He's rock solid." HA! Schmitt is the most volatile member of the legislature and is well known for his red-faced outbursts and bad manners. If he doesn't get his way, he reverts to a spoiled 5 year old. Schmitt has not taken well to being in the minority.

We have detailed his lies which is certainly a serious character issue. What we have not mentioned but feel free to do so now that Newsday is on record is that Schmitt is a criminal.
In 1983 while deputy commissioner for a department in charge of alcohol Control Schmitt got a DWI. Let's repeat that - He got a DWI while running a alcohol control department. According to his own bio in the Massapequan Observer, "Additionally, he (Schmitt) directed efforts to update the mission and operations of both the Town's Drug and Alcohol Abuse Program and the Town of Oyster Bay Youth Bureau.

So he got a DWI AND a DUI while supposedly concerned about the youth of the Town of Oyster Bay. How hypocritical and quite frankly disgusting. One DWI is bad enough but he has TWO. Did Schmitt learn his lesson? Not according to local Massapequa residents who witness Schmitt driving away from his watering hole after a few drinks. Not too long ago Schmitt was allegedly pulled over by a NCPD rookie officer and reportedly belligerently said "do you know who I am?."

Schmitt explained to Newsday about his drunk driving "That's a matter of record, and I don't deny it. I don't think there's anyone who hasn't made a mistake as some point in their lives."
Hey Peter, we don't have DWI on our record much less TWO. We haven't put people in danger. We haven't committed a crime that could have resulted in the death of innocent people. Once is a mistake but twice is complete disregard for the law and the residents of the Massapequas. Again, Schmitts comments are just plain disgusting and are an insight into his character. The question is also how old was Schmitt when he made "a mistake." He wasn't a teenager or college kid, he was in his thirties and a gov't official. When did Schmitt become an adult?
Here is an interesting new product.

Schmitt continues his high batting average of lies when he says "Our goal now is not to pull down ... " Well Peter, that's EXACTLY what you have been trying to do with your blatant lies and deceptions.
And the final kicker "We have never been knee-jerk obstructionists." Riiiiiggghhhht. If the Legislature Dems or Tom Suozzi says the sky is blue, Schmitt would turn beet-red and insist that the sky is "..In fact green."
The record is clear on Peter Schmitt and maybe more people will see who and what he really is now that he is willing to cross the line of decency for political gain.

Schmitt is willing to say anything, do anything and hurt anyone to help himself and his political fortunes.

We welcome anyone clicking through this website to read our archives and go over our bill of particulars and are sure that their conclusion will be the same as ours; Peter Schmitt is unworthy of the office he holds.
