NEWSFLASH! Schmitt honored by local Republican club!

In what must have come as a huge suprise, Massapequa republicans recently honored Schmitt and gave him a pretty little plaque. Why was he honored you might ask? Well he was honored for his "watchdog approach to county government." Now what kind of a "watchdog" tries to give himself a 90% pay raise? What kind of "watchdog" signs off on a new health insurance administrator for the county without reading the agreement? The BPA scam that cost Nassau $70million in one year and Schmitt chalked it up to a big "oops." Maybe he was being a "watchdog" when he signed off on Gulotta's one-shot budget deals that sank the county finances. Hey maybe he's a "watchdog" driving around in a county car (the only legislator to have one.)
When it comes down to it, Schmitt is the blind, three-legged kind of "watchdog."


"At a recent cocktail reception, Peter Schmitt, Legislator of the 12th legislative district and the Minority Leader of the Nassau County Legislature was honored for his "watchdog" approach to County government.
