Incumbent Legislator Muscarella Re-elected

Nassau County voters re-elected Vincent Muscarella to the 8th Legislative District. He has served as legislator for the past six years. At Republican headquarters Election Day, Muscarella told his following, "Republicans built this county and Republicans, under the leadership of our great chairman Joe Mondello, will keep this county strong."

Having won re-election in 2001, Mr. Muscarella sang the praises of Joe Mondello.

Now, its one thing to laud Republicans for building Nassau County. They did, and every Republican -- every Nassau County resident -- should acknowledge and be proud of that accomplishment.

But to sing the praises of Joe Mondello, the man who brought us Tom Gulotta, and in the midst of this county's worst financial nightmare?

What was Mr. Muscarella thinking?
