"Suffolk County’s political party bosses are busy at work selecting
our next sheriff and district attorney. Their diabolical goal: these two
county-wide races will again be uncontested – meaning no choice for the
voters, only for the bosses. Nothing new – we haven’t had a choice in a
DA or county sheriff election for 14 years. Why is that?
First of all, in the DA’s office, over 400 assistant district
attorneys and other staff are hired at the DA’s discretion. They
prosecute all criminal cases in all the courts of Suffolk, including in
our justice courts on the East End. No doubt these jobs will be divided
among Democratic and Republican leaders, with handouts as well to the
Conservative and Independence Party leaders, as with chips in a cynical
game of cards."
