While processing my news photos of Congresswoman Laura Gillen’s swearing-in celebration yesterday, I visited Facebook during a quick break.

I was struck by how powerfully the following Facebook post, and one of its replies in particular, conveyed how it felt being at the event. (I have permission to share them here):

Seth Koslow running for Nassau County Executive

From LONG ISLAND – by Ann Parry (ann-parry.com)
January 10, 2025            

Democrat Seth Koslow for Nassau County Executive

Wednesday night, Legislator Seth Koslow kicked off his campaign for Nassau County Executive. Koslow, a Democrat, is challenging County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican.

Why Koslow’s running for County Executive

To make Nassau County Affordable“Lower property taxes and implement fiscally responsible policies to ease the financial burden on families and small business.”

This could the most important priority for Nassau County residents and business owners, considering Nassau County’s high taxes and high cost of housing, as a start.

“Seth Koslow

To Eliminate Wasteful Spending“End unnecessary lawsuits, inflated salaries, and administrative bloat to ensure your tax dollars are used effectively.”

To Strengthen Communities“Invest in public safety, education, infrastructure, and essential services that improve quality of life for all.”

Early last year, Blakeman proposed a controversial plan that would, he claimed, increase public safety: the creation of an armed deputy force:

Blakeman wanted to deputize armed private citizens for use, as he explained it, “for devastating emergencies” like extreme weather disasters and power outages.

In mid-April, a group of Nassau County residents submitted a petition with over 2000 signatures to the Nassau legislature. The group urged the lawmakers to seriously examine the proposal for “Blakeman’s militia,” as the residents called it.

Democrats accused Blakeman of aiming to create an illegal militia that might be used, for example, against public protests unpopular with the Republican’s agenda.

But on December 30, 2024, Blakeman swore in 26 special deputies.

The provisional special deputy sheriffs receive pay for training, plus when, if ever, they provide service.

If any, in their capacity as a special deputy, are named in a lawsuit, how might that affect Nassau County’s already high cost for attorneys, at the least?

To Govern Transparently“Introduce strict accountability measures to make sure every dollar is spent in the best interest of Nassau County residents.”

On December 16, 2024, Bruce Blakeman, with the support of the Republican-controlled county legislature, formally made New York Post Nassau County’s official newspaper.

Our official newspaper can get hundreds of thousands of advertising dollars for county notices that are legally required.

Until mid-December, Newsday was Nassau County’s official newspaper. Its Nassau County readership and coverage are significantly larger than New York Post’s is.

Why did Blakeman make the MAGA tabloid New York Post the official newspaper of Nassau County?

One might say the question contains the answer.

As I wrote in a recent post – Flagging Bruce Blakeman & New York Post –  Newsday and many other media sources have covered Blakeman’s unpopular decision not to lower county flags for a full 30 days – like the rest of our nation is doing right now – to commemorate President Jimmy Carter.

New York Post did not cover that.

Also, Newsday and several other area media sources* (see below for examples) have reported that Legislator Seth Koslow has officially launched his campaign against Bruce Blakeman for Nassau County Executive.

New York Post has yet to cover that.

Does it sound like New York Post was handpicked by Bruce Blakeman as Nassau County’s official newspaper to provide transparent, adequate, balanced coverage of, and for, Nassau County?

Koslow’s background

Seth Koslow served as a Queens County Assistant District Attorney from 2013 until 2016, when he set up his own legal practice, SIK. He’s admitted to practice law with New York State and New Jersey Bars, plus the Federal Bar for Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. 

In 2023, Koslow was elected Nassau County Legislator for the newly redrawn 5th District, which includes parts of Freeport, Bellmore, Merrick, North Bellmore and North Merrick.

Koslow’s the Ranking Member of the Public Safety Committee, and also serves on these six committees: Finance, Minority Affairs, Health & Social Services, Veterans, Government Services and Operations, and Towns, Villages & Cities.

Koslow’s an active community member. For example, in 2024 he played in a Merrick Mayhem coaches softball game and was an umpire for the Bellmore/Merrick Moms Softball Classic. His wife Jill has a bakery in North Bellmore. The Koslows live in South Merrick with their three children, Sam, Jaclyn and Julia, and their rescue dog Coco.

Flagging Bruce Blakeman & New York Post

From LONG ISLAND – by Ann Parry (annparry.com)
January 6, 2025

NOT in Bruce Blakeman’s ‘Backyard’ (NIBBBY): Flags are lowered 12/29-1/28 for our country’s 30 day commemoration of President Jimmy Carter’s death – but not in Nassau County.

When Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican, wouldn’t lower county flags starting Dec. 29, 2024, to honor President Jimmy Carter, like the rest of America did, our county became a nationwide embarrassment.

“Mineola, NY, USA. January, 2025. Flags flying at Theodore Roosevelt Nassau County Executive and Legislative Building are not lowered to half mast during nationwide symbolic commemoration of President Jimmy Carter who recently died.

But you can’t read about any of that in the New York Post – which is now the official newspaper of Nassau County, thanks to Blakeman with the support of the Republican-controlled Nassau County legislature.

President Biden ordered flags at federal buildings to be put at half-staff for thirty days – from December 29th to January 28th – in honor of the late former president, who died at the age of one hundred.

State governors, including New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul, directed state flags to fly at half staff during those thirty days.

This follows the U.S. Flag Code 4 USC 7 related to the death of U.S. Presidents. The flag code is advisory, not mandatory. 

Yesterday, January 5th – after facing widespread negative media coverage*  (see below for examples) – Blakeman said that Nassau County will lower flags at county operated buildings, but just for this Tuesday through Thursday.

These three days cover when President Carter lies in state, starting January 7th, until he is buried on the National Day of Mourning, January 9th.

Does anyone in Nassau County doubt that Bruce Blakeman would have lowered county flags starting December 29, 2024, if President Carter had been a Republican?
