Man I don't want to sound uncaring but I guess that means his $300,000 General Counsel job at Nassau Medical is available. I'd take a 10% finders fee on finding a new candidate for that cushy little gig.

Well he was only 66 so I do feel bad for the family of course but fact is - there's a job open. I'm wondering if they'll move in someone they expect to run for County Executive next year since I can't imagine they'd support Mangano - or maybe even push Mangano himself out and over there to get him out of the way. Ciotti probably wasn't doing much there anyway since he had no previous experience for the job so someone else was already running things there behind the scenes and will keep on running things, but they still have to name someone for the job and I bet they're already looking at their short list since his salary was also already budgeted in for next year.
His death is tragic but the system is corrupt. This is from Newsday five years ago:

The enormous pot of gold former Nassau County Legis. John Ciotti found at the Nassau University Medical Center after losing his re-election bid must be very reassuring to loyal political party members. The bright rainbow of patronage remains to reward the faithful, despite the county's dire financial problems and the precarious condition of its public-mission hospital.
Just days before the end of his career as a legislator, which had a base salary of $39,500, Ciotti, a lawyer with no experience in the complex field of health-care regulation, was named by the board of trustees as the hospital's general counsel. He even got a raise before stepping through the door. His $300,000 salary is $40,000 higher than what was paid to the highly regarded health-care lawyer who left the post, and higher than the going rate for such a position. The new job description will now include the hiring of outside attorneys who have the special expertise required.
NUMC is yet another home along with OTB for out of work politicians. Ciotti was a store front lawyer with no related background and as I recall he was unanimously approved by the board of doctors. They have him a $20,000 increase to start, I thought that was pretty funny was he going to turn down the offer without the raise for another job.
