You do have to wonder what's going on in the mind of a politician when he spends so many working hours in a Panera Bread restaurant. What, there are no meeting rooms in Suffolk County buildings? For all we know, he might be running a business on the side. Such a revelation would not shock anyone who's lived in Suffolk County for any amount of time.

But, Suffolk citizens, please don't think you have corrupt or inept politicians all to yourselves. We can put up a pretty good game here in Nassau, too! It's why we try to warn the innocents who regularly come here and think it's a good idea to move to Long Island.

And they are just as bad on the Town Ship level. Should I mention Huntington (grin) although Patrone said at a recent town board meeting he would vote for term limits if it were set at a 12 year max

clearly he's there for the free refills. After all, the county is in a fiscal crisis.

Exactly, S.I.B.!

To the OP,

Here is how you do it with Newsday. Link to the mobile site because there is no subscription required:

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone was absent from the office for days at a time or longer during his first year on the job and often was difficult to reach, said four high-level sources with direct knowledge of his schedule.

Bellone, 43, a Democrat and former Babylon Town supervisor who took office in January 2012, would spend hours at a time during workdays at restaurants, and aides who were searching for him even monitored Twitter users for reported sightings, two of the sources said.
If you want to post a preview, post a "snippet" (two sentences or less).

My commentary on this: what a dirtbag Bellone is. I had that feeling about him. Unfortunately, Nassau County does not attract much better.
