He should be working on correcting the assessments and reducing the $150 million deficit, instead he's wandering around holding press conferences for nonsense like this to get publicity. Sure let's have residents buy guns and ship them to Ukraine instead of fund raising for a million refugees displace by the invasion, that makes a lot of sense.

No, it is because they can't properly be done now. They use a mix of cold and hot patch during the winter months. The only way to properly fix it is all hot patch and that is only able to be done in the warmer months. Potholes are filled properly in the spring - fall by cleaning out the area of the pothole and then applying a hot patch to and well beyond the initial hole. This hopefully, will prevent the water and ice from getting to the original hole.

IF you see a pothole instead of ignoring it and figuring the other guy will do it, call 1-800-POTHOLE and give them the place the pothole is located at.

All the roads on LI for the most part need to be redone, but it is a costly proposition not only in dollars and cents, but in terms of disruption of traffic.

Blakeman on Thursday urged residents to drop off licensed, unloaded long rifles at a Franklin Square gun shop for donation to Ukrainians, but did not say how the weapons would get to the Eastern European nation.

At a news conference outside SP Firearms Unlimited, Blakeman said county residents, from Friday through Monday, can drop off "long weapons" — rifles, shotguns, AR-15s or a derivative of the AR-15.
What is a "licensed" long rifle? Neither the state nor Nassau require licensing of long rifles unless they're considered an "assault weapon" and were grandfathered in under that licensing scheme about ten years ago. The vast majority of them are owned by law enforcement - most civilians either sold them or modified them so they wouldn't be afoul of the law.

And while we're at it, screw Ukraine. It's a virtual puppet state lead by a government that took power via a US-backed coup and immediately started bombing pockets of ethnic Russians within their territory using western-supplied weapons and agitating to join NATO. Imagine our reaction if Russia started supplying Canada with weapons to bomb separatist Canucks living in Buffalo, and courted them to station Russian missiles across the border. Actually you don't have to imagine our reaction - it was already demonstrated during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Watch this, if you're interested in the background of this conflict:
