Altadonna, Schiaffino and Pearl to Run Unopposed in Villlage Election

Mayor and two Massapequa Park trustees seek new terms in March election.

Massapequa Park Mayor James Altadonna will run opposed for a seventh term in March.

Altadonna, who was first elected in 2001, will head up the Village People's Rights-First Party along with incumbent trustees Tina Schiaffino and Daniel Pearl  and Village Justice Gerrard Giannattassio.

Schiafino will be running for her second full term. She was appointed to fill the seat vacated in 2010 by Jerry Laricchiuta. She was elected to a full term the following March.

Pearl was appointed to seat in December to fill the vacancy created by the death of Harry Jacobson.

Giannatassio was first elected as Village justice 10 years ago. He's also been an associate justice and Planning Commission Attorney. 

The incumbents were the only candidates who met this week's deadline to file as a candidate in the Mar. 19 Village Election. Voters can write-in candidates, and polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

when you say elite do you mean the hard working people who have money? it's a matter of labels. youRead More call them elite..they call themselves hard workers. yes, some inherit money. but most of us work for it.

No, it has nothing to do with how hard you work. It's just that the elite one percenters are treatedRead More differently when they run afoul of the laws in this country. No one has been jailed for the corporate malfeasance that resulted in the financial crash of '08, in spite of the rules that were ignored or broken. Too big to fail is the order of the day. Meanwhile, petty frauds committed by poor and middle class are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Two Americas. The rule of law, unevenly applied, whether by race, or class, or economic station will result in the unraveling of society. We may well be seeing the beginnings of that now, as we've entered a new gilded age, where new robber barons are allowed to run roughshod over the lower classes. The very ideals of America are at stake, and we are letting them slide away.

Will the new Massapequa station platform be covered end-to-end as it is now? If it will only beRead More partially covered, like Seaford station, there are going to be a lot of cold, wet, unhappy commuters.

Mr. Coyote, The design plans only call for a canopy over certain parts of the station platform, likeRead More almost all of the other stations along the branch. The canopies will be primarily over the staircases, elevator, waiting room, and one other small section on the middle section of the platform between the elevator and east escalator.
