Ashanti joins Suozzi on tour promoting Nassau

Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi went to Manhattan on a tourist raid Tuesday, picking up 16 visitors to the Big Apple and giving them an all-expense-paid tour of Nassau.

[Mr Q]

Suozzi and Ashanti should've taken the tourists thru my town of Roosevelt and Hempstead and shown them that the flourishing economy of neighboring towns are not mirrored.

[liner]

When did the tour stop in Roosevelt and Hempstead? Midnight snack in New Castle?

[foo]

Ah-who-she?

[nonsense]

The "sterile" suburbs are no match for the excitement that Manhattan has to offer! Just more free publicity for Suoz!

[Oh Boy]

Instead of begging people to come to Nassau County, The County Exec should be trying to keep the flocks of residents from moving from his County due to staggering taxes. But no, Mr. Public Relations pulls a media ploy and he thinks he is cool.
How about keeping Nassau County residents in Nassau!!

[Oh Boy]

Since the Souz has taken over the services of Nassau County have declined and the taxes have gone up over 24% in his first term.
It won't be long before Nassau is known as Queens East.

[Kokomo Joe]

Go Tommy! Excellent idea. I hope this pans out for the County. Good work!

[Suzy]

Suozzi has an original ideeeea, woweee

[Jay Jay]

Lame

[Mr Jones]

This is a desperate man. And did the taxpayer's foot this bill. It is very cheap for Europeans to come as tourists to America. So this is not really necessary. Souzzi should lead paid tours to visitor's, not free ones

[okay]

I think it is a good idea, somepeople don't even know where Long Island is. When you tell people that you are from Long Island they think it is so far away they have a lot of stereotypes.

[North shore gal]

"Louie's Oyster Bay and Grill in Port Washington"....??????

Sounds like this LONG ISLAND NEWSDAY reporter could use a tour as well. More crackerjack reporting and fact checking from our local rag.

[Hempstead]

He can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. Did he bring them here to Hempstead and show how he and his co-horts have provided the seamless drive between Garden City and Rockville Center? His minion, Wayne Hall, has promised to provide this when he was elected. Show how much development Wayne Hall has done. Show those tourists how this village is replete with law abiding citizens and how the housing reflects the suburban dream. Where did little Suozzi take them, pray tell.

[Lizzy]

I think Suozzi rocks and so does Ashanti. We should be proud.

[Al Sleet]

Sheesh, what a bunch of whiners! Is everyone who lives on Long Island a bellyaching grouch with nothing good to say about anything, or is it just you people who've got this bug up your collective butt?

[1130 Port]

did they get a tour of Kaiman's house too?

[Crabbe]

If the tourist are lucky, they can get their picture taken by the Police, then they can get a free tour of Kathleen Rice Tourture Chambers...

[Suozzi ROCKS]

The racist wingnut cranks who hang out on these boards are on the GOP payroll. Gulotta, the last of three Republitards to serve as County Exec, completely ruined the County finances and let the beaches and parks go completely to hell. Suozzi is rebuilding what we have, and I salute him.

[Crabbe]

Suozzi , stop begging everone to come to Nassau County. It's not worth touring, we've been through this, it's changed and it has very little to offer. It's time to hit rock bottem here, and were close. No more begging please.

Whats your problem with the GOP? Did they leave you off they're payroll, or is it because they're against you and your "partner" getting married. The dumbocrats have taken a bad situation in nassau and made it worse. Crime, unemployment and taxes are up. The economy is in the trash. The housing crisis is a joke. The DA's office is so inept they're letting murders offs, and instead round up drunks and publish it in hopes people wont notice the difference. Enough diversion tactics Tom, get to work on a real problem. Like preventing the droves of people who move out of nassau each year.
