Dems raise alarm over possible GOP candidate appointment to Hempstead supervisor role

Democratic candidate for Hempstead Town Supervisor Joe Scianablo was outside town hall again Tuesday morning, continuing to raise the alarm over the possibility of the county’s Republican Party appointing their candidate, John Ferretti, to the position, something town officials have not said will occur.

“Republicans are hoping to quietly slip John Ferretti into the supervisor seat today with a last-minute emergency resolution,” Scianablo said. “This is a rigged power grab to make Ferretti supervisor now so he can run as the incumbent until November. That’s not democracy. It’s a political scam.”
