Spin Cycle

Here’s a Republican-inspired argument: If our accountant is good enough for the City of Glen Cove and Tom Suozzi, he should be good enough for the Village of Hempstead.
That concept was put forward by Trustee Don Ryan, a registered Republican, as he argued last week that the Village of Hempstead should keep its long-time outside accounting firm, Bloom & Co. a locally based firm.
“When then-Mayor Tom Suozzi took over in Glen Cove (in 2002) he kept them on as the CPA’s there. They are still the Village of Glen Cove’s CPA’s,” Ryan said at a board meeting Thursday night.
Ryan’s argument did not carry the day. Village Mayor Wayne Hall, who is close to Suozzi — the Nassau County executive and candidate for governor — persuaded the Board of Trustees to hire Callahan & Nawrocki, a Melville firm.
