A draft list of Nassau legislative committee assignments shows that incoming Presiding Officer Diane Yatauro (D-Glen Cove) is expanding the number of committees from 12 to 16, adding separate committees for labor, education, aging and procedures.
At least one legislator is not impressed with the additions. “These committees are about nothing and can do nothing. Jerry Seinfeld should be chairing them,” said Legis. David Mejias (D-Farmingdale), photo at right.
Legis. David Denenberg (D-Merrick) is listed as being on eight committees, but apparently the transition has led to some confusion because his name is spelled incorrectly as Dennenberg. "At least it’s only on the committee assignments,” Denenberg said. “This will be the first of five inaugurations where the announcement actually spells my name correctly."
