Officials of Teamsters Joint Council 16 have ordered a re-run of the officers’ election for Local 707, which represents truckers and Nassau County Off-Track Betting workers.The results of the Nov. 2 election “were extraordinarily close, with all races being decided by margins of between three and 24 votes,” according to the council’s decision, which was sent to the two candidates for president on Dec. 18. More than 600 mail ballots were submitted.
Challenger’s 6-Vote Edge
The incumbent president, Kevin McCaffrey, who is also a member of the Suffolk County Legislature, lost by six votes to retired challenger John Kelder, the decision said.
Mr. McCaffrey unseated Mr. Kelder in 1994 and has beaten him in elections since then.
At a hearing conducted by the council Dec. 10, Mr. McCaffrey said that 92 employees of two ambulance services were never included on the mailing list of eligible voters. Their employers did not provide signed dues-checkoff authorizations to the union until the last week in October and sent some but not all of the withheld dues, according to the decision. The employees’ names were not entered into the Teamsters computer system until after the ballots were mailed, the council said.
“McCaffrey contends that the employers are the principal culprits in causing the disenfranchisement because they attempted to hide these employees from the union,” the decision said. “The Joint Council believes that Local 707 knew or should have known about these employees well before the election and with ample time to allow them to participate…”
Looking for Bail-Out?
“In short,” the ruling continued, “this is a case where McCaffrey seeks relief from a disenfranchisement that occurr­ed because he and the remaining members of the Local 707 Executive Board failed to keep track of new members.”
The Local 707 election rules state that no member whose dues have been withheld by his employer after he or she has signed a checkoff authorization can be forbidden from voting or otherwise participating in elections, the decision said.
The council found that failure to provide ballots to the 92 employees was a violation of election rules, and added that given how close the races were, those 92 employees could have affected the results if allowed to vote.
Mr. McCaffrey also complained that Mr. Kelder’s supporters had broken election rules by campaigning for him during work time. Allegations were made that members wore anti-McCaffrey pins, campaign shirts and other paraphernalia while working and posted campaign material on bulletin boards.
Kelder’s Rebuttal
Mr. Kelder testified that he took steps to stop supporters from violating the rules. But he also said that Federal labor law allows people to wear campaign material at work and use “general-purpose” bul­le­tin boards for campaigning.
“After Kelder agreed to future compliance with the disputed election rule, he and/or his supporters disregarded that agreement and in doing so violated the rule against campaigning at work,” the decision said. “Moreover, given the tightness of the election results, the Joint Council finds that these violations could very well have affected the outcome of the election.”

The Nassau and Suffolk election boards, staffed primarily by political patronage employees, have escaped the workforce cuts that have hit nearly every other department in the county governments in the past five years, records show.
The Nassau County Board of Elections has added 32 full-time positions since 2011 — a 25 percent increase — while the county’s overall number of employees dropped...

Proudly building walls to keep out mexicans







Pope Francis in Rome on Thursday after returning from his visit to Mexico.Credit Alessandra Tarantino/Associated Press
Updated, 1:17 p.m. | Donald J. Trump said it was “disgraceful” that Pope Francisquestioned his faith on Thursday and suggested that his presidency would be the answer to the Vatican’s prayers because he would protect it from terrorists if elected.
As he returned to Rome after his six-day visit to Mexico, Francis said, “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” in response to a question about Mr. Trump aboard the papal airliner. 
Mr. Trump condemned that remark during a campaign rally in South Carolina, describing himself as a good Christian and arguing that Francis does not understand America’s immigration crisis.
“For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful,” Mr. Trump said.
The Trump campaign also released a statement from the candidate, defending his hard-line policies on immigration and saying the pope was out of line. 
“No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith,” Mr. Trump said, going on to claim that the pope was being used for political purposes by the Mexican government. “They are using the pope as a pawn and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so, especially when so many lives are involved and when illegal immigration is so rampant.”
Mr. Trump went on to say that he would defend Christianity more aggressively than current political leaders.
“If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’ ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president because this would not have happened,” Mr. Trump said. 
Other members of Mr. Trump’s campaign also pushed back against the pope. Dan Scavino, his social media director, posted an image of Vatican City and noted that it is surrounded by a wall.
And Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University and a supporter of Mr. Trump, said that the pope had crossed a line. 
“Jesus never intended to give instructions to political leaders on how to run a country,” Mr. Falwell told CNN.

The war has been lost and will never be won


The war and drug has been lost and as my body rots from a treatable autoimmune disease, type 1 diabetes,  you might ponder the following.  Bcg, unlike insulin allows the body to regenerate cells that the immune system has killed.  See eg faustmanlab.org pubmed.org Faustman dl uspto.gov inventor search Faustman.  Law enforcement depends on drugs to keep them in business and supplied with forfeited assets.

Long Island

Pain of addiction shared at Nassau heroin summit

 Reprints  + -

Recovering addicts and parents of overdose victims shared stories of grief and resilience Thursday at Nassau County’s Heroin Education Summit, a forum meant to bolster public awareness of Long Island’s opiate epidemic. 
Speakers from all walks of life — firefighters, teachers, college students and retirees among them — warned of the perils of heroin and painkiller abuse, a day after Nassau reported a record 58 fatal heroin overdoses in 2015. 
Nassau Assistant Chief Fire Marshal John Priest said his son Robert, a lieutenant in the East Meadow Fire Department, died of a heroin overdose in 2012. 
“My son Rob looked less like a drug addict than anybody you could imagine,” Priest said. “He was young, he was handsome, he was athletic, he was a leader . . . and he was a drug addict.”
Priest found his 23-year-old son sitting up in bed, hands folded over his chest. “I went over to shake him and he was ashen gray, and he was ice cold,” he said.
“Take out of your mind the words ‘this won’t happen to me,’ ” Priest told the crowd. “It’s everywhere.”
About 200 people attended the summit, held at Coral House in Baldwin.
Another grieving parent, Valerie Labiak of Bellmore, spoke of losing her son Michael, a 26-year-old aspiring police officer, to a fatal opiate overdose in 2014.

Michael was slated to start using Vivitrol — a medication that helps keep addicts from relapsing — but had trouble getting timely access to the drug, his mother said.
“Michael overdosed and died alone on the Long Island Rail Road,” Labiak said. “We know our son would still be with us if he’d received that Vivitrol as planned.”
Several recovering heroin and painkiller addicts addressed the crowd, including Steven Dodge, 25, who urged opiate abusers not to give up.
“Addiction is 100 percent treatable,” he said.
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, as well as the police commissioners from both counties, shared stories of their own encounters with friends and loved ones who battled addiction to opiates.
The county leaders held a ceremonial signing establishing a joint overdose task force charged with investigating every heroin overdose on the Island in hopes of tracking the drugs to their source.
In Suffolk, there were at least 103 fatal heroin overdoses last year, according to preliminary data.
