“I’ve been doing this since I was 12,” Suffolk County Democratic Chairman Rich Schaffer was saying the other day about his involvement in Suffolk politics.
Now 57, Mr. Schaffer has been the Suffolk Democratic chairman since 2000. As county Democratic leader, “I especially love the generational stuff getting young people into politics,” he said.
It’s kind of full-circle for Rich.
He’s a former member of the Suffolk County Legislature, elected at age 22. On the Legislature he charted an independent course; indeed, informed independence has been a hallmark of Mr. Schaffer’s route in politics and government.
He’s been Babylon Town supervisor for more than 18 years. After two series of terms, he’s the longest-serving supervisor in Babylon history. And this year he’s running for re-election.

When Ewan McGregor was but a wee lad in a sleepy town in Scotland in the â70s, some 3,200 miles away in a Manhattan townhouse on East 63rd Street, Roy Halston Frowick was living on a diet of baked potatoes with beluga caviar, chilled Stolichnaya, rent boys and mounds of cocaine piled in Elsa Peretti silver ashtrays. (With silver straws to match.)
âIâd never heard of him,â said a bearded Mr. McGregor, Zooming from his L.A. home. âI didnât know Halston at all.â

New Jersey’s “incredible shrinking township” may be too small to provide ambulance service for its residents, say Shrewsbury Township officials, who have struggled to arrange for service since the last squad it used folded a year ago.
“We’re talking human life here, and it’s very frustrating, and it’s ongoing,” said Mayor Glenwood Puhak, who leads the three-member Shrewsbury Township Committee.
“The attorney’s been calling around, Tinton Falls and other areas, and we’ve been striking out,” added Puhak, 70, a retired Fort Monmouth technical writer. “I’m not a spring chicken so I may need the service myself.”

As the number of daily COVID-19 cases in New Jersey continues to fall, Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, refuses to relax some of his strict social-distancing guidelines. Meanwhile, his state-run public transportation seems to be marching to its own beat.
Commuters in New Jersey are raising concerns as to why NJTransit trains and buses are allowed to be filled up and ignore social distancing guidelines. Fox News obtained photos and videos from commuters on NJ Transit buses showing overcrowding and a lack of social distancing.
