Speaker of the House John Boehner will be coming to St. James to help raise money for Randy Altschuler as money continues to pour into the rematch between the Republican challenger and incumbent Democrat Tim Bishop.
According to Newsday, Boehner, R-Ohio, will be attending a fundraiser at the private home of Stephen and Carolyn Louro in Nissequogue, not far from Altschuler's St. James residence.
As the two candidates started debating last week, ads have been hitting the airwaves and fliers from several different organizations — namely, state committees and super PACs — started arriving in potential voters' mailboxes.
, topping Altschuler by fewer than 600 votes after more than 180,000 votes were cast.
Boehner will visit Suffolk Oct. 10, reportedly making a couple of other fundraising stops in New York while he's in the area. Newsday reports that tickets at the private party start at $250, with VIP photo ops going for $1,000 and a VIP roundtable for $5,000.
Louro, named one of Long Island Business News' top 40 under 40 in 2001, founded Professional Group Plans in the early 1990s and according to tax records, pays one of the highest property tax bills in Smithtown — more than $80,000 last year.
Louro's company is headquartered in the Hauppauge Industrial Park, with additional locations in New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut. PGP employs more than 100 people, and specializes in offering group health insurance to other companies.

For Obama and the left, the law is merely a suggestion for what they can do. Can't get something through Congress? Simply issue an executive order. Can't get an appointment through the Senate? Simply "declare" the Senate in recess and appoint away. Act now and let the judges sort it out later. For the past several weeks, several defense contractors made it clear they would have to send out layoff notices to thousands of workers due to automatic budget cuts set to take affect in January. The cuts are triggered by the debt ceiling "deal" hatched last year. The layoff notices are required under federal
I wonder if that reimbursement of costs will come out of our taxes or Obama's campaign funds. No I don't, we all know we'll be paying for it - well, not the 47% that aren't paying taxes anyway.
It would be cruel under the circumstances to frighten people with the loss of their livelihood merely because of Republican posturing.
So the rationale is: we can ignore Federal law because "perhaps" the problem will go away. With 30+ years in this business you can believe me Hat, people in the Defense industry are sufficiently frightened already.
While the Republicans have assumed the outraged virgin persona for this specious claim, the truth is that nothing will come of their assertions. No one will be laid off UNLESS the radical Republicans force the country into recession. A reasonable man would conclude that that is unlikely, even for a party that, collectively and individually, has shown itself indifferent to the suffering it causes to ordinary (i.e. not rich) Americans. At this point, layoff notices would be purely speculative and are premature.
The republican party's best efforts to steal this election (which they know they cannot win outright) are being shot down one by one!
60-day WARN notices are required under Federal law if "mass layoffs are reasonably foreseeable", the WARN Act doesn't specify who gets to decide forseeable, so if a company believes layoffs are "reasonably foreseeable" they have to issue WARN notices or be held liable for individual or class action lawsuits. For the Adminstration to say they'd cover any legal costs for an employer failing to issue WARN notices amounts to bribery and surely implies they consider layoffs to be a distinct possibility.
It's insulting to me as a voter. I am know nothing more of either candidate as a result that would make me feel either deserve my vote. This two party dictatorship is the demise of our political system. Career politicians love political parties and political parties love career politicians. this is what our system generates
Actually, the extremist House Republicans, for the first time in the history of the United States, threatened to throw the country into default if the Democrats didn't agree to their demands. The REASON that it never happened before is because it is INSANE (just ask any economist.) Not being irrational, and fearing that the Republican True Believers were prepared to fulfill their threat and destroy the economy of the country, the Democrats agreed.. Are the layoffs "reasonably foreseeable"? I think not. So far, the Republicans' doomsday weapon has not been activated and it seems impossible that anyone, even Republicans in thrall to their own solipsistic dogma, would sacrifice their own countrymen on the altar of their faith. (Not to mention the possibility that they will be soon be in the minority and the party of reason and compassion will forestall their mad oblation.) The administration decision is perfectly legal and will survive any challenge. There will be no repercussions.
If you know of any military personnel that are looking for an absentee ballot, have them go to www.heroesvote.org...please pass this on.
Please tell me you have half a clue? Please educate yourself on the facts of stealing elections specifically Minnesota and Philadelphia! History can only be altered and revised do much by your liberal media and liberal professors before truth and reality prevail.
Like all things in life, things change. If you refuse to show id to vote don't vote. Nothing to do with Neanderthal thinking. When you open an account at the bank do you need show Id? When you go into a bar and order beer when you were younger did you show id? When you go to a library and take out a book did you show id? So why not produce id for such a significant matter as voting for our next president whom will represent us to the world? Why? Because we all know the answer? Many people like I said who do not contribute to the country will not be able to vote under someone else's name. Fact!
