BACKGROUND:

  • Macchio, 64, of Plainview, is running for Oyster Bay receiver of taxes.

  • He owns a commercial and residential property remodeling business and previously worked as a trader in financial services.

ISSUES:

  • He said he would issue reports internally to show how tax dollars were being spent.
