Aside from the major business at hand of accepting Supervisor Mark Lesko's budget proposal, the Brookhaven town board meeting Tuesday night briefly featured some unexpected entertainment.

Mastic Beach mayoral candidate and local blogger Frank Cucchiara, aka “Honest Frank,” addressed the board wearing a USA flag as a cape, then danced in front of the honorable group before being escorted away.

Ah, the joys of local politics.
